Firing Missles virtically?

[Twizzsted]

is it possible to put the guided missles facing upward to make them fire virtically, but still have them seek their traget?





like a modern-day Missle Destroyer?

The problem with this is that the way missiles currently work, heatseekers are only really useful in combat if you take advantage of their initial speed burst before they start homing. this would negate that advantage unless your target is above you.

but do they still track a target in front of me if i fire them virtically?

no matter what layout or orinetation you have them in, the missle will always launch forwards. so you can have it look like they launch verticaly if you like, but they will fire as ususal
