SAM

I would like to propose a SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile for you guys that don't know military lingo) unit. It would be a building in a city, immobile. The Germans made one during WWII but, alas, did not get to try it out.

It was the Hs 117 Schmetterling ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henschel_Hs_117 ) that they made. Very cool stuff. Video of it below for those interested ( @comrade dave ).

After reading more thoroughly about this weapon, there was a mobile version mounted on the same truck as the 37mm FlaK gun (probably an Opel Blitz). Maybe this could be a super pricey unit to research and build? Obviously both units would be made available late in game.

I like it. Only 1 research slot (like the railgun) and available from day 24+. Extra pricey, and need a LOT of oil for maintenance.

Not oil, I was thinking RM?

Nah, mate, I'm thinking oil, to make it more realistic. But a LOT of oil.

How is it more realistic? At least it stops massive RM stocks on top of it.

Well, I'm guessing a mobile SAM battery uses oil rather than RM.

I am leaning more towards an immobile AA defense, like flak towers.

Oh, so it can't move? Well, RM then.

If you read the post you would know it contained ideas for both.

but they should be wildly inaccurate with a long reload and if it does hit more then likely it would only take out on plane so what would be the point. also we already have SPGAA. I like this idea but i think it would be hard to put in the game.

It is radio-guided by a two man crew! You should read the Wiki page, very cool tech.

Combat box! This is a device made to cause max damage. The 117 was filled with coal dust to make a bigger boom.

I like it, but does it attack at range or acts like a unit? You said it's a building so...

Acts like a normal AA gun.

Aaaah yeah! This is what I'm talking about! A perfect way to stop Atomic bombers breaking through! Well done Ducky-boy!
