Poll: Revert Antinuke tracking

[Saktoth]

Antinuke starts tracking instantly now, to prevent it being burried down too deep a shaft. However, with the new terraform, you cant dig a straight vertical shaft anyway, and the amount you can sorround a building is somewhat limited.

So we can revert this, to prevent messy mistakes.

Don't just revert though. Antinuke requires testing to make sure it always hits the nuke and not any nearby terraform. I remember when antinukes too close to nukes would cause the nuke to explode too close the the launcher causing massive damage, we don't want something like that again.

[Saktoth]

If the missile spends significant time rising direclty upwards and doesnt start tracking immediately, then its impossible for it to trigger the nuke too early.

Thats the sort of bug that can only happen with an early-tracking anti.

Make it rise for some time and make it faster? Terraform would not be hit, can still catch nearby nuke.

[HeadHunter]

Catching early nukes in only actual for mobile antis. Static ones should have faster raise and start tracking later on IMHO. This will make them behave more like real antinukes. But for this you need to trigger launch BEFORE the nuke enters intercept radius, so that it gets intercepted the moment it crosses the intercept area. Math for this might be a bit complicated, basically you need to calculate interception point the moment nuke is launched, then estimate the time, and launch anti appropriately. And this will trigger multiple antis probably. Mobile antis, on the other hand, should be more lame and shoot when nuke is in range, with no raise time and go for kill ASAP, making them useful when close to launcher.
