Backspace "armor" ...

Love these nuke mods. I'm currently using the one that blows up 20 tiles and uses the high explosive sprite.

One logic problem to me seemed to be why can a backpack nuke completely destroy a landed battleship when ajax missiles are supposed to be nukes also and hardly do anything when shooting UFOs down?

The idea that they're nukes at all is kind of silly. XCOM is supposed to be a secret organization, and yet from day one of the invasion they have fighter jets which can fire a half dozen nuclear warheads above populated cities?

That aside, we can just say that the enemy UFOs have shields. The nuclear explosions get stopped by the shield, but it overtaxes the generators and causes the ship to crash. One the ground, the shields aren't working so the much weaker handheld weapons are able to damage it.

You can imagine there are energy shields, or alien counter-measures which can shoot incoming missiles moments before impact.

Well, thanks guys! All fixed now. Can be downloaded in the mod section!
Enjoy the carnage!

In original game the descriptions weren't displayed. So, maybe they came to conclusion that they are silly and don't reflect what happens in the battlescape. Something which wasn't changed with multiple versions and from what I saw on different platforms:
