Sure, they were overloaded by their super-senses, but, again, Zod shook that off because the script said so.
And I do believe Superman would have led them away from Smallville and Metropolis, BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE THEY WERE AFTER! Blast 'em with some heat vision to lure them away. But no, we have to see shit blow up because they had $225 million to spend. And, as I keep mentioning, Superman contributes to the destruction, and clearly gives no fucks.
And Kryptonian air is the kryptonite replacement? Really? Air? And, he couldn't hold his breath to take out the doomsday machine?
Just like Nolan's Batman, this Superman isn't not all bright and charges head-first into an ass-whoopin'.

They not once said the suits protected against the radiation, only the air. They shook off the issues with the powers because they were bred to be warriors, to adapt quickly to their situation. They KNEW they were going to have the strength from the start as Jor-El made clear at the beginning of the movie (which...this is something I disagree with, how the hell would he have known that yellow star = SUPER POWERS!)
And I know who Nam is....Kinda wished he had a larger role, always liked that big mute.
As for the destruction: What's one city when the entire world is at stake? Gotta look at the larger picture.
