Incendiary LRM
Sarna News
Description
Not to be confused with Inferno Missiles, they were initially developed during the Terran Hegemony and saw use until the later Succession Wars. Usage was stopped due to the wide spread destruction the rampant fires would cause, until the Free Worlds League started production again in 3050.[1]
Incendiary LRM's are mixed in with normal LRM missiles (similar to tracers) to improve the flights chance of igniting buildings and terrain while also slightly improving their effectiveness against infantry.
Unfortunately they are not any more effective against armor due to chemicals simply sliding off, do not affect the targets heat level, and lower the launchers effectiveness by 20%. While they are also still vulnerable to heat inflicted ammunition explosions, similarly to Inferno ammo.[2]
