"Gannet" Cruise Missile REUPLOADED

10.7k SajabAerospace  6.1 years ago

TESTED ON LOW PHYSICS. IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH THE MISSILE, TRY CHANGING YOUR PHYSICS SETTING, AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.


Unfortunately, this had to be reuploaded because some people just do not have a sense of humour, and are absolutely determined to be outraged at everything. In case you're wondering why the original was so controversial, it was called the Precision Endurance Naval Interdiction System. I'll let you work that one out.


This is my latest creation. It's a type of cruise missile codenamed "Gannet". The weapon is easy to use, just follow the steps listed below:


  1. Arm the missile and launch system by moving the throttle to 100%.

  2. Open the silo door by activating group 1.

  3. Launch the missile out of the silo by activating group 2.

  4. Fire the rocket engine using group 3.

  5. As the rocket climbs, use the pitch control to give the launch
    vehicle a 45° nose up attitude.

  6. Allow the rocket to make a slow turn towards the horizon.
    Once pointed at the horizon and travelling at over 500mph,
    detach the cruise missile from the launch vehicle using group 4.

  7. Once the cruise missile is stable, deploy the wings and
    elevators by activating group 5.

  8. The cruise missile can now be flown like a normal aircraft.
    Collision with a solid object will detonate the warhead.


Notes:

  • Trim is available, use it for improved stability.

  • The cockpit view has a central reticle, which is useful for guiding
    the missile towards its target.

  • The missile is best for use against naval targets or structures in
    wide open areas. Targets located within valleys, such as the
    Krakabloa Convoy can be dealt with, but with more difficulty.

  • The missile doesn't like to be handled aggressively, smooth
    turns are better than rapid darting motions.

  • The missile is great at gliding long distances, so don't worry if
    you run out of fuel.

  • Adjusting the throttle setting during the final approach to a
    target will change the power output and wing geometry, and
    can be used as a way of fine tuning the missile's terminal
    trajectory.

    When it comes out of the silo (even on low physics) it just breaks.

    I was pleasantly surprised that you decided to feature this in your video. The main reason for the problems experienced will be physics simulation setting. Was it set to high? If it was, that's the cause of the problem. I did some tests at high physics and had similar issues. It should work fine on low physics setting.
    It also works best at speeds above 500 mph at low altitudes.
    And yes, it can fly seemingly forever with no fuel.

    Here's my video

    Very good! One that works on high physics would be nice, and the jagged turning sequence can’t be helped, but I love it! Low part count and no lag.

    @Ephwurd Eh, it might be old one-dimensional humor but the fact is defied the rules and made probably more controversy than the GAMF suits is pretty funny.

    @SajabAerospace "keep it clean"


    You literally plastered the acronym P.E.N.I.S. in the first post

    Here's a video of this missile in action. The missile was fired from the USS Tiny just off the Wright Island coast, and took about six minutes to reach its target, the WW2 destroyer escorting the USS Tiny Two, between Krakabloa and Snowstone.

    i thought it was funny, i still reported it for the sake of the innocence of others.

    lol, 8 year olds play this game. i can see why it was taken down, good build though.

    If i used the same acronym but dont disclose it, and tell everyone who works it out not to give it away, would that be considered acceptable?

    I never made a penis shaped airplane, I made a Precision Endurance Naval Interdiction System.

    @503rdAirborneSoldier If you have issues on high physics, use low physics. Medium might work also, but I'm not sure.

    It's not that we don't have any sense of humor. Read this and you'll understand. Nice work though
