(WEAPONS DLC) L240 Air Guardian APN Radar Guided Missile

Description
L240 Air Guardian

Please read the description in order to have the most success with this missile

The L240 Air Guardian is a fully self contained APN anti air / anti ground missile. It is fire and forget which means that it does not require any external input after it is fired.


What exactly does "APN" mean?
APN is a missile guidance law that stands for Augmented Proportional Navigation. This means that the missile will lead any moving target in the direction that it is moving in order to get a direct hit.


Usage guide:
Once the missile detaches from the magnets it will fire its rockets and begin searching for a target, once it finds a target it will go for it. The missile should be aimed slightly above the target for better chances of locking on and getting a hit. Any targets must be visible for the radar to get a lock.



Missile Info:
- 3x4 single microcontroller for the whole missile
- Max speed fast
- Range: ???? 4 km maybe
- Dimensions: 3 blocks wide, 3 blocks high and 25 blocks long (length can be reduced with some tweaking)
- 4 block mounting with 2 electrical connectors at either end.
- APN Guidance
- Adjustable lead/sensitivity
- Underwater launch capable
- Air launch capable

Would you like to use this missile into your own builds?
If you decide to use or modify any part of this missile in your own builds, you are welcome to do so, however the only thing I ask is that you link to the missile in the description. You dont need to ask me in order to post your builds to the workshop.
Reminder: Do not reupload the missile itself or if it is very slightly modified (eg. new paint job).

Known Issues:
Due to the nature of radars in this game, it is possible for a target to be quite close and not be visible on radars. I cannot fix this as this is a limitation of radars in the game. In order to see if your target is visible from radar I have included a radar HUD which will show any targets it sees.

Special Thanks To:
Sinister Minister for: Writing a function which is needed for this to even be possible, and helping me fix/troubleshoot the missile.
EGG for: Helping me troubleshoot and tips on building the missile.
Kubson for: Writing the final APN code and helping me troubleshoot.
Without the help of these people and everyone else in the radar and guidance discord this project would have never been possible.

Questions, Comments, Thoughts?:
Leave a comment if you have any feedback for me. I will do my best to read them and reply to any questions you may have.

It might be broken, I haven't experimented with it in a while. Anyways there are already much better missiles out there, I suggest you look at some of those :)

this is a mod? thought it was a workshop item
G-Lew 10 Jun, 2023 @ 11:50pm 
does this mod still work? every time my friend locks on to me it just flies past. do you have to set the range specifically for close targets?

thanks man! I want to make these work in a VLS system for my hidden cargo
Arthur  [author] 27 Dec, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
Not sure, they should be able to
ibuildblasters 27 Dec, 2022 @ 5:19pm 
can these be reloaded, as in slotted in by a crane or other reloading system?

Ok i’ll try that

You need to turn off infinite electric. I just tested it and they dont blow up

The missile keeps exploding when i walk past it, even though i haven't launched it yet.
