LRCM-01-CM Cluster Munition Cruise Missile
Caution:
Due to the different physics introduced in the Space DLC, this missile has 2 different flight paths depending on whether Space DLC is enabled. Detail is provided at the end of the description.
Specifications:
Cruise Speed: 119.5m/s
Cruise Altitude: 4000m (1500m without Space DLC)
Max Range: 25km
Minimum Range: 2km (3.5km without Space DLC)
Payload: 96 small warheads, 1 large warhead
Other: Chaff deployment at descent
Operation Procedure:
1. Raise platform
2. Stabilize
3. Enter target coordinates (Z is optional, take a good guess or leave it at zero)
4. Arm, and wait for launch button to unlock (takes 5~10 seconds)
5. Launch and wait. (the monitor will show a rough estimate time before impact)
About the 2 flight paths:
If Space DLC is enabled, no change is needed. The missile will cruise at 4000m until decent.
If not enabled, there are 2 microcontrollers that needs to be altered.
1. Cruise Missile Info Screen (near the launch controls)
2. Vertical Missile Sensor Data (inside the missile)
There is a toggle named "Space DLC" on both, disable them.
The missile will cruise at 1500m + target altitude until descent.
Reason for different flight paths:
Space DLC introduced variable atmospheric pressure (lower pressure the higher the altitude), this means that air drag decreases the higher the missile flies. This makes it more efficient to fly at high altitude (4000m) in a Space DLC enabled save.
