Self-Propelled Artillery


Recommended Posts

You desire more range from your ballistic missiles? I do have a 11.7 metric tonne launcher (about 2 tonnes more than yours) that I have modified from a manned variant that should satisfy your needs. It is more than capable of putting your warhead into orbit.

Very nice :D

I'll take a look at it. I was shying away from using a larger liquid fuelled stage, but it would give it a much greater range. The Magnus is currently too long to fit in my launcher though, and I'm already pushing the limits of what I can consistently put into a erector launcher. Making a taller missile would make it more liable to toppling when it's being erected.

After a few short minutes of rapid design modifications, a newer, shorter, lighter missile was engineered. The MAGNUS 1B is 9.6 metric tonnes (Almost the same as your original rocket!), has the same COG as your original rocket, is shorter than your original design, and can still deliver your warhead into orbit. All you have to do is replace your missile with the MAGNUS 1B and it should yield the same results while erecting the launch vehicle. Every Kerbal working on engineering the MAGNUS 1B has received a 5% salary raise, as well as a complementary bag of cookies for their extraordinary efforts.

I am glad to introduce our new product, the MAV 21 codename "Sobek" !

It is a mobile artillery launcher with a fire-and-forget system. The truck comes with lighting for night launches, as well as a "Firing stance".

The missile consists in a stage of solid propulsion which burns up to 11 kilometers. After the burn is complete, the war head separates and, after a parabollic trajectory, lands at

a maximum range of 40 kilometers.

Features :

-Automated Trajectory Guidance system

-RCS Steering

-Ground - Sea capabilities

-Strategic obje

Embarks :

- Conventional HE warhead W-C1

- Electromagnetic Disabler warhead W-E1
