Who Can Build The Best ANTI MISSILE DEFENSE System?

[@ghefaralhamade6432]

I really enjoyed the concept, but i think it would be nicer if everyone got a specific amount of time instead of shots, since they will then have to chose between lining up their shots better, or firing more but less accurate shots.

[@nemasisdemarini8339]

I've noticed that Scrapman has a tendency to seemingly not really pay attention to his lock on reticle, and instead just focus on his aiming one. And it's not just this one, in a lot of the battles they've done, he'll pre-fire super hard without a lock, but his aiming reticle is red because it trying to get one. And in this, he keeps seeming to try to fire with the reticle, even though his lock is nowhere near Yzuei, and he's looking from an angle.

[@dogebro1]

True, i dont know if hes doing it on purpose.

[@Ony3Felonies]

All you would have to do to get past the drones is take long shots outside of the locking distance. I don't know why scrapman didn't do that.

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Alas... strategies involving using dummy Reticles intended for straight firing Projectiles to aim Lobbing Projectiles are always gonna tend to have awfully imperfect results.

[@calebmcintyre2855]

I think that the challenge was to stop a locked missile, if its not that idk, he also couldve done something like a very low approach because Yzuei's base was the only thing that could be targeted at that lvl@@Ony3Felonies

[@RamadaArtist]

In the "EMP Cannons and Detachable Wings" video, he figures this out mid fight at the very end of the video. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been aware of this otherwise, and I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot about it again after that battle.

[@Chris-ok4zo]

Yzuei made AI bees that protect a hive/queen and Scraps made the closest the game can get to a CIWS that can actually hit a projectile (Don't miniguns in-game can hit the rockets). Bet if he made it so that all the blocks went out at once, the results may improve. Or even in a different sequence, since if the rocket aims low, the sequence needs to almost finish to get to the lower blocks.

[@Draconfury1]

Scrap did a test a while back, projectiles cannot hit other projectiles(dont know if that includes stuff like the snowball launcher or such)

[@beaclaster]

i feel like the miniguns were too close to the rocket like how you can stack miniguns in front/behind each other without damaging each other

[@Forester5678]

Honestly it kinda looks like the Metalstorm System concept

[@steeljawX]

@@Forester5678 Sure, but it also reminded me of the old Hedgehogs from WWII. I'm just erring on the side of caution, but if you don't know what they are, they were like depth charge mortars for ships that'd be launched off the front of a ship and they'd go out and sink and if they hit something they'd explode. They were loaded on like 3x5 setup launchers and launched sequentially like that.

[@Core-1948]

Unfortunately bullets don’t shoot down rockets. Would be cool if they did tho

[@DemonKing19951]

Would be interesting to see this challenge done again, but you guys build custom rockets for it. See what other kinds of defensive measures you can think up when things like guns are in the mix. Adversely, see what kind of missiles you can think up to bring in to the fray. Would be really interesting if you basically designed 3 missiles each, and got fire them up to 3 times at whatever the other's defenses are. The goal being much the same as it was here, damage the creation.

[@BableBeatsQuality]

I’m already loving this concept!

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

I'd LMAO if one or both of them made a Custom Rocket using the Rocket Engine... XD (Though I bet it'd be easier said than done to do since the Rocket Engine has already been confirmed to have its front-to-back CoM not being exactly centered and slightly skews in the direction of its side bigger extra part of its Hardware... hope I was clear enough on that.)

Scrap-man went with the C-RAM (Patriot system) philosophy. Yzuei went with a scramber/interference philosophy. Cool how different the solutions are to the same problem.

[@Xmar4]

Yzuei's was SO cool and clever. 10/10 design. What about something similar to this but like a tank/vehichle versus a bomber. And the vehicle can have some sort of anti bomb projectiles or something?

[@Core-1948]

From my experience with anchored turrets, use pistons with the anchor to lock the turret in.

[@m.h.6470]

Scrapman re-invented Flak, while Yzuie re-invented flares (sort of, in the sense, that he tried to throw of the guidance).

[@jackofall9553]

I find it funny how scraps successful rounds had his projectiles acting as chaff.

[@evangold4748]

It would be interesting to see the opposite of this, where the defending player uses the gun blocks to shoot down a custom missile contraption (if you haven’t done that already) Also, it seems what we’ve learned from this video is the best way to defend an area is to coat the sky in drones with shield blocks!

[@TheChungassSupreme]

Decoy spoofing vs. chaff dispersal/trophy system. Kinda neat. For those that may not know, chaff systems are basically just Military Grade party poppers filled with strips of aluminum foil. It's designed to scramble radar by giving the initial ping more to reflect off of, thus confusing and scrambling the return ping. It's largely obsolete nowadays, though. And a trophy system basically just throws a cloud of debris in the general direction of an incoming missile with intent to destroy the missile just before it reaches the target, but well outside the lethal range of its blast radius.

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

Please do a space version of the classic 2 player bomber versus 2 fighters. Whichever pair lasts the longest in their space bomber against the 2 star fighters wins.

[@Lucky_0p9731]

For IR missiles they use flares to create a different heat signature and hope the missile goes off course. for radar missiles, it basically makes a cloud of shrapnel to confuse the missile.

[@Rocket351]

1:36 they shoot smol missiles to take down enemy missiles

[@happy-zg1jr]

Definitely like this style of challenges more than the one you guys have being doing lately where everything has felt a little too restricted about your builds. This felt like one of the old videos when the only restriction was the block amount and the number of power cores you can use while the only limit being the extent of your imagination. Please like the comment for scrapman to see if you guys agree too.

[@s0m3Guy37]

I think Scrapman's idea could have worked, but maybe if he could time them to fire from the outside to the center, like a net.

[@andreyemelyan5267]

I think there was a chance to do a better defense system based of Scrapman's idea if all of cubes were launching at the same time or in groups of every 4 or 2, to create flying walls of debris, that would be impossible to shot through with a rocket. Then you just need to time it right to allow cubes to build up distance before rocket hit to avoid splash damage. Maybe even connect them, to avoid spread

[@presidentmichael3349]

Trailmakers devs should add flares as a defensive item. It probably would have been better for the airborne update but I can see it not being too overpowered and you could get a notification when a fired weapon has a lock on you and if you press a button like 3 flares shoot out that pull it off target. Also a stealth mode where you have some other penalty to use. In space it would make sense for shutting off everything and coasting (going dark) and auto lock is disrupted. Maybe the penalty for that one is that it takes time to transition at which point you are vulnerable. As for airborne version maybe you can hide yourself from one direction only and can't shoot anything else, they could do it like the hemisphere shield generator but like 15 degree angle each so it would be costly if you tried to make it 360 coverage.

[@TotallyNotAFox]

There is a reason why a Phalanx CIWS fires 4.500 rounds per minute - nice contrast of active vs. passive protection

[@L-B274]

A cool idea for a vide would be if you guys each built a rock em sock em type boxing robot with a certain block limit and a dynamite head then you could take each blueprint and put it in a ring for them to fight in

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

My condolences on your Strat. Maybe launching one single huge field of 2x4 Armor Plates connected by Connectors on their back woulda worked better than an army of pieces?

LOVE the video idea. New idea. Harbor Defense. Teams of 2 with a floating and stationary ground targets. Other team attacks with air and sea (swarms?)

[@RobertJackson-vc9rk]

Scrapman, I see one flaw with the placement of your air defense system. You placed it right on the spawn point where it's easy for Yzuei to see you, you should have placed it a little piece away from the spawn point to where it blends in with the aircraft carrier so you can also have a better chance of surviving

[@blitzywave]

The fact that Yzuei sis rlly low approached, which were technically way better. Scrapman could've done low approaches too and prevent the drones, still a win is a win and a lose is a lose

[@The21PercentOfAir]

Scrapman should really use multiple anchors in the corners instead of 1 in the centre. Everything would be so much more stable compared to a single anchor pivoting in the centre.

[@graylinbeaudry4651]

can you make a short with tnt on the launcher of your creation instead of cubes? i think that would be really satisfying

[@chettiarsirusraj9501]

Maybe Scrapman's turret is easy to operate in first person since he can see the projectile better and start shooting a little sooner. While the Yzuei Drone system is set more to set prey and distract the enemy fire.

Idea: every round of a fight or race, you take a piece off your build until you aren’t functional.

then it would be like "who used more big blocks to build a beefiest tank within 100 blocks limit", "who used more light blocks building a race car", or "who can build functional vehicle from less blocks and load the rest with useless blocks".

1:41 well someone use a rotary cannon and radar to know where to shoot to intercept the target but those tend to be last resort systems or for use where they can be around a base near front lines to intercept mortar and artillery rounds. Primarily missile defense systems though are longer range and work by basically just shooting a missile at the missile or aircraft

[@bread_feller]

I had 2 ideas for this. 1. It's basically a missile launcher that spins and lets go of projectiles to attempt to hit the rocket. 2. Same concept, except it flares out into 8 little arms to try to cover more surface area and hopefully hit the rocket.

[@gustavocunha8014]

[@decodedbunny101]

The hive Uzi made was really good and a fun concept

[@steeljawX]

If you wanted to catch the inbound rocket, instead of doing a sequential stream it probably would have been better to do an alternate checker board. Fire every other one and then like a second later fire the other ones. Doing a stream while you're moving creates more gaps and inconsistencies in the fire pattern. If you're trying to get accuracy by volume, you want to shotgun spread it all at once, not so much machine gun fire them. However firing all of them at once would leave you vulnerable to Yzuei delaying his shot, so that's why I'd say go for the alternating checker pattern or essentially a two-shot beehive setup.

[@muhammadfirdhaus.s9407]

Hey scrapman I'm not roasting you or something but if you're gonna make a trophy system you should make your stuff a lot more smaller and using only one block per launch and also making them stacks on each other to reduce the size and make them move in a random sequence as long as it's stackable you can make it more effective and efficient by using this method you can increase the area that you're protecting and also increase the likelihood of the rocket hitting the blocks (please make my suggestion as your next video) edit: if you're gonna launch it try not to aim too high you'll need to aim directly at it or else it will just works like a late flare than a hard kill active protection system.

[@olivercooksey2243]

[@MaxLBogue]

I think a good strategy for locking the aim assist correctly against the drones would be to come in from down low and try to have the base piece be the closest part of the build to your plane. It seems like the aim assist is based on the nearest target so coming in from above would never give you a chance to lock it in correctly.

[@MINISCULE2]

For defense I'd do somrthing that gets shot out similarly to scrapman's, but jnstead of falling I'd give it sails that expand after it gets launched, which would make it a bigger target and I would also add something to make it kinda float, such as balloons or thrusters with logic, and for attacking yzuei's base I'd go for very low runs to get under the drones (should be easy for me cuz I have an obsession for low fly bys)

awesome high-tech solution by Yzuei!

[@arachnid6691]

Idea: Use small detachable block as flares to distract missiles like in real life

[@EmeraldPencil46]

I think Scrapman's could've worked better if it didn't have that delay for the firing, or had a different pattern to it. I'm fairly sure the missiles lock on to the centre of the build, and the block launcher takes up only about half of it. The blocks also begin to fire from top down, and it takes quite a bit for it to reach the bottom. So more likely than not, the missile will strike the launcher in an area that hasn't launched its blocks yet. It still could preform quite well, it would just need a bit of a change in logic.

[@dr.planlos4297]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
