Submerged launch & Independent targeting

Why does it only ever target the units not the cities?

OMG SOMEONE FINALLY ADDED INDEPENDENT TARGETING!!!!!!!!! TT TY TY TY TY TY

TY!!

@StalkerJames Thanks, subscribed

@PanJan I doubt it, since both functions exist in Game 1. However, the devs do listen to the community, so you should ask them to add it as an in-game option. In the meantime, I've uploaded an 85% SplitPath version that limits the spread of MIRVs.

Or maybe, since those properties already exist, the devs are planning on integrating them in the future...

@StalkerJames Yeah, the spread is very large now, would be nice to tone it down a little. I guess adding a button to toggle the independent targeting or different split path percent values would be way too much work? Maybe limit sub-water launch to tier III and higher SLBNs for example?

@gmhs2 There is no easy way to do it. SubwaterLaunch and IndependentTargeting are innate properties of missiles that cannot be changed through research. I would have to create identical copies of existing MIRV missiles with the SubwaterLaunch capability. This would end up doubling the number of missiles in the missile selection screen, making it impractical.
As for IndependentTargeting, I could add an extra stage to each MIRV missile so that it spawns MIRVs with IndependentTargeting once the required tech is researched. I’m not sure if it would work, and the process is quite tedious. I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort.

@PanJan Maybe, I could try using SplitPathPercent or limiting the range of MIRV warheads so they only target units in the vicinity of the main target. It needs some testing to see the results."

Not sure if it's possible, but it'd be nice to have a version that only unlocked these with later research, so early SSBNs and MIRVs are still more limited.
