AD-1 "D-Fence" Guided Weapons System

34.1k AgDynamics  8.7 years ago

VTOL up, throttle full, and make sure you're on the bomb cameras.

1-7 launch pilotable drones, each with an embedded 500lb bomb which can be triggered remotely by firing the guns. This weapon can function as both anti-aircraft and anti-ship.

The bombs have a pretty huge blast radius (a single explosion between a carrier and a destroyer will sink both) and the drones are highly maneuverable. The drones are untargetable by AI, but the base station is still vulnerable - I expect I'll be putting this on a vehicle once we get the wheels update.

This weapon has enough firepower to take out the entire carrier group, the USS tiny, and 4 additional air targets.
