Will it get the same bonuses as Torpedoes and Cruise Missiles for it?

If it does, it will be the 100% damage bonus only. CCP has stated no battleship will ever get damage "application" bonuses such as range, velocity, explosion velocity, or explosion radius for RHML.

Forgot to mention something important - Battleships with Damage bonuses (like Raven and Typhoon rate of fire) will have those bonuses applied to the new launchers. Any bonuses to damage projection or application will NOT be applied (such as Raven missile velocity or Typhoon explosion velocity).


So that's a no on velocity and explosion velocity. Painters will of course still work. Double damage bonus will be in effect.

No, double damage bonus will not be in effect yet. Currently the Golem has no bonuses, that's why I said "if it does"

I think that's what she said. Blink

"Double damage bonus will be in effect" because "Battleships with Damage bonuses (like Raven and Typhoon rate of fire) will have those bonuses applied to the new launchers."


It's kinda sad though, because I am not sure if the application of a lower explosion radius on Heavy Missiles outweights the higher raw damage the Cruise Missiles have in the end result.

I think the projection bonuses do still apply, would be nice to get those heavies with extra long range.
