Has anyone got nukes blowing ups enemies ships from inside?
I imagine that it would be absolutely devastating attack if a nuclear payload could penetrate targets armor and detonate from inside the ship, but I can't manage do get it working, no matter how I try. I experimented with quite low relative speeds (~1km/s), pathetic target armor (0.1 mm graphite aerogel) and very heavily armored tiny nukes to minimize damage to my payloads, bet they don't seem to ever survive the armor penetration.
This should work as we have IRL nuclear bunker busters with nuclear warheads that penetrate many meters of rock and concrete before detonation. Have you been successful?

Look in the capital ship armor thread. Several us us have made great progress at nuclear explosive forced penetrators, but it seems the actual warhead itself penetrating the hull is a hard coded no-go.
