Harpoon missiles blowing up

[777Azure7strix777]

So like I just made a harpoon missile platform and when it connects (huge) with a craft it blows up not harpooning the target. Anybody got any idea? Or the missiles wont tether if they kill a block? (no dmg components inside)

Do you have a winch connecred to the launcher?

The missile may be to fast and is killing the block from impact damage

Thats was my idea also: How do someone evades that issue? I mean i was using a hughe missile with 53 m/s so that shouldnt be too fast. The craft was a hunter from GT which has plenty of armor too. I managed to harpoon it once but the others just blew pieces of off it. Seems inconsistent?

I haven't used huge missiles for harpoons but given their dumb amount of thump damage, even when barely moving; that is probably the primary cause of the problem. Even an "average" sized huge missile with no solid bodies does like 250-300+ thump damage per m/s. So even a gentle tap will probably kill the anchor block the harpoon needs.
