Something for the advanced tutorial that you might not have come across: Cluster Interceptors. Take a Large or Huge Missile that only consists of a Cluster Controller and a Cluster Extension or two, and fill it with Interceptors that start launching 1-2s after launch. Launch it using ejectors, so it doesn't even need a thruster. Advantage: You can hide the majority of your missile system in a nice armoured compartment, because ***cluster missiles work through transmitters***, and you can massively reduce the amount of deck/hull space your launch tubes take up. Plus it's just fun to throw a barrel of missile interceptors into the air and have them do their thing, and the "Barrel" can sometimes distract enemy missile interception. I've also experimented with making the barrel have flares on it, as an all-in-one option. Disadvantage: Your interceptors need to be one block longer, so they can take a Cluster Ejector. 2m Smalls and 3m Mediums are annoying. --- Second thing: Have you got any data on putting flares on interceptors?

For boats (doesn't work as well for aircraft or submarines, due to waterline) It is possible to use VLS Interceptors as a point-blank 'screen'. You need the CWIS controller to override to allow selective launch from localized launchers, this was added with the CWIS controller update. To get this effect, I'd recommend the below setup: - They have a 30m radius for damage so 10-20m spacing for each Interceptor cluster (2-4 small missile launchers) - Wirelessly connect all screen interceptors to the same CIWS controlled missile controller - Set the interceptor head to use CWIS targeting - Use reverse launchers with delayed thrust and turning thrusters with 50% fuel use on the interceptors to get zero speed flips - Set the CWIS targeting to range, cluster size and fired projectiles, limit the fire rate to slower than the stagger (e.g. 0.02 stagger) It dose however take fine-tuning the delays on the interceptors to shorten the turn (thrust cancellation) height. due to torps being slower, reverse launch torpedos don't offer many advantages in my experience. Deck mount missile interceptor turrets are far easier and can look nicer. Medium interceptors aren't more efficient in general, however, campaign craft utilize them to reduce the lag from interceptor spam. In general, the updated controllers using rules have been a fantastic buff to CWIS arrays and timed flak/HE CWIS as the guns are aware of what each other have fired at, what each are targeting, and can prioritize based on how many other missiles are near the target.

I find a small missile interceptor turret that has 4-6 rail small missile launchers(so 16 to 24 interceptors total) very cost effective for durability with small ships like frigates and corvettes.

Have you heard of our lord and savior cwis lams missile interceptor turret?

So you complained about interceptors not being very smart, you can use CIWS controllers to launch them now, even if they aren't on a turret. Limiting how many shots you fire at any one missile can make them MUCH more efficient, in my experience.

Rest in peace large-huge interceptors

I prefer super long vertical launch small missiles where I cram in a bunch of turning thrusters and fuel. They have a sub 2 second turning time and can fly for about 30 seconds. They might miss the first cram shell, but they'd never hit it anyways. With their long flight time and the fact that they can pull MULTIPLE U turns they can just about hit every other target.

Nice :D Didnt know APN guidance would make them better

Might want to double check something there. Last time I tried, HE warheads on interceptors did nothing. Even if they do work now, you need a lot of them to match the 30m range on the interceptor itself. Probably a lot cheaper to just use more interceptors.

BW and math :P mediums aren't really more "efficient" against bigger missiles, their DPS scales proportionally...

Want to counter large missiles, move really fast and erratically

Hi people. how can i prevent my missile interceptors also target torps? i tried ignoring below 20 m but interceptors still starts diving if enemy sends missiles and torps together.

Man why do warheads not work on them

How do you name things?

how do you have such good detection range?
