BALLISTIC MISSILE

Six-level medium-range ballistic missile progression designed for strategic surface targets. Range, speed, survivability, area-of-effect radius and target-specific combat values improve across three model generations. Ballistic Missiles can be fired from multiple compatible land, naval, submarine, officer and specialist platforms while missile, warhead and host-unit mechanics remain separate.

Missile Levels

Lv1 → Lv6

Launcher Capacity

Launcher Reload

16 Hours

Strategic Property // Ignores Entrenchment

The supplied Ballistic Missile property states that the missile ignores enemy entrenchment bonuses while attacking, including bunker bonuses. This is a dedicated combat property and should remain separate from the missile’s target-specific damage values.

Range

1,000 → 1,750

Medium-range strategic progression.

Conventional Warheads

×2 → ×3

×2 at L1–3; ×3 at L4–6.

AoE Radius

5 → 15

Doubles at L4 and reaches 15 at L6.

Dedicated Launcher

PGM-17 Thor

Capacity 1 / reload 16h.

Calculator Rule // Never Sum Target Columns

Each supplied combat position represents a separate target-specific column. Because the complete icon semantics are not independently established in this source, WW3Planner keeps neutral numeric labels and stores every value independently rather than turning them into one artificial total-damage number.

[ UPGRADE INTELLIGENCE ]

Three Missile Generations

L1–3

PGM-17 Thor // Gen I

Range develops from 1,000 to 1,250. Speed reaches 30 at L3, HP rises 15 → 17, AoE remains 5 and Conventional Warhead cost stays ×2.

L4–5

SSBS S3 // Gen II

Range reaches 1,500, AoE doubles to 10, Conventional Warhead cost becomes ×3 and HP rises 19 → 21.

J-600T // Gen III

Final breakpoint: 1,750 range, speed 35, HP 23, AoE 15 and the strongest supplied target-specific combat profile.

[ COMPATIBLE LAUNCH PLATFORMS ]

Who Can Fire A Ballistic Missile?

Launch Platform	Type	Handling
Ballistic Missile Submarine	Naval / Submarine	Capacity and reload come from the host unit’s own dossier.
BM Launcher	Ground	Dedicated PGM-17 Thor launcher documented below.
Submarine Officer	Officer / Submarine	Capacity and reload remain officer-level properties.
Elite Bomber	Air / Elite	Host-specific missile capacity and reload stay separate.
Submarine Officer	Officer / Submarine	The supplied platform list repeats this translated category; WW3Planner preserves the duplicate instead of silently replacing it with a different host.

Platform Rule // Capacity Belongs To The Host

Ballistic Missile compatibility is a relationship between the missile and a launch platform. Host capacity and reload values must be read from that host’s own dossier. They are not universal Ballistic Missile stats.

[ DEDICATED GROUND LAUNCHER ]

PGM-17 Thor Launcher

Capacity // 1

The dedicated BM Launcher carries one Ballistic Missile.

Reload // 16 Hours

Reload is a launcher property, not a missile-level property.

Transport Reload Rule

The supplied launcher property explicitly states that the BM Launcher must reload after disembarking from transport.

Launcher Combat

Visible 0.5 attack and 0.5 defense values belong to the launcher unit itself and are never added to missile damage.

Launcher Mobility // Preserve Display Order

The supplied launcher terrain-speed sequence is 0.5 / 0.17 / 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.17 / 0.25 / 0.5, with 2.51 and 1.3 in the two visible water/transport columns. The launcher shows 10 HP across the visible land terrain columns, 12 HP in the two water/transport columns and sight 25. Because the complete icon-to-terrain mapping is not textually established, those positions are preserved without invented names.

Data Separation // Missile ≠ Payload ≠ Host

Missile range, speed, HP, AoE and target-specific combat values belong to the Ballistic Missile. Conventional Warhead consumption is the supplied payload cost for the displayed missile progression. Capacity, reload, transport rules, ground combat, mobility, HP, production costs and upkeep belong to the launching platform. Entrenchment bypass remains its own missile property.
