Structures be useless

Okay. Found the problem! As Lurch said it's the changes in missile drag that makes them behave derpy when fired in an arc. APN Guidance has to be set to a value between 2 and 3 and you should either ramp up thruster power or add additional ejectors to the pod to give the missiles some more speed to counter the drag. How much thruster power / ejectors or what APN Guidance gain exactly depends on what range you want to use them at. Note: The higher the APN Guidance gain the sharper will the missile turn. So lower value for long range, higher value for close range.

@Mordric: To what did u change the gain on the APN guidance? No matter what value i give them, the missles all behave differently. Some go straight into space, others just hit the ground and a few do behave like back in the days when this was released. Cant really find the sweet spot....

beautiful! i really like coastal defenses, and this blows me away! thank you

lol best anti missile instalation ever just replace the ir camera ahnd frag warheads with explosive warheads and the IR seeker with a missle intercepter lolz

ahhh found it you just remove the apn guidance on the rockets and you just put on a one turn

what do i need to change with the apn then?

This doesnt work for me they just shoot straight up in the air its not attacking the enemies

found the problem the *gain* on the missile APN guidance was messing it all up worked fine when i changed it also the card slot needs to be changed by 90 degrees or the algorithm cards wont be plugged in

everything but the rotation up and down works with the turret and the missiles only fly in a strait line into space

Hmm, it's possible that the changes to the missile drag have screwed with this build a little bit. :/

when i test the turret it just fires into the air not sure why works fine beside that

It's a custom LUA script written by Calen Loki.

How is this angle created ?

for some reason playing hellmarch music while having 6 archers attacking everything in sight is rly bad for heal

Oh is there a good set up to use these for fast AA

THIS IS SUPER GOOD AGAINST THE ONYX WATCH FOR SOME REASON. (sorry caps)

@DRGaff999 there is no dedicated helispinner on this blueprint. And the only thing connected to the pod LWC is a wireless reciever, and on the base LWC the mainframe.

i dont understand how you power the dedicated helispinner? also what is that block at the back connected to the LWC? sorry to be a bother but they look really helpful and im struggling

It's only a few blocks. Helispinner, an AI and LWC with a missile controller and laser designator. That's more or less it. :)

How do you make that little laser helicopter???

@lukas so I've been listening to hell march on repeat for about 4 hours while watching Red Alert videos... thanks bro :|

OMG, Hell march! It's been too long my old friend. One of the best pieces of music in video game history right there!

Guys I don't know how this happened but seeing your missile turret in action I got the idea of building a flying spike ball that dive bombs the enemy and rips and smashes them apart

This is awsome! I have made a as i like to call it a soviet playthrough and one of my defences is this!

Take 15 of these things and put them behind a cliff on a line.
Get a enemy lured there by a fast plane
Go to youtube and get Hell march playing!
Look upon the disintegration of the enemy with countless of missiles storming the enemies in a long Destructive arc of death
????
Profit

He is referring to the ballistic arc that the missiles follow. You can't pull off the same effect with LUA missiles without some flashy coding. LUA is indeed much more powerful, but this is more of an aesthetic build than an efficient one.

What are you talking about, remove the arc? LUA missiles, properly configured, are ridiculously good at targetting and tracking.
Are you sure you didn't mean spread?

7k natural, 10k metal, 2.5k scrap, 1k crystal. About 48k RP in all. It's fairly cheap, but very ammo hungry. :)

I'm actually going to use this when I start a new game.

Out of curiosity, how much materials does it take?

@My name is not important it doesn't use laser targetters, it uses IR, APN and a Camera. Lua would remove the arc'ing effect it produces making the whole build pointless

You could replace the laser targetters with LUA, maybe even add thumper warheads.

:)

TOTS subbing this looks sick

coooool
