DB Selector

DB3K

Affected DBID(s)

Weapon 4131

Summary of Changes

Add a generic ASM radar seeker to the Rods from God for various reasons, including:

MRM-KE had a millimeter wave seeker
Millimeter wave radars that can handle absurd speed have already been considered
Technology is generally proven, would make sense for an already highly hypothetical weapon
Enables reliable engagements against ships and mobile land targets, which currently tend to end in comical misses
Extremely funny

Please close if it's a little too funny and doesn't fit the spirit. Or add a duplicate if that seems fair.

I don't think the RfG was intended to strike moving targets.

However, "Extremely funny" was almost a good enough reason to make me do it anyway. :P

Unfortunately some more intense research confirmed that no one's even considered it. Would filing it as a copy-entry request for the giggles (while not messing up the original) be OK, or is this just a bit too ridiculous for CMO? Don't wanna waste your time if so.

If you can find any possible real-world proposal for any orbital strike platform with seeker capability then sure. But I think it's physically impossible.
