Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

So I am curious... What are the benefits to looking glass planes and underground bunkers? I've not been able to blow up a bunker and the common thought it launch the doomsday planes first. Is there a way to see what you destroyed on the ground? I figure firing submarines first is the next good idea. To try to take out the command post or ICBMS/air defense. Third ICBMS for air defense. Then bombers go, then finally fire cruise missiles at the population centers. But again, the advantage from command posts, or else say the heck with it, forget doomsday planes/bunkers and just buy more bombers to inflict more suffering?!
