Apparently there were mods that could boost it to 340KT - however, that's still a long, long way short of 10MT.
Protect & Survive Miami: End of Watch
- Thread starter wolverinethad
- Start date
So, yes, it did, and then @Chipperback repeated that in his T/L....I wrote it as 100 kt, then went back and saw the 10MT. I know it's wrong, but I don't know how to handle this situation. I want to fix it, y'know, but two authors both wrote it. If the consensus of the "old-timers" is to fix it, I'll gladly revert back to my original writing.
They're going to wish they hadn't ejected.
wolverinethad, as of right now, Jan and his group have about, oh, a 5-hour window to flee Miami; hope they make it out in time. Can't wait to see more...
Oh, and one more thing...
This GIF has been cracking me up for years.
I'd say revise it, but the high end of revision (150-300 KT sounds like enough to get attention and a reprisal shot from the Soviets). Your instinct looks sound.
It's a shame that I can't get in touch with Jack to check on why he wrote 10Mt. He hasn't responded to messages I've sent for a while. 
Another lurker just wanting to compliment you on this work. Really terrifying. I was 13 in Tampa at the time of this. I look forward to more!

Jack later changed that
Jack sent me this a few years ago to clear up the Kassel raid
And wolverine has inspired me. To look at returning to Flatwater —
Perhaps as a Christmas gift

Also, I must own up to having fucked up a little when I mentioned a 10MT device at Kassel in the main thread; what I actually meant was 10KT, though by the time my mistake had been pointed out it was too late for me to edit. Someone up-thread suggested the mistake could have been made by an anxious young radioman under pressure, and to be fair they weren't that wrong...

I think I've made this point before, but reading this flavor of P&S (and rereading some of the greatest hits of the original class) makes me wish I had found this place way sooner than I did because I would love to have been a part of it. I don't have a lot of subject-matter expertise in world history or military strategy or anything, but I could have made up for it with ... I guess relatively palatable writing? I dunno.
But yeah, great stuff as always. I've seen this world blow up 10 times already. Who else is ready for 11?

12.
(ahem)
Why not give it a go, @Cyniclone ? There's plenty of room in this universe for contributors.
From what I can recall of the main narrative, Australia would be relatively untouched, so no call for Mad Max, especially in a time frame when we still had significant refineries.
There appear to have been a couple of attempts.
The Lucky Country is the longer of the two and made it to Sept. 1984 but it hasn't been updated in more than three years and the author was banned.
A Land of Black and Red Scars was the first go, but it didn't last long, alas.
