"Convoy Killer" Guided Cluster Bomb
QUICK GUIDE:
AG1 + VTOL up to raise missile (Cam 1)
Throttle + AG2 to launch
AG3 to disperse bombs.
This comically large and absolutely devastating weapon was designed to take out an entire land or sea convoy with a single strike. Equipped with 17 total 500-lb bombs, the Convoy Killer disperses its massive arsenal above its target, creating a kill zone approximately the size of a small town. I'm not sure of top speed or exact range on the missile, but it cruises at Mach 1+ and can easily reach targets on the other islands. If the airports and bases were destructible, it could level any of them.
The Mobile Articulated Launch vehicle (MAL) is a powerful workhorse capable of crossing rough terrain, but it is extremely top heavy while carrying the missile, so go slowly. Generally, keep it under 60mph while carrying the missile, and don't make sudden turns. Use 100% throttle only for climbing steep slopes.
When a suitable launch site is found, stop the vehicle, then move the VTOL slider all the way up and use AG1 to lower the stabilizing feet while raising the missile into launch position. (Optional: AG8 turns off the car engines to save fuel or just keep the wheels from spinning) Increase the throttle to full and count to 5, then use AG2 to launch the missile. The missile flies like a (very heavy) plane, with the red trimmed stabilizer indicating "up".
The bombs disperse best if you gain altitude and attack your target from above. Once the bombs are dispersed, the remaining missile body deploys a drogue chute and slows down for visual confirmation of a successful strike, then crashes into the ground and detonates a final 500lb bomb.
Once the smoke has cleared, return the VTOL slider to neutral to stow the tower and stabilizers and drive to collect your bounty. In the event of a tip-over, the stabilizers can be used (gently) to right yourself.
Warnings & caveats:
- May cause large amounts of lag upon detonation of the bombs.
- Probably not mobile friendly
- Don't drive too fast or turn too hard, or you'll fall over and go boom.
- Make sure the missile is stable when deploying the bombs, or you'll go boom.
- May occasionally explode under hard maneuvering or high G load.
- The missile can be stowed again after it's been raised, but raising it the first time detaches it from the top of the cabin and is much less stable when driving.

Apparently AG3 causes the thing to explode in mid-air after launch, even with the engine turned off, what am I doing wrong?
@TheFantasticTyphoon thanks
@Mercedeth11
Put the left slider up.
I literally Always failed to launch Because I don't understand what is vtol up?
I like this not because it’s powerful but because you can actually control it unlike other Missiles
Wow I sank the big carrier and both destroyers with one missile
Yoo its so cool i exploded ess aicraft carrier that wow
the game broke when I exploded it.
It destroyed my game.
This is my favorite missile now!It's a great and very very cool weapon!I love it!
Cool, it works after you get hang of controlling the rocket and learn the dispersion pattern of the bombs.
FRIJOLES
Holy frijoles u can control it
Hey dude I might make a almost identical or just rebuild my plane around it
This is fantastic! It is also (somewhat) mobile friendly
Wow, superb, will have to try it out on my PC, though.
This is awesome, I like everything about it. Good work buddy.
@AgDynamics thanks
@MrDoolittle Unfortunately the game considers detached parts to be 'damaged' so detaching the missile from the truck causes you to fail the mission. The weapon itself can indeed take out the entire convoy, though the game doesn't count it.
Have you tested this against the convoy mission?
Can you make this with the B9K workshop addon?
yes say bye Isis! @Rohan
Let's use this on ISIS!
Omg it is so big I love it can you make me a boom 50 a boom 1000 ?
This is seriously cool! Wipes them out so well and the truck looks awesome!
