Anti ballistic missiles

[Rudolf Hessbart]

Do you think there will be a possibility to make a unit in the game which can ONLY attack rockets? This way anti-ballistic-missiles can be created by a modder. Was it possible in HoI3?

Sounds dumb - HoI4 is WW2 game and viable ABM technology is a 21st century tech.....

 

[Rudolf Hessbart]

First of all: Why do you quote when you are the only one aswering.
Second of all: Only answer if you answer my question, ok? I asked if it's possible because I want to make a mod for myself.

 

[Gort11]

No

 

[Rudolf Hessbart]

What no? Both?

Units can catch and attack rockets if they are fast enough. The Developers had said this.. so i would think it would be possible to make your own unit version of an AA missile.

AFAIR british use to intercept V1 rockets with fighter interceptors. But when V2 showed up they couldn't handle them - those V2 were too fast. But missile hitting missile (like Patriot system) in ww2 era is totaly impossible.

It would be like asking developers to introduce space satelite spy system, just for modders to use, not in vanilla game.

@Vidkjaer
Thanks you! Seriously! You are the only one who gave me an answer.

@Wildcat_PL
No. I haven't asked for your opinion. And because only one guy on this entire forum seems to have enough brain to answer my question I will lock this thread.

thats helpful to know! may be tricky getting the aircraft to act in a similar expendable fashion like that of a missile though,

 

[BattleMoose]

No. Just wasn't even remotely possible with wwii tech. Interceptors could catch v1s, that's about it.

To be fair, alot of things are no longer possible compared to hoi3, if looking at all the hoi3 techs. You were like a kid in a candy store with the options you got.

Thats just secret techs.

Is anti-missile missiles possible in the game scope?
Short answer: no.

Long answer:
Yes, provided that the target is city sized and stationary (the approximate accuracy of a V2 rocket).

The first practical anti-air SAM wasn't developed untill mid 1950´s (AJAX missile system), not for the lack of effort.
The first ABM in the 1960´s, alltough it involved shooting a nuke at the nuke.
And wide practical avilability of ABM´s wasn't untill 1990´s

The main effort to defend against V2 rockets was on:
a) disable the missiles before launch, mainly bombing launch sites and production facilities
b) disable the guidance system (war ended before develped)
c) use of AA flak on the calculated tradjectory provided by RADAR-stations (not used, because of danger of shells falling on Greater London)

I think he is asking whether it is possible in game terms, not if it is WW2 like. I think he wants to make a mod not relevant to WW2 or some variant of it.

 

[mteir]

oh, ok

Short answer: no

Long answer:
Yes, provided thet you don't have aircraft in your mod.

 

[Rudolf Hessbart]

I think he is asking whether it is possible in game terms

YES! Exactly that. You are one of two guys who figured out what I meant.

Yes, provided thet you don't have aircraft in your mod.

Well, as long as I can simulate ABM missiles it doesn'T matter if they are able to shoot down planes. As long as they have a very low attack against planes and that the planes can'T shoot down rockets.

Still there's no need for him to act like a douche.

@Rudolf Hessbart Work on your manners, mate.

I don't know how we got to this point, but this thread has outlived its usefulness.
