GLA Terror Missile Site

To fill in the gap in his defenses made by the Terror Cannon, the Terror Missile Site has been created for the Demo General:



Firing salvaged SA-4 rockets purchased off of the Black Market, the Terror Missile Site can 1-hit-kill almost any aircraft in the game. However, these missiles take a long time to reload when compared to other defenses. But the range and pure power of these rockets more than makes up for it in the end.

This is a weird conglomeration of ideas that I'm not 100% satisfied with, but turned out okay in the end. The turret with the large radar dome was based off of the SA-11 Gadfly, the missile is an SA-4 Ganef, and the fortifications were salvaged from a Stinger Site, with added barbed wire and tank traps. The launch rack is split in the middle to keep the SA-4 missile's bottom fin from intersecting with anything.

I used the ZSU-57 texture from The_Hunter again for this model.

In true GLA fashion, you've cobbled together bits from other things in the GLA arsenal to create a truly wonderful weapon. I do like that you're paying homage to Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Love the Bomb and Major Kong with the Terrorist waving a cowboy hat. For that I salute you.

Imagine if this could hit a TeroGlide.

Nooooo, I FAJL-ed. Fixed it though. And now I have some screenshots of this defense in action.

Firing:



Terror Missiles can travel a long way to chase down a target. Trails look better in-game:



Rather large explosion. You can see the hats that also fly off:

thats just awesome

[Destiny]

I really, really pity the Raptor. This is epic, Jordan! The missile's exhaust could be changed, perhaps?









"Do a barrel roll!"

...you knew it was coming

[Pav:3d]

Btw the front missile fins clip the missile rack, probably too little to notice in-game, but a 5 second fix

[Sgt. Nuker]

Just when your opponent thinks they've outran the missile, it kills their plane near their base. The plane that may have killed its target will not live to strike again. Talk about a bite in the behind.

[Jordan]

Sometimes it can get a little crazy. When a plane gets shot down, the missile will chase it as it is falling down and explode, damaging ground units.

If the plane hits the ground beforehand, the missile just disappears.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Then this weapon lives up to the mod's name perfectly.

It'll be epic funny to see the Terrorist standing on the spot where the missile vanished

woohoo this one rox! and is it a hat in their hand? whats its firing range? because if that one would be large, it would be a little OP when u shoot down chinooks in ur enemies base

[Jordan]

It's firing range is the same as a patriot missile vs. air, but the missiles have a lot of fuel in them, so they can chase units across the map.

[Su8perkillr]

well... patriots do taht to, but whatever, its fun!

That, or give it a large damage radius to take out more than one at a time

Nope, Patriot missiles tend to finish on the ground as they run out of fuel too quickly to chase a plane which is rather away from the battery.

[Jordan]

The missile does area-of-effect damage, so it can kill two raptors at once if it gets the chance.

And these missiles chased down that Raptor across my entire test map.

[Su8perkillr]

i thought patriots just kept on flying in zero hour

[Jordan]

No, they run out of fuel after three seconds, and crash on the ground.

[Sgt. Nuker]

If I remember right, your test map is quite large, is it not Jordan? Something tells me it's about as long as Death Valley, or perhaps a bit longer.

[Brad]

Epic base defence right therem I can't wait to have a go at this online !

[Dutchygamer]

I love it
