Warheads on Missile Interceptors

Is there any official word or a consensus on this yet. I've seen some people claim that adding warhead to missile interceptors does work and others claim it doesn't. I wanted to know as it affects design considerations.

I've tested it, it does nothing. The only person who pretends it does is famously trolling and deliberately making up nonsense about the game.

This is the intercepts i use. They work. Note the damage they deal EACH!!! these are not tiny 2 part missiles. there expensive. Rufus needs to get off his high horse. Stop crying about a game mechanic and learn to defeat it.

Explosive/frag warheads do trigger when the interceptor reaches it's intended point, but you really aren't likely to ever see them do damage because the interceptor triggers and deals its damage within 30m of the target missile. This means the explosion is already out of range of its intended target and frag can't do anything meaningful, because the fragments actually just phase through the missiles regardless.

Its simple logic. It deals more dmg than tiny missile. It reduces HP of missile faster. It can travel farther than tiny missile. It goes to work intercepting faster. to deal more dmg faster. It works. FASTER than short range tiny missile. If Rufus here could learn simple math he would stop trolling me.

No.

Say no all you want. It works. That is a tiny missile. 24 in a turret. .05 sec delay between shots. It looks for incomming at a distance of 4k meters. The system WILL NOT!!!! Stop a swarm of large. but it will take enough from it to let your close in CWIS and LAMS protect you.
I HAVE NEVER SAID!!!!! This is a one and done defense. Its part of a layered system that i use. and it does its part. Before joining the trollathon on me. Actually read what ive posted. It has words that mean things. There kinda important to understand basic communication. To you know understand what one is trying to get across.

So once again... THIS WILL NOT COMPLETELY STOP LARGE MISSILE SWARMS. It will just get the job started. IT WILL STOP 1 - 3 depending on there speed. The rest of the swarm will be up to your close in systems.

30 meters > 10 meter explosive radius.

More things on an interceptor =/= more damage.

Go away.

If these trolls know so much what is YOUR recomendations for defeating the giant missile the game uses? They troll what ive posted but give no real tactic except run from it.
They criticize me for trying to help. and in same breath give no example of how they do it.
Ok Rufus. whats your golden tactic to deal with Giant missiles? How about you Nova? This OP asked about it. You gave a troll response but ZERO help in his question.

How about it. Wheres you golden knowledge. If your going to accuse me of giving fake knowledge you better back it up with some real tactic. Not just a troll response.

That your helpful response. You do understand what 10 meters is right? Its a sphere area. That the targeted missile enters. Then it goes boom and it depletes missile health..
Till you learn simple physics... Um you go away! Come back when you learn math pls!

Simple way is to test it. Make a platform with a M radar missile and one-turn. Make a platform with a passive radar and a S interceptor coupled with an ACB that fires the interceptor upon missile detection. Fire the M missile in a way that gets the target platform to detect it.

Then you use the ammunition following key, which shows you the fuel and HP of your missile. Then you see that the damage done by the S interceptor is nothing more than the interceptor damage listed, whether there's a HE payload or not in the interceptor.

Then you realize there's a very sad mythomaniac on the thread with zero knowledge of the game, which shouldn't surprise you when you see his screenshots and the lack of workshop uploads. :-)

Do you want me to upload for you a series of platforms for you to do the tests, bricox?

I can't even discern if it's trolling or genuine misunderstanding on his part anymore.

Given his posting history, it's highly likely he's just having fantasies and plays pretend, like how he makes ever superlative claims about his ships.

Best you got? I dont have any workshop uploads and i dont go mimic happy?
Wow son.
Till you post a valid defense system you have ZERO credibility except your troll skills.
As for the ships you posted. The MEG eats them. They cant even beat the base Strider ships let alone the Dawn Thrust craft.
There really pretty builds. Look damn near realistic. But fly apart with the greatest of ease.
Learn to beat a game before you TRY and go after someone who can beat it with min to NO dmg from base game vessels. K :)

Dont take my word for it. Go get Global and Polar. Pit them against a MEG and a Killer Whale. XD Watch the fun XD
