SSMS/Scuds?

[Guynumber7]

is it possible to make SSM';s such as scuds to use as artillery? maybe it would shoot one shot that could cause TONS of damage, or something.

The payload of a Scud is ~1 ton. This is a serious capacity for a nuke or chemical warhead but not so impressive for conventional munitions (as High Explosives). It would be equivalent to a succesful bombing run of 1 or 2 modern tactical fighter-bombers.
The Scuds would cause "TONS" of damage only in the nuclear/chemical mode, which is not modelled in the game anyway.

We discussed this not too long ago in the TO&E section. You can view the thread here (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=580322&page=1&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1).

With modern fighter bombers, the 1 ton warhead might be not even 1 full run http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Add to that massive inaccuracy and you get a one-shot bomb guaranteed to fall somewhere in 10 hex radius around target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

well not just scuds. maybe Iskanders or equivilent.

lol and in speaking of dasiy cutters......how bout a MOAB?

[Mobhack]

The largest bomb/warhead in the game is around the size of the USA 2000lb - 192 HE kill. Maximum HE kill would be 255, since the field is a byte. ie. not much greater than the 1 ton range.
