Removed entirely. IMO they are useless for simplay and may be mainly used for pushing logbook stats up => cheating
Sometimes it’s just “fun” to fly a nuclear strike to change the overall suspense of it all, and TE’s don’t have any impact on logbook. The benefit of a sim is you can take whatever scenario you can come up with, and make it. That includes a mission where upper command sees no other option than nuking the enemy back to the stone age.
Also, in some cases, I’ve used nukes to destroy a wide area in preparation for a TE. (e.g. creating a No Man’s Land between 2 fighting forces in a stand-still) Using a nuke is a lot quicker than bombing all targets separately, or spending hours in MC to do it manually.
