How do I use the neutron missle launcher?

Post by sparky2002b »

I know I'm a noob, but I can't figure out how to use the neutron missle launcher (core).

Help?

I *think* (correct me if i am wrong) but the neutron missle launcher launches automatically and you can not manually control it.

I think when an enemy unit is in line of site it will fire automatically at them. Also, I think the missles are free now unlike the original TA and it will fire a missle every ~30 seconds. It also might fire if the enemy unit is spotted on radar, I have not really used it so i do not know for sure.

If that's true, you should set it to hold fire, and then you can force fire at whatever target you want to.

You're right; it is automatic.

Just click the stockpile button and aim it. It works like a small nuke, Caydr removed the anti-Arm-only crap Cavedog put in there.

Except the Arm-only stuff actually makes sense in the context of the original TA story :) Arm units are piloted by biological entities, whereas Core units are not, so theoretically the Core *ought* to be immune to neutron bombs.

Yes but who plays TA for the story? Gameplay-wise that sucked.
