A delayed timer control detonator for heat flares, similar to the nuclear detonation button. All flares currently just activate upon launch from launcher. Here is a design i have been playing with, a two stage anti missile formation warhead. The idea is to neutralise closing missile formations with a two hit punch, first a super heavy flare to trigger proximity and homing, then when closed in a nuclear charge blasts the depleted uranium armour off as shrapnel. Unfortunately the flare issue is an issue, and screen scaling still seems to be unfixed. Attachment Deleted |

you likely won't be able to take out any missiles with shrapnel. blast damage is inversely proportional to the square of the target's distance - in other words, it scales horribly badly.
Your nuke is roughly 10TJ in power(assuming the game doesn't model the uranium armor as tamper). This gives you a blast distribution of about 800 MJ per steradian. multiply your target's distance by 1000 times(in other words, a missile with a 1m² visual section 1km away) and it's gone down to 800J - which is already less than most small caliber projectiles even before we take a blast absorption cut.

Thanks for crunching the math, but the nuke/ armour was still in the prototype phase, more so i just want a universal warhead creator that has both detonator options and delayed reaction mass in a single dynamic builder. Honestly most warheads are already laughably dupe able. |
