Hailstorm Rocket Turret

Description



The Hailstorm Turret

The Hailstorm Turret is a vanilla-based missile turret with a high rate of fire. It's balanced against the vanilla Rocket Turret, and its niche is to fire a greater number of smaller, faster, and more accurate missiles in order to overwhelm enemy defenses and provide a fantastic countermeasure against drones.

The theoretical DPS of the Hailstorm Turret is 80% of the Rocket Turret, assuming each turret can land all of their shots. In reality, the speedier and more accurate Hailstorm Rockets will deal more damage against fast-moving targets like fighters and drones, and worse damage against large, slow-moving ships where their accuracy becomes less relevant.

This mod is ready for use in survival. It contains build stages and all LODs. balanced material costs, and has been certified as fun to use by my friends.

* Explosive damage isn't straightforward. The 500 damage of a vanilla Rocket is actually more like 3900 damage when it hits a component such as a large hydrogen tank. In that test, a Hailstorm Rocket deals about 2400 damage per shot. In this situation, the vanilla Rocket Turret deals about 20% more dps than an Artillery Turret, and the Hailstorm Turret deals about equivalent dps to an Artillery Turret.

You telling me this isn't a mod? Looks like its a vanilla turret.

Awesome Turret. Would ne awesome to have a fixed small grid version just like the regular vanilla rocket launcher.

Have you looked at adding compatibility with Vanilla+ Framework?

Oh, thanks for trying it. That's exactly the result I'd expect, since the weapon definitions are edited manually.

I found out that they are unaffected

Do your weapon mods work with the Extended Vanilla Combat mod? This one right here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2937084717
