torpedo sams missiles find new targets after old one dies.

Its very annoying when you see you 7 sam turrets all foucus on one ASF and when it dies the missiles self destuct. this lets those strats make there pass and do some damage. Also when your 15 sera t3 subs overkill a t2 sub hunter and leave those cuisers alone for a bit.

Or when 10 anti torpedos fire at the same torpedo and let all the rest through.

What i am sugesting is after the target dies instead of the missile/torpedo self destucting it redirect to new targets. There are mods for this I think and it would be nice to have it implemented into the game at some point. you could make all torpedos and sams slightly less powerfull in return.

this would solve the problem of anti torpedos being almost useless and make sera t1 sub slighlty less gimped. also would man harms are easyer to counter.

A different mod does overkill management instead - if enough missiles are targeting a unit to kill it (and a little bit more to be safe), then it will fire at other available targets.

well if this happens it should only happen to torps and SAM, BUT SAM are quite cheap right now, and therefore already powerful. Torp launchers are ok too, even if t2 launchers are not very effective against t2 ships (except subs)

I think torps, sams, anti torpedos and cybran T1 aa. As said you can reduce there dps and sams are IMBA i think 30% cost increase.

+1 Kryo, I think its fine as well. You cant just rely on sams, you may need asf's of your own, supported by sams.

that still dont solve the problem of anti torpedos being almost useless and torpedo turrets being useless too

I agree with the air defence thing as no amount of sams will stop a few t3 bommbers get one pass. ASFS are a must lategame.
