Game unit[]
The Scud Launcher is a slow, unwieldy, and poorly armored vehicle. It has a very long range and its missiles deal significant damage, but its missiles trajectory cannot be altered mid-flight (unlike the Tomahawk Launcher). The Scud Launcher requires protection from other units at all times. Like all projectiles, the Scud missiles can be countered by Point Defense Lasers and ECM tanks.
Like the Chinese Nuke Cannon, the Scud launcher can be used as a impromptu base defense, but unlike the nuke cannon, the Scud Launcher can engage opposing artillery when fully upgraded, and does not have to reposition itself like its Chinese counterpart does.
