Description
The Nettuno missile (also known as "Sea Killer Mk.1"), have a range of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) with a max velocity of 280 m/s and carry a warhead with just over 25kg of TNT equivalent. The missiles also feature a proximity fuse making them ideal for engaging enemy air units as well as surface targets.
The missiles are carried in a five-round launcher just behind the Saetta's bridge and smoke funnel structure which does mean that the launcher cannot be aimed towards the bow but rather has a 260 degree turning arc of which it navigates at a speed of 11 degrees per second.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
The Nettuno missile is an Anti-ship missile with a proximity fuzed warhead. It has a maximum range of 10km, and a maximum travel speed of 280m/s.
Effective damage
The Nettuno missile carries a proximity fuzed warhead with 25.28kg TNT equivalent of explosives.
Comparison with analogues
Currently, in game, this is the first Ship Missile used in Naval Forces so has no other competition or counterparts.
Usage in battles
The Nettuno missiles are ideal for both Anti-surface and Anti-air roles.
The large HE warhead can hullbreak most coastal vessels, and causes moderate to severe module damage on larger ships, while the proximity fuze combined with the ship's search and tracking radar make it one of the most effective naval air defense weapons.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Large HE warhead.
- 10km range.
- Proximity fuze.
Cons:
- The launcher has a slow traverse speed (11deg/second).
- Low speed (280m/s). This combined with the long range means the ship is oftwn exposed while guiding the missile.
- Due to the launcher's elevated position, the missiles have to travel downwards upon launch, to meet the observer's height. If the player isn't careful, this ciuld result in the missile hitting the sea.
