Wait, so the range of the engagement was 1.000.000km? And it still insta-killed that big ship with 3 layers of armor 10m thick? Casaba Howitzers truly have no chill, Jesus Christ O___O
It would not insta kill it. The problem is the game does not actually simulate the projectiles turning into a plasma beam. So instead of plasma hitting at relativistic speeds it was those flak bombs which would be *far* more destructive as shown here.
It's close. The game just doesn't really simulate plasma. But the bomb itself would turn a material into plasma which then becomes the beam like in a shaped charge.
take a nuclear missile, modify the front of the missile by adding a large amount of metals, target an enemy ship and detonate the warhead, the metal will be propelled at extreme speeds and hit the target with a phenomenal amount of energy
the entire idea of Casaba is to create plasma, while a NEFP may or may not necessarily create plasma. Preferably not because you are tying to create essentially a nuclear shotgun slug
Okay, I have some advancements - at least I've managed to make some missiles with a small nuke core surrounded by flak. They have to get close though (100-200 meters) and work from time to time, but when they do - they shred ships nearby apart. I'm still trying to replicate your design with a 10mt nuke, and now it indeed shoots shrapnel at a crazy speed, but the problem is that it... shoots backwards. Maybe it'll damage the enemy if it gets behind my back though. But it does not work as intended.
@@tvorogmoloko7969 At some point after this video was made, the game mechanics were changed. Now the game deletes all the splinters from a flak bomb after one game tick (game runs internally at 30 ticks per second). So the flak splinters can only damage target at maximum distance of "their initial velocity" X "1/30 seconds", which is usually less than 50 meters for chemical explosives.

Casaba howitzer is nuclear bomb exploding and turning into a plasma beam effectively. Dont see that been demonstrated here
It's not really possible to do that in COADE

Nuclear buckshot isn't bad at all XD
That's terrifying. By terrifying, I mean AWESOME!
It launches projectiles? Wouldn’t that make it a NEFP?

@@leguman5289 As well as turning into a plasma like state because of the amount of energy and heat it is experiencing.

What target?
It's a bug!
Make a ram ship
Did they fix it somehow? I'm trying to replicate it, but it does not work. Nuke explodes, but flak just disappears...
