Missile locks

[Saint]

Are the planes going to have a missile lock warning that goes off when a MAX starts unloading on you with missiles, and will evassive action make missiles miss?

[Hamma]

I dont know if it sounds a warning :(

Usually it's hard to dodge homing missles since they are what lock on to the target but, it might be possible to evade them.

[Navaron]

They still haven't told us shit about the TOW missiles. Not that that has anything to do with this thread.

If you get hit with a misle, go evasive. With the exception of a decimator vrs a skeeter i dont think any missles should be one shot to shoot down a plane, so you have time to start evading once the first one hits you. Squads with punishers and rocket load outs might present an interesting problem for low flying galaxys.


On an off note i dont think you here a sound when a missle aquires lock, by one of the Hot Vanu Babes said she always dettected a slight odor of rose's before a missle hit.

one thing that bugged me about missles in games is that you couldnt shoot em out of the sky ,im pretty skilled when it comes to FPS ,but I like saving weapons slots for weapons not flares ,so im wundering if you'll be able to shoot down the missles ,it would b really sweet :D

[Tobias]

most missles penatrate armor or the walls of a structure to kill the things behind said armor or walls, and thus have tough warheads, your bullet might throw off its course, and make it miss if its not guided/TOW, but will proably not destroy it.

[ABRAXAAS]

that may be so but im not talking about throwing a concrete wall at the missle ,im talking about armour piercing rounds traveling at
2 to 3 thousand fps having the combined greater impact pressure
greater than anything a concrete wall can provide ;)

[Tobias]

Still most warheads dont detonate if shot, they might stop or even blow up if you hit the engine of the rocket the warhead is on though.

[ABRAXAAS]

if at verey least it should dissable the lock on throwing off the guidence sending into a crazy spiral or random death:D

[Tobias]

Unless the missle was TOW.


Be right back.

[ABRAXAAS]

even then and deffinatley then the vision should become scrambled like a tv when it looses reception ,that would be sweeeeet:D

[Tobias]

Well, uh, we Vanu have lasers, shot that down!



I win.

[ABRAXAAS]

Oh and the plasma type missle things of the vanu would be easy to take down do to the reflectivity of the armour piersing rounds it would scatter the magnetic field of the missle splattering or deflecting it in every wich way ;)

[SleightOfHand]

Lancer=Instant hit laser as far as we know.

[Tobias]

Not insta, but quite fast.

[Jester]

need some sexy screeching sirens so that the occupants of the galaxy are scared off their tits and have to watch in slow motion as a missle arcs towards them that they can do nothing about.
