Missile range and missile end
« on: June 02, 2020, 12:53:21 PM »
As I understand it the range of the missile is the intended range of it so I design my mfc to match that range. Yet I can only start to fire that missile when I reach the ‘end.’ range.

What does it mean and am I understanding something wrong?

I think 'end' is a time, not a range.

Range = Endurance * Speed

Endurance = Fuel Storage Provided / Engine Fuel Use - Missiles do not have the option to change speed
