Iron Beam
Iron Beam Laser Defence System
Introducing the Iron Beam Laser Defence System — a high-precision point-defence laser platform designed to intercept incoming threats before they reach their target. This mod adds advanced laser-based defensive systems suitable for base protection, convoy escort, and layered air defense setups.
Included Systems
Iron Beam
Role: Heavy static point defence
Detection Range: 4000 m
Engagement Range: 2000 m
Mounting: Static turret
Designed for permanent installations and high-value asset protection
Iron Beam Lite
Role: Mobile point defence
Detection Range: 3000 m
Engagement Range: 1000 m
Mounting: Mobile base
Ideal for mobile forces, convoys, and forward deployments
Both systems are optimized for fast reaction times and continuous engagement, making them effective against incoming projectiles and aerial threats.
Generic Faction Support
A simple generic faction is included, providing immediate access to all Iron Beam systems for easy testing, mission creation, and sandbox use.
Planned Features
-Integration of Iron Dome systems
-Custom models for all Iron Beam platforms
-Further balancing and feature expansion
Notes
This mod is actively being developed. Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome and will help shape future updates.
Known Issues
-The laser beam visible in thermal view is not perfectly aligned. This is a visual issue and will be resolved once custom models are implemented.
-A faint audio effect may be heard when the beam fires.
-The system may occasionally engage ground targets under certain conditions.
-The Beam and Beam Lite are currently able to target ICBMs. As fun as it is, that’s not quite right.
I recommend also using the Iron Dome mod for a more robust, layered defence
