Missile Silo

"An underground ballistic missile silo. It can be launched using an event action."

― Mission Editor Description

The Missile Silo is a static unit available to both teams. It contains a single, destructible ballistic missile.

The silo is protected by a very well armored hatch that is able to completely blunt any damage from smaller bunker penetrating munitions such as the GBU-39, AGM-65 and BGM-71H. Destroying the silo instead requires either two direct hits from any 500lb bomb such as the GBU-12 or a single strike from a 1000lb or larger munition like the Mk-83 or AGM-161.

Alternatively the missile itself can be destroyed, either during the launch after the silo hatch opens, or during the early stages of its flight before it escapes an aircraft's weapons range.

Mission Editor

The silo can fire its missile with the following event action:

• Begin Launch
  • Begin a launch countdown.

This action contains both a countdown timer and a turn direction setting. The timer can be set between 0 and 9999 seconds and the turn direction between 0° and 360°, determining the missile's heading after launch.
