#Anti ship missiles for helis (aka Definitely Not Pebguin missile)

I think the Chicane and the PALACOAX should get long range antiship missiles/torpedos.

Right now, playing th Chicane on Ingus is pretty frustrating. You have to fly a long way, you can get shot down by pretty much anything, and most of the time your target is going to be wiped out by a jet well before you can get to it.

I think there should be better options for long range engagements on ships. Torpedoes would make sense balance wise because it would explicitly be something that you can't use again land targets. It would only be for helis for balance and to make the helis stronger on Ingus.

but where is the 50 years of anti torpedo weapons development?

Penguin but in NO?

basically an AGM-68 in a different skin

I wonder how the AGM-68's range when launched from a chicane would compare to that of the Penguin ASM?

the penguin could go further since it has bigger wings and a bigger motor, but it would be quite slow by then

I think something like the Naval Strike Missile would be more appropriate for NO.

#

could be used on subsonic jets like the Compass as well, and maybe Shards could get a ship launched version instead of/in addition to AGM-48s

chicanes with tuskos will be great for balance lol

Strategic nuclear capable Chicane. Gotta make it viable for the late game Find_Out

My thinking was to give it 2 Harpoons on the wing pylons. It's a large helicopter, so I figure it could handle it

air dropped cruise missile that sea skims until within a certian range to a ship and then drops a torpedo

#

or like this

For the PALACOAX in particular, I'm imagining it having some similar anti ship capabilities that the Seahawk has IRL... so I think giving it some anti ship ability is a must

Make sure to give the missiles a minimum launch speed, so it's not possible to just fly up/down from a helipad and churn out infinite missiles
