How in Cthulhu do I possibly beat this?

This one stack of railgun has killed 1,326 units across the game.

I know the player these belong to might see this and sniff out my desperation. But it's day 250+ of an 8x match, and I'm pretty much the last player around to fight this giant coalition of China and India that doesn't want to end the game but still keeps attacking me (even though if it wasn't for me, insurgencies would have won). There are two other large players but they are in a sort of non-aggression pact with this coalition and one of them is also attacking me.

I have max level cruise missiles with conventional, chemical and nuclear warheads, and the ability to launch them from air force, but when when I first spied this unit creeping around, it was in a terrain where it was weaker, so I prepared a large missile barrage to brute force through its missile defence planned around it having 45 attack against missiles. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as the unit had moved to a terrain where it didn't have a debut in effect, and not one missile got through.

The player also has stealth fighters that attack my air force whenever I try to attack this unit while staying out of its range, so I couldn't just loiter around waiting for the missiles to reload.

Does anyone have any ideas?

HE or SAP for destroyer v destroyer engagements.

I'm relatively new to the game, so there's probably an obvious answer to this. I know the in game hints that pop up when you're waiting for the matchmaking say to use SAP against heavy cruisers, but generally if I see anything more powerful than a 5.0 light cruiser in my little destroyer, I give it a wide berth, or maybe fire HE at the superstructure.

I'm playing the UK, so compared to the highest tier destroyers of the USA, USSR and Japan, I feel like the 4 inch and 4.7 inch are fairly low velocity, and to destroyers of the three countries above, I find myself often looking at the death screen and seeing I died to some form of SAP, especially in situations where I was one hit ammo-detted.

Is there not really any advantage to using SAP against destroyers, or does it depend on range and country?

Am I giving SLS excessive praise, or has it silenced the NASA skeptics.

First up, I really like the SLS rocket, I think it looks better and represents NASA better than Starship or New Glenn ever could. Back to reality though, I understand it has some major limitations and has gone both over budget and been behind schedule. However, SLS has now had two successful crewed launches, including one that delivered humans the farthest we have ever been from our home world.

I remember a few years ago, there was this big, annoying wave of videos online with about 90K views each and some clipart thumbnail saying SLS was the dumbest decision the US government had ever made because ELON DOES IT BETTER, or something.

In 2026 however, SLS is not the thing that's holding up Artemis. NASA and Congress trusted the fiery new private space corporations to build a moon lander in time, and they haven't. SLS was built with old shuttle parts and a dream that NASA could do crewed spaceflight again, and now it's not the one blowing up. (no offence to some hard days for people at BO and SpaceX)

Does that mean NASA doesn't need Space and Blue Origin? Absolutely not. Does that mean Artemis IV really will land on the moon in 2028? Maybe not. But what it does mean, is that NASA can still have the pride that, seemingly for the first time in a while, it's the one waiting for SpaceX and Blue Origin to catch up.
