Title: Small Missiles in too big of Launchers.
Post by: xenoscepter on February 20, 2019, 01:47:33 AM

If I place 24 Size 1 Missiles in a single Size 24 Launcher, will it launch them 24 at a time, or one at a time regardless of size?

Hi,

You cannot place more than 1 missile per launcher.

up to you to launch your size-1 missile from size-24 launch tube, but you will have a lower RoF for à higher cost.

You can only launch one at a time, but the 24 magazine capacity you get from a size 24 launcher can still be filled with 24 size 1 missiles.

You could also design two-stage missile that has no fuel or engine and is basically a  shell that immediately releases 24 missiles. I've never done this myself but I remember it being discussed a while back. You have to remember to set the seperation range to be greater than the sub munition's range. You could alternatively build an actual MIRV that extends the range of the size 1 missiles. However both of these options remove the ability to use them in a smaller launcher.
