Anti homing missile active protection system (Space Engineers)

This is a automatic anti homing missile system i built using a custom turret controller that detects incoming missiles and launches decoy rockets automatically.

Ty is a one man arms race and I am so here for it.

[@kmx5992]

Definitely integrating this in my mbt design

[@kmx5992]

I just made my own alpha design on my channel. If you're curious!

[@danny73910]

I love it when I get a new idea, then first search it to see if someone thought of it already. Satisfying to see a perfect creation, exactly what I had in mind and you did the work already

[@ogre7699]

It's like he has arms. I love him.

[@tyseng97]

Damn thought the cope cage was the defence

[@Black-Phoenix]

This is a very cool why to do active protection systems in SP

[@allluck6178]

That is a god damn big atgm well done!!

[@Raptorias]

badass. i want to see the video about those ATGM station

[@MBkufel]

That's a nice ATGM design

[@killerzone123456]

good idea but wont work against certain scripts and wont work at all with the use of Weapon core mod or scripts that use Weapon core in full vanilla this works great

[@Trilliaxe]

Incroyable

[@nugget0428]

Cant wait to see the shit you come up with using these new blocks, your atgm has been a staple in my base defenses 🤣

[@little_lord_tam]

I have something very simmilar on my fighter. It distracts drones and turrets long enough to make a fatal attack run or destroy enemie drones depending on the set up. I find it most effective on the offence tbh. As a defensive weapon it doesnt guarantee distraction for some reason I havent figured out yet

[@CrystallineFoxCF]

decoys have to be powered to distract stuff unpowered decoys are set as the lowest priority, powered as one of the highest

[@little_lord_tam]

@@CrystallineFoxCF I know. Hence a event controller activates the decoy on launch

[@CrystallineFoxCF]

@@little_lord_tam Huh, that's strange, I wonder if it's because the grids separate too early or the decoys aren't exposed enough before you drop/launch them

[@little_lord_tam]

@@CrystallineFoxCF It kinda works, but its just not that reliable when I tested. Anyways, for defence purposes I found a better solution

[@hhhhhhh1757]

Do you think the future of grid ai will make it so we can build smaller guided missiles/ better refine your APS (and make it smaller)

[@Tyrenol]

Yeah i think grid AI will open a whole new world of possibilities. Im also very excited for the eventblock.

[@jakethesnake2655]

You need to show splitsy how to make a rocket.

[@Tyrenol]

I can make a tutorial on how to build the missile if people are interested

[@randomdudeplayingrandomthings]

​@@Tyrenolyeah I would be very interested I just subscribed so if you do upload it I'll see it cause of how small it is. That Nad it also a javelin so good for the sims as well

[@Wholy]

amazing tank bro, it has very low profile, but how can you spawn the wheels in survival?

[@Tyrenol]

Thanks! To spawn the wheels you need to change the height offset and remove a couple armor blocks

[@-Benito_Swagolini-]

2 questions. When in combat do you have to turn off the APS (active protection system) so they don’t miss fire and what is the range the missile has to be before the APS fires off

[@Tyrenol]

The APS does need to be turned off if you dont want it to fire in combat. But most of the time you actually want to fire it when in combat because it can also distract enemy turrets. The APS range setting can be adjusted depending on your movement speed. If you are going fast it needs to be on 500m, if you are going a normal speed 400m, and when standing still/defending 300m

[@ninjajagyr]

lol tank chaff

[@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus3976]

Just make a APS system on top of that tank

[@StarWarsExpert_]

How does this anti missile differentiate a small grid vehicle from a missile that has been launched?

[@Tyrenol]

It doesnt differentiate between vehicles and missiles, but most of the time it will work in your advantage to have automatic decoys launch when in range of enemy turrets

[@StarWarsExpert_]

@@Tyrenol Thanks for the response. I see your point.

[@StarWarsExpert_]

@@Tyrenol Thank you for your response, I see your point. Subsequently, can you tell me how you detect that a turret is in range and then tell the missile to start itself? I guess the later is done via an event controller. Do you have a workshop link?

[@Tyrenol]

@@StarWarsExpert_ I just used timers and a custom turret block, here is the link steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936435000

[@gariksnow5174]

Share the name of the rocket and tank

[@pl0x278]

does this also work as a countermeasure for jets :o

[@Tyrenol]

Yeah it does, i have a version thats attached to one of my fighter designs.

[@dogepotato]

Is this on mod io?

[@fruhn4522]

where can i get this tank

[@Tyrenol]

I uploaded it for you: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936435000
