Oddly you are in error. Four 250 kiloton weapons properly targeted will do far more damage that one 1 megaton weapon. It all has to do with the area of a circle and distance.

I know about that, as that is the principle behind the MIRV delivery system, but many people didnt get the circular pattern kills benefits it gives.

But nevertheless the latest versions are a pitiful 60KT vs the 340KT, and that's my ire.
