Description
L50 Warrior

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



The L50 Warrior is a fully self contained APN missile. It's main purpose is to be a compact missile to be fitted on helicopters and small vehicles, and works best against ground targets but it can also work on air targets. 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 BELOW 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 when launched from ground: 165m/s
- Range: 800M powered however it can glide up to 2KM (range greatly increased when fired from moving vehicle)
- Dimensions: 3 blocks wide, 3 blocks high and 15 blocks long (10 blocks shorter than the L240)
- 2 block compact mounting system
- APN Guidance
- Adjustable lead/sensitivity
- Underwater launch capable
- Air launch capable
- Roll stabilization

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.
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. The missile can also start to oscillate when fired from a really fast moving vehicle, the solution to that is to slow down.

Special Thanks To:
Sinister Minister, EGG and Kubson for helping me work on the microcontroller for the missile.

is the only downgrade from that other apn range and speed?

It could be tracking sharks/megalodons in the water, try turning them off in the weather settings menu. They might not be working properly on your boat due to too much rocket power. Try playing around with the power on the srb motors to see if that may fix the problem.

I've also tried using a target to get radar guidance but it dunks into the water and hits the bottom instead of tracking

I've tried launching these from a ship, but they do a large spiral and dunk into and out of the ocean instead of going relatively straight. All I did was modify the launcher to fit on my boat. Any idea what I did wrong?

The new update messed up the missile flight characteristics, and I noticed that after I tried to fix it the missile wouldn't hit as much. Im not sure whats causing this but with some luck the missiles will still work.

The missiles dont use the display for anything, they are completely independent from it. I only put the display there so it is easier to see distant radar targets, and thats it.

I am having strange issues with targeting on my planes. (there were none before the major update) Targeting on th HUD is misplaced off the target. I can't tell when to shoot. Sometimes missiles don't lock on even if the target is locked on the HUD. I can send you screenshots if you need more info. P.S I have simply copy n' pasted your rockets and systems on my plane, all connections stayed the same exept the video and composite ones.
