APV.894 MLRS
Amphibious direct-fire multiple launch rocket system carrying a whopping 33 200mm fuel-air explosive (FAE)/thermobaric/vacuum bomb/aerosol bomb rockets (don’t think about how it floats). Great for fire support!
The whole reason I wanted to make this was just to have fun experimenting making some wacko vehicle. I ended up taking this rocket rack model which was originally paired onto another random fictional tank model I had lying around (I might turn that into a mod someday since it is pretty complete). Very obviously, the inspiration for this is the TOS-1A. However, I wanted to make it a little more fun and special which is why I made it amphibious rather than sticking it on a tank chassis.
The vehicle is a little overpowered given its crazy firepower, but I did try balancing it a little by making it sort of a glass cannon. The rocket rack/pod is susceptible to small arms fire (0.1x damage multiplier, for reference a 30-round mag dump from a vanilla assault rifle will do around 5% of total HP), heavy arms fire (1x damage multiplier), and anti-tank fire (3x damage multiplier), meaning one well placed RPG warhead should be enough to ignite and catastrophically detonate the vehicle. The detonation will kill anyone in around an 8 meter radius and knockdown others further out.
Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to “turret toss” the rocket rack (the projectile that’s supposed to impart an impact force on the turret just doesn’t seem to do anything to the turret, as if the detached turret/rocket rack weren’t a rigidbody). If anyone knows how to fix this, please inform me in the comments!
