It's based on the number of airbases you have. Build more airbases and you can build/store more missiles.

By the way, what kind of modern equivalent missiles count as missiles and what not?

I mean, does an MLRS use missiles from inventory, and can I fit Anti Tank soldiers with those small Bullpup missiles?

Do scud launchers hit units without missiles? Do fighter bombers attack ground units without missiles? I remember them attacking, though all of them were fitted with SCALP

Sheesh, now this is one of those very complicated thingies.

It bascially seems based on range>the longer range missiles are modeled as units, and missiles that are considered possible to be shot down.

I mean, does an MLRS use missiles from inventory,

Yes, and no. The "r" is basicaly for rocket,which is not quite the same thing as missile.So alot of MLRS dont use missile units as their default attack.
BUT alot of the MLRS can use missile units loaded onto them as an additional attack type.


and can I fit Anti Tank soldiers with those small Bullpup missiles?

No.However bullpup missile units can be loaded onto aircraft and used from them.AND i think some ground missile launcher units

Do scud launchers hit units without missiles?

For the most part no.But i wouldnt be suprised if there were exceptions in the game.All of scud units in the game im aware of use missile units as ammo.
BUT i wouldnt rule out there being one i cant think of that also has a default atatck that doesnt use missile units.


Do fighter bombers attack ground units without missiles?
Yes, their default is based on dumb bombs ,rockets and missiles not modeled as units. But just to confuse you, there is also a dumb bomb "missile " unit you can load onto them :P

Hmm, I suppose that stuff is ok. I hoped of launching those bulpups from IFV's and Humvee's for a fast shoot and run though...

Still, cruise missiles launched from aircraft look like the best option. Why bother loading them on small, cumbersome trucks...

When I want to launch my Scuds I have to select the tranporter and click the launch authority each time, if I dont do that my Scuds are never launched. Is there an easyier way to do it?

Maybe I still miss something, but last night, I was right clicking on my transporters with Scud missiles on it and there was no "fire missiles" orders, regular or advanced ??? Does the transporters need to be fully loaded?

Yes. Rain them hell, after you take out low-air defence units.
