MissileX - Missile Simulator MissileX is a powerful and immersive missile simulation app that lets you experience realistic missile launches and trajectory tracking on a dynamic 3D globe. Whether you're a military enthusiast, a simulation fan, or just curious about global missile behavior, MissileX offers a detailed and educational way to explore how missiles travel across the Earth in real time. With a focus on accuracy, interactivity, and visual appeal, MissileX allows you to launch missiles between any two points on the globe, simulating their real-time progress over a fixed duration. You can monitor missile positions, origin and destination coordinates, and time remaining until impact. Even if you close the app and return later, the simulation continues from where it should be, thanks to smart time tracking and state management. Key Features: Real-Time Missile Simulation: Watch missiles move smoothly across the globe from launch to impact based on real-world-like timing. You can simulate long-range missile paths that progress over hours, maintaining accuracy even if the app is closed or minimized. 3D Globe Visualization: The app features a stunning, interactive 3D globe that allows you to rotate, zoom, and view missile paths from any angle. See the curvature of the Earth and how missiles navigate the shortest paths using great-circle routes. Custom Launches: Set your own launch and target locations anywhere on the globe. Define the duration of the flight and watch the simulation play out with precise animation control. Resume on Restart: Missile animations pick up seamlessly after reopening the app, showing a short transition from the last known point to the current position. This feature ensures your simulation remains consistent even after long breaks. Missile History: View previously launched missiles, revisit their paths, and analyze their performance. This helps you compare simulations and learn from past launches. Multiple Missiles: Launch multiple missiles simultaneously and observe their trajectories side-by-side. Plan coordinated launches, simulate scenarios, or just enjoy the spectacle of global movement. Educational and Strategic Insight: Whether you're studying missile behavior, global distances, or want to visualize potential strategic simulations, MissileX provides the tools to learn and experiment. MissileX is designed to combine visual appeal with technical depth, offering an engaging experience for anyone interested in missile dynamics or global simulations. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to set up and manage simulations without prior experience. Download MissileX now and take control of global missile simulations like never before.

Radioactive is an immersive nuclear-warfare sandbox — not another static blast-radius calculator. Every strike is a living event you launch, fly, and watch play out on a real satellite map of Earth. REAL WEAPONS, REAL DELIVERY Choose from a catalog of real-world weapons with their accurate yields — from Little Boy to the 50-megaton Tsar Bomba — and deliver them the way they were actually fielded: silo-launched ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, ship-launched cruise missiles, or gravity bombs dropped from era-correct strategic bombers that fly the full sortie: ingress, release, loop-around, and return to base. REALISTIC FLIGHT, YOUR CLOCK Flights take realistic travel times — an intercontinental shot really takes half an hour. A universal simulation clock (Day 1, 11:36 AM…) runs the whole world, and you control it: watch in real time or fast-forward at up to 100×. Queue up an entire salvo and release it one strike at a time, or all at once. CASUALTIES THAT UNFOLD, NOT A PRELOADED NUMBER Built on a full offline population grid of the entire planet (8+ billion people), casualty tolls play out over simulated days, not as an instant statistic: the immediate blast, delayed trauma, firestorms, and radiation each take their toll on their own realistic timelines. The injured can succumb. The dead stay dead — strike the same city twice and the second blast finds only survivors. WEATHER-DRIVEN FALLOUT Groundbursts loft fallout that rides the wind — and the wind changes day to day. A plume that drifts north today can fan east tomorrow, painting realistic multi-day contamination footprints across the land. Airbursts maximize blast but leave little fallout, just like the real physics. Contaminated ground stays contaminated. INSPECT THE AFTERMATH Tap any city for a live census: pre-war population, killed, injured, the share of land rendered uninhabitable, and who's still alive. Track national tolls as percentages of each country's real population. Drill into every detonation for its full breakdown — death waves, injury types, and ongoing effects like firestorms and radiation exposure. BUILT NATIVE Pure SwiftUI and MapKit on a real 3D satellite globe. No accounts, no ads, no data collection — everything runs on your device, and your session persists exactly where you left it. All effects are approximations derived from public, declassified scaling-law physics (Glasstone & Dolan, 1977) and public population data. Radioactive is a simulation for entertainment and education — not a targeting or civil-defense tool.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radioactive at 5.0 against MissileX's 3.5. Radioactive also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). MissileX's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MissileX sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Radioactive asks for nothing beyond the download.
Radioactive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MissileX has 49 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
