Yes... Multiple Indepentantly targetable Reentry Vehicles.... My father-in-law.. god rest his soul... was a MP gaurding a huge missle base in the Dakota's.. never told me where it was or the name of it.... and also missile bases out in California... He said that was back in the 50's where the first ICBM's were station at...
I actually did research on this... egads at one time California had almost HALF of all ICBM's on the West Coast in the 50's... not to mention a metric butt ton of B-52's....
What a powder keg to grow up around...

And the general puplic prolly didn't even know...

correct.
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/NC/mirv/mirv.html
so tell me, what's the mechanichs of the MIRV bomb in the game? is it like a cluster nuke, or it is just one big nuke? if it's a cluster nuke, then why does it only affect one location, and not a slightly larger area?
so now, one of the guys who got it right,(or all, doesn't matter) can pick another little thing that's in the game, and in real life too, like in the fashion that i did.

Its one bomb, launched at an area of ground causing mass destruction to everything.

Not exactly sure how the MIRV bomb is perceived in-game but i do know that if a MIRV bomb is dropped on a specific diamond, and it explodes, it will do damage to, albiet a small percentage of the total damage potential, to all diamonds that surround the target diamond...
This has been my observations at least...
