@antarex4017 Most likely, but with almost a 4-minute cooldown, personally I don't think it's worth it, since Gunships are relatively easy to deal with, and with whatever resistance at the base of it also being not too bad. I think it'll be much more useful for hard-to-reach places like Spore Spewers and the aforementioned Jammer Towers

Super Earth be like: nono automatic hellbomb deployment is too expensive. We gotta make it manual. Also Super Earth: hey here's this tiny ICBM emplacement which probably will cost much more than just shooting it out the super destroyer. Fun = Democracy

[@Mystyx-Sama]

@ Honestly? No, not really. It’s nice I guess, but it’s so impractical and unnecessary. It feels like it’s there “just cause”, not because we actually need it, or cause it’s “fun”. The hellpod literally isn’t needed for this step, and it shows. At least with the other stratagems we’re telling them where to shoot, and they just do it. This adds a middle-man for no apparent reason. Is it nice to get new stuff? Yah sure. Will it be fun? I doubt it, but I naturally hope so…

[@matthewrosado1936]

​@@Mystyx-Samaits fun and that's all that matters, it's a 600KG missle meaning u can hold 3 500kgs essentially and have one with a guided precision strike

[@bonehed1]

@@Mystyx-Sama There could be quite a few uses for this. It seems faster to fire once you've set it up than having an artillery shell come in from orbit, it's potentially more precise if the missile is controllable mid-flight by moving the laser, and if it can blow up buildings, then you can probably use it to take out a stratagem jammer. Just to name a few.

[@SkyNinja759]

They should give it multiple charges, or a cluster bomb like charge similar to the target designator from Halo: Reach. Anything that warrants taking it over a 500kg, only reason I see is being able to nuke within AA or scrambler side objectives. I'd love to see a "spotter" class that has one of these missile silos, wears a radio backpack, and calls in artillery support somehow.

[@MarcusDarkstar]

probably why it hasnt been released due to similiarities to the usage of the 500kg. Maybe you could fudge with the cooldown rate but meh..

[@drippiari7709]

1:43 that went pretty well as planned !! 😂

[@KlyosXA]

Kinda wish it will have 2 or 3 uses per call in. There's room in there.

lol no. Not when retracted and even if so the exhaust would be a problem for the pod with additional munitions in it.

[@ryang3225]

@@MarcusDarkstarI know we’re shooting for realism in this game but I don’t think we need to go that in depth, space travel is real in this game, I’m sure there could be an excuse to why it could shoot more than one rocket.

[@12LoLproductions]

Detector Towers hate this one weird trick

[@TheTattorack]

Hmm... I'm having difficulties seeing the point of this. - It acts somewhat like a precision strike. - You don't have to stand close to throw it, unlike a precision strike. - It's only effective against mostly stationary targets. - It takes up a support weapon slot. - There is only one round. I'm just thinking... Why would I take this over a recoiless rifle? The recoiless can one-shot a lot of the kind of targets this missile silo can, at a safe distance like the missile silo can, and you have more than one round.

[@technologicalwaste7612]

Jammers on suicide watch.

[@TheHarrisontemple]

Bro you can't just go into my dreams and bring out a stratagem you found, in all seriousness this is something i have wanted for a while

[@lykonic1763]

Maybe I'm going against the spirit of our beloved stratagem ball, but I think that a laser designator as a weapon (whether support or even secondary) would be pretty damn cool. Like, when you're holding it, instead of punching in a stratagem code into a ball, you type it into the designator, and then wherever you fire it, it drops that stratagem there. I think it would be a fair enough thing. Either you drop a stratagem slot to take it, or lose out on your backup weapon, and in exchange have precision stratagem call-ins even at range (sounds like a godsend for 380mm lovers) and through stratagem jammers. Hell, even a support weapon laser designator that purely drops in a Hellbomb on an impact or timed fuse would be useful/fun. I could see a lot of possible use cases for either of my takes on it. But the remote silo seems neat enough. I just hope it either has a slightly shorter cooldown, or multiple shots/multiple missiles in a single shot by the time it releases for us to use in-game. A single remote designated missile is pretty neat and has a couple niche uses, but honestly, I'm not sure if it would be worth your stratagem slot and support weapon capability to lug a little laser pointer pistol that calls down a single missile...

[@Bioxite-real]

I think it would be great if the missile silo has 3 options... One single missile for a single unit or armored unit Second 3 rockets for few mid armor units And third for cluster for many small units Just saying it would be cool

[@SkyNinja759]

I'm hoping for 3 missile strikes per call in with 3 different missiles that are swapped through holding reload with the laser designator; napalm, bunker buster (500kg), and cluster strike.

[@NewYear7878]

I just Hope it Can destroy automaton stratagem jammers and ennemy elites. That would be my main use with this. It's a bit overkill for fabricators.

[@Polaris5664]

This seems nice, but If the designator is a support weapon It would be annoying to not be able to carry the designator and a support weapon at the same time. Tbh I think expendables should be able to use either the backpack slot or the support weapon slot, and to switch to the weapon you press 5 (the backpack key) so if you don't have a backpack you can carry an expendable launcher with something like the Stalwart, AMR, or arc thrower. or carry two expendables at once!

[@chrisR-B]

Yea. Why have options when you can create a situation where every single diver uses the same loadout … that sounds so much fun >_>

[@delcox8165]

Seems like a 500-kg with extra steps and half the charges.

[@ingwersengrady]

I'm assuming this is going to be a pocket Mini-Nuke to justify all the steps involved. Probably limited to like 3 uses like the laser.

[@GameFuMaster]

Welp, another strategem that probably won't go used because its basically a 500kg, but with a longer CD and has 1 less charge.

[@Sieguel]

It should be worth 1 of 4 stratagem slots. Note that even Laser Cannon can destroy some of secondary objectives at 200 m distance.

[@malvagio-hc3gg]

1:38 I think it need a bit of calibration 😂😅

[@xmst5]

so they shoot down a pod with a missile in it from a ship, in order of that missile to then be fired from the planet. wouldn't it make more sense if you droppped in with the laser designator while the missile is fired from the ship without the pod.

This has been out for over a year now. Or at least in the game. I remember back when the leaks were out and I was even on spawning stuff in and trying it out. This was a working concept as far back as a year ago. Looks like not much about it has changed.

[@praetorjaeger]

I would hope the payload gets increased but so does the time after designation to impact. Additionally I think that you should be able to keep the laser designator or it should slide up from the pod so you don’t have to look down into the pod for it.

[@letzplayosaurus]

if this thing doesn't recharge it has no right to take up a support weapon slot when you could just take an precision strike with you

seems pretty cool, but if the targeter takes up the support weapon slot, i think u should be able to save up multiple missles and then shoot them with one targeter one-one

[@Voidvanguard189]

Can’t wait to use it Democraticly of course

[@bagel5833]

So it's like, SEAF artillery but a stratagem, I wonder if it'll have limited uses like the lasers to balance it, probably a CRAZY cooldown too, but looks promising as a stratagem. I also bet it can be destroyed by enemies as yet another level of balancing, but I could see popping one down at the start to save for later. (I.E. getting slapped around by 4 Harvesters.)

[@TheSouthern1cross]

only super Earth would conceive of a missile which is fired down to then be fired up to come down to destroy something... hell but it looks cool, and thats what matters.

[@G7ue]

So its like a precision strike from range? Could be good! Especially if you can have multiple of them on the map at once. I can see someone making a line of them at extraction in preparation, then just grabbing and using each designator one after another when holding out. At the very least, it might make dealing with those shielded Illuminate ships much less annoying.

[@Oilupimtherein5]

[@themok3rify]

[@mr.hi_vevo414]

I don't see why this needs to land on the planet before being launched. All they need is to send down the remote, then they could just launch a bigger payload straight from the destroyer. I hope they come up with some clever explanation like how hellbombs need to be manually armed for "budgetary reasons"

[@IrrelevantPlease]

wtf this is so freaking cool

[@BiggieJ4224]

Honestly it would be much cooler if this thing was the size of a hellbomb, would be incredible for base clearing, and maybe 203 seconds for this is a bit too short, so extend the cooldown time to make it more balanced. But a long ranged hellbomb would be something I could genuinely see myself using, this thing seems like a glorified rail cannon/500 kg with extra steps, only advantage being that it has long range potential. But I would prefer the hellbomb approach, as then we would have more reason to buff things like the rail cannon strike because it is utterly useless right now. This could be essentially a long ranged hell bomb, high cooldown, 1 usage per call in, and would be mainly used for base clearing. (And yes I think this would be fair, they already give us free hellbombs without even needing to take up a stratagem slot, so I think trading a stratagem slot for literally just a ranged version of this would be fair enough in a PVE game) Edit: I just realized for team play, having 4 long ranged hellbombs could make objectives way too easy, so I’ll leave my comment because I think it has some ground, but they’d probably have to do some other unique way of balancing this thing if they were to make it hellbomb sized. Maybe they could implement some sort of “team stratagem” where the squad can vote on a shared powerful stratagem to be used for the session (and solo players could essentially use this by themselves, which would balance the usage rate as you can only use it once instead of 4 different times)

[@ricoanderson6626]

I think balancing it out by giving it maybe 2 uses with a 10 minute cooldown could be how you balance it. Having 2 personal hellbombs in a game with a 10 minute cooldown between them isnt enough to trivialize the game. If 4 people get it, it'd pretty much only be OP if they're well organized and communicate efficiently which isn't common when playing with random's.

This one is a bit confusing for me. It's like the half-ton and orbital precision strike, but with additional steps and consuming your support weapon slot? Why would you? For the same strategem slot, you could get the half-ton, which has 2 charges, the orbital precision strike which has a 90 second cooldown. And to top it off, I'm guessing those animations will be slowed down? So it'll probably take longer if not the same compared to existing strategems

[@ougioshino6940]

Has the range advantage but yeah the cooldown is too long

Looks like just another hacker. Not seeing this released yet. Only real advantage I see vs orbital strike is if it works during ion storms/jammers. Or for "advanced teams" that can't have a ship on standby. I think it should work more like a MLRS and have 2 rockets. Then have ship modules to increase to 3/4 Rockets and a decreased cool down.
