Torpedo Turret

Kuvaus
The Torpedo Turret

The Torpedo Turret is a vanilla-based, high-explosive missile turret with a low rate of fire. I balanced it against the vanilla Rocket Turret, as well as the warfare turrets, and gave it a niche in the 600-1000m range as a heavy explosive weapon. I've combat-tested the weapon extensively, and in my experience, it can beat artillery turrets most of the time while within its effective range. However, when at long ranges, torpedoes are defeated by the warfare turrets, and the base game turrets put up a fair fight at short ranges.

The theoretical DPS of the Torpedo Turret is about the same as the Rocket Turret, assuming each turret can land all of their shots. Torpedoes fire at about 1/6th the speed of Rockets, but they hypothetically do 6x more damage each. The Torpedo Turret also has aiming arcs and tracking speed as bad as the Artillery Turret's. To make up for the downsides, Torpedoes are bigger, longer-ranged projectiles, with larger explosion radii.

This mod is ready for use in survival. It contains build stages and all LODs, balanced material costs, and has been certified as fun to use by my friends.

Note: Not for WeaponCore. Might behave unexpectedly if used with WeaponCore. This is a vanilla weapon.

* Explosive damage isn't straightforward. The 500 damage of a vanilla Rocket is actually more like 3900 damage when it hits a component such as a large hydrogen tank. In that test, a Torpedo only deals about 7600 damage per shot - a mere double damage! In this situation, the vanilla Rocket Turret deals about 3200 DPS, and the Torpedo Turret deals about 1050 DPS. It took me a lot of combat testing to find out that the turret is a lot more effective in combat than on paper - it is definitely able to keep up with Rocket Turrets in terms of DPS in an actual fight.

@AresWalker You know, I actually thought about doing that exact thing when I started this project :)

Could nickname it the Hurricane Torpedo Launcher. Fits with the storm naming convention. Tsunami might be a good name too.

Eh, I'm just whinging, though I'm sure Hailstorm would also appreciate having a name to call his buddy by, heh.

@andersenman I hope it hasn't been too annoying :) I chose the name to match vanilla's naming convention, but I understand that not everyone will find that convenient!

The torpedo definitely needs a nickname. Having to keep calling it "the torpedo" got old really quickly writing the quick guide on adding V+ homing.

great job. I'll also ask for the vanilla+ version.
In general, the rockets in the game must be either guided or very cheap, otherwise there is no point in them in comparison with projectiles.
