Miniaturized version here

The Hellhound is a liquid-fueled, optically guided missile with a 1000-lb warhead that can take down any target in the game, including ships, bridges, and missile bases.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

First, throttle up 100% to fuel the missiles. Next, initialise the first missile's guidance camera by selecting Camera 1. This will give you a missile's eye view with a crosshair. To launch, activate the corresponding activation group, i.e., AG1 for missile 1, AG2 for missile 2, and so on:

AG1, Camera 1: Missile 1
AG2, Camera 2: Missile 2
AG3, Camera 3: Missile 3
AG4, Camera 4: Missile 4

The Hellhound is very stable in flight on all three axes - pitch, yaw, and roll. Usually the missile can be guided to its target using just pitch and yaw adjustment.

    @daneshpalkhiwalla You know that you can do that yourself, right? Add a camera to each missile, set its massScale to zero and calculateDrag to false, and viewMode to Orbit.

    You know what you should do if you make it again, make it so that the missle can be viewed in third person

    @SledDriver ohh ok. Maybe you could do a larger X or + shaped crosshair and leave a gap in the very center so you can still see the target?

    @Potkuri @Shmexysmpilot They're big because the way I implement the custom crosshair requires a certain size. It's easy to make the missiles smaller, but then I'd have to think of other ways to do a crosshair or iron sight or something. I'll look into it.

    Awesome! Could you upload a version where they're scaled to like 3-4 blocks long though?
