I accidentally made a 1kt device, but it's pretty cool, right?
It's expected to 'fly' head-first through atmosphere, which is particularly pertinent with the low terminal velocity on Titan, since just before reaching the desired airburst height the engines could offer downward thrust using any leftover propellant to traverse the final stretch of potential defences. Only problem is I can't lay everything out the way I need for it to stay oriented correctly during entry. The centre of mass (which needs to be as far forward as possible for stability) is heavily influenced by the placement of the nuke and I'd like to put it just behind the shield in the middle of six tanks, but the game doesn't support that.
I'm not done; the full entry will come later.
