Little Nuke Big Nuke! video - CNC Fallout Mod for C&C3: Tiberium Wars

Only for nukes.

In creating a nuke, I wanted to get it as close as possible to how a real nuke works. Most games/mods do their nukes in a cliched/underdone way.

A (real life) nuke does most of its damage in three stages:

1. Heat
2. Blast/Shockwave
3. Fallout dust (irratiated dust/dirt sucked up from the earth and lifted into the atmosphere before falling back to earth)

Of these, it is stage 2 that does the most damage. Exactly as I have replicated in game. I aimed to have a shockwave that literally looks like it is ripping buildings apart.

while it is superb without question i'd say the cloud could look a bit more like a mushroom and less like a T

Easier said than done - especially with an effect of this magnitude. A lot of detail is faked - too many particles and all but the high end systems will come to a screeching halt.

OrangeNero, shape of cloud depends on some factors and if you look on "nuke" pictures, you will see "T" clouds too. If you type "nuke" to google images, the second picture is with "T" cloud and it seems more dangerous to me than mushrooms, mushrooms seems to be somehow smaller. Maybe I am wrong, but I'd say that when hot gas reaches certain height (with different air temperature, much more cold than gas from explosion), it creates barrier between these two mediums and gas starts to grow just to width. My opinion, but quite logic.

See "Tsar Bomb" Biggest nuke in history annnnd its a T-cloud.

It does. That is the whole point of the neutron bomb - the explosion itself is small and the fallout lasts 3 times as long as a regular nuke. The sound doesn't hang around forever but the fallout does.
