Rocket launchers

[Marmilo]

Post your rocket launchers!
Here's mine:

Instructions:
Separate fairing and quickly open small solar panel

Hide solar panel

Separate rocket with port

Lift rocket to an angle with landing leg

Ignite engine and look for a target!

This might require unbreakable parts(only for launch sequence)
The test one has a small visual flaw, the one provided in the blueprint doesn't.

Looks fun!

It does not work very well with drag on.
since i'm on 1.35, things are different

I destroyed some satellites with that thing

Solar Alliance. When Danny Batten was just starting to bloom as the best mech tech anywhere. When I saw already that there's only one worthy of leading the forum after I retire. When intel was critical and we just so happened to have the sharpest eyes in the skies on our team... Yeah. It was One-Arm Geko, Danny Batten, GuHP20 and me. And those who joined us. We ruled the solar system with those inventions of Danny.

As an MLRS vet (2003-07) I find this thread very amusing! I will construct a launcher tonight.

This is my favorite thus far! I'm biased though lol.

This looks like a close mockup of the MLRS's ATCAMS round.

There are many other munitions we could fire.

ATACMS fired and target impact:

Of course not. Drag will flip you over before you know it with that ridiculous TWR.

Only the solar panel? bruh

 

[TtTOtW]

And yes my men were trained in both 1.35 and 1.4

Gecko. Danny. GuHP20. Altaïr. Earl. Blazer. And a couple who will remain undisclosed.

So here is my MLRS mockup i 1.5.

This is bare bones anf fully functional.

With that said getting out of the tube was a challenge so I had to put guides that blow off upon tube exit on order to clear without catastrophic failure.

Launcher at test pad.

First time go results in failure... Back to the drawing board and flowers sent to the troops next of kin.

Resigned rocket with guides. Hoping to reduce flowers and settlement costs with this one..

Target coordinate received. MET data is good.
Prepare Launch Module for fire.

Call for fire received missile away!!
Missile has cleared the launcher and is gaining velocity at low altitude. Vertical climb waypoint approaching.

Waypoint reached... Missile has matched pre planed angle and is beginning its climb.

Missile has exhausted its fuel and is on course to target. ETA 5 minutes (fake time).

Missile comms are healthy and no issues are being reported.

Missile had reentered atmosphere at aggressive angle. Target impact expected in 120 seconds.

Visual guidance system confirms coordinates. Missile is in dead angle of approach.

Confirmed.. impact on target.

Launcher sustains minor damage however crew survived.

Launcher returned to resting position and system powered down.

Drinks om me boys!

Lol let me know if these lon story posts are too much!

For those wanting the prints its a finicky build and getting the missile clear is a challenge.

I will keep working this design.
