PBs Spike Missile Series

CE-Only mod. Add Spike-SR and Spike-LR2. DMS(The Dead Man's Switch) series compatible.

This is a lightweight mod that allows players to easily acquire top-attack trajectory guided weapons - the Spike-SR and Spike-LR2. You can get HEAT and Semi-Armor-Piercing High Explosive(SAPHE) ammunition. The Spike-SR is a single-use, top-attack guided weapon for individual soldiers, weighing only 10kg. The Spike-LR2 has greater power and longer range but requires a fixed emplacement for operation. Here are the in-game textures:

The image below demonstrates the top-attack trajectory effect:

In-game, the Spike missile tends to target higher body parts on its target. The top-attack altitude will naturally vary with the distance to your target. The farther the target, the higher the missile will fly.

The Spike SR and Spike LR2 can only lock on and fire when the user can see the target. The lofted trajectory helps you avoid interference from trees (when using direct-fire weapons like the M72 LAW in forests, there is a high chance they may be blocked by trees). If the Spike missile is locked onto a target and launched, and the locked target uses the Blink skill to dodge the missile before it hits, the missile will not teleport with the target. Instead, it will fly toward the last locked location. What? You're asking me why there's no Spike-ER, or even Spike-NLOS? First of all, such beyond-visual-range combat weapons require corresponding DLL functionalities, and we currently don't have the bandwidth to develop them. Therefore, we've released a lightweight mod first to independently test the new curved-fire guided ammunition. Additionally, ultra-long-range beyond-visual-range strike weapons might not offer strong gameplay value in RimWorld. Enemies have a small chance of carrying a Spike-SR missile launcher. Good luck.
