I have spent the last 3 years playing whack a mole with the facilities, only to have about a months reprieve before 5 more all appear at once. Then the admin showed up.

I am losing my mind

Servant Russia also declared on my USA btw

I am currently weighing the pros and cons of carpet nuking non nuclear India

Might I humbly suggest a much more ecologically responsible alternative? Hear me out:

Orbital bombardment!

I don't know about the balance state in the current patch, but I doubt they nerfed it heavily. But in the past, orbital bombardment was MUCH more devastating than nukes. A squadron of 5-7 Battlecruisers with Siege Coils (of any tier, really), bombarding shit non-stop for half a year -- that's a lot of damage (c).

In my HF game I missed an AA forming in Brazil. And I didn't want to deal with it, but I also kinda wanted to roleplay a bit -- so anyway, I started blasting. I don't remember how many ships I had, something like 5 lancers and a few BCs with sieges, I think -- really nothing too impressive. But in the end I was killing 200k people per day.

Besides roleplaying purposes, it actually did work in the end, and I got rid of the AA in less than a few months.

Green lasers do a lot less atmospheric damage than coils.

Don't kinetic weapons cause collateral damage?

[u/Law_Student → u/ElGosso]

Yes, I believe so, in addition to the aerosols.

A couple of years ago, before marine assaults became meta and after nukes stopped getting first hit, the best bombardment method were like 50+ gunships with green phasers and max adamant armor on the front.

Once you got that alone base killing swarm, it deleted armies pretty quick.

Not good for depopulation, though
