Let's name it Boot.
Like, we heard Germany had those great U-Boots so we made a boot.It's a Sinking Ship.

Unless he lost his hearing now, I am pretty sure he hears fine. That, or the tumors reached that part in his brain.
Also, Ovechkin is hiding a weapon on himself or hid it away somewhere, so I'd watch out. It's true I swear. I think it's in his cane.

@╲⎝⧹╯𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕂𝕠𝕥𝕫𝕒𝕣╰⧸⎠╱ rolled 6.That's what happened I swear.

requiring it to fly at an altitude which will hit a ship for its entire flight path

Is it still useable against ground-based radars? Like, the ones Cannalans have right now or theoretical future SAM radar or something?

To deal with altitude problems we could just toss bomb the missile into enemy territory. The guidance should make it fall on enemy head right and proper, and we have a plane that's literally designed to do something like that now. Low altitude approach to avoid radar, sudden nose up, relase missile, it now goes on a ballistic course and drops on enemy with guidance. Forenians are supposed to be plane aces, we should figure something like that out without revision. :V

Doubtful. Modern CIWS uses radar, computer fire-control, and 20mm Vulcan miniguns to shoot down missiles, and it's not 100% effective.

Bear in mind that electronics miniaturisation is terrible right now. This would naturally affect the somewhat small missiles much more than the quite large naval wessels. Compared to modern missiles, we have larger, more predictable, and likely slower targets with fewer viable approaches. Also bear in mind that their missiles are individually very expensive. They don't need to be perfectly reliable in order to win. And then bear in mind that their missiles can hit agile jet-fighters in W.W.II while such missiles were somewhat terrible as late as Vietnam's communist movement, so technology successes are not entirely predictable. We could proably build computers in warships without too much trouble, they would just be enormous, but on a dedicated missile-screen vessel... We do have radar. Dakka can be achieved through quantity... We could build a giant tank with a purpose-built trajectory-calculating computer trailer and an array of half-a-dozen Garlics. It wouldn't be perfect, but there is no compelling reason to believe it to be flat-out impossible and it would have all of the systems that you listed and be against comparatively primitive targets.

Shilka is capable of shooting down jets and it's computers are still vacuum tubes, IIRC. We just rolled shit, otherwise it would be perfectly capable of that.

I think an ARM guidance package is pretty important to counter Cannalan SAMs. Considering that we have a plane that's somewhat perfect for SEAD missions we can probably render Cannalans unable to  use their radars, and, considering they put that everywhere, it will probably be useful if Cannalans make any counter-measures to the SAMs or ASMs, as they also use radar in ships and planes. Though I'm unsure about how accurate ARM could be for a SAM guidance, I think it's something that could be tried, so Cannalans either have the choice of being pretty much blind or pretty much dead in air, sea and on land. ARM missile could even probably guide onto those fucking target painting things they use for their ATGMs and apparently tried for their ASMs, resulting in pretty hilarious prospect of Cannalan soldiers trying to aim one on us and instead get hit by our missile. I'd of course want a better name than Madman's proposal, and I pretty much agree Artemis Launched Anti-Radiation Missile might be a very long shot, I just made it because it fit the name, lol.

Also, it will really play into our newly created tradition of punishing Cannalans for their technology, just like the Garlic.

"General Anti-Radiation Missile" is a guidance package that can be applied to missiles such as "Saltseeker", "Noose" and "Piracy Warning". It's essentially half of radar guidance, since it only contains passive detection systems. It uses those to home onto Cannalan radar frequencies (hopefully different than ours, possibly also have it changeable in case they try to revise their radar) or possibly even radio frequencies in attempt to destroy them, or at least force enemy to turn off their radar, which will significantly lower their combat capabilities. The missile is intended to be air-launched, though it might as well be launched from the ground or ships.

Onion because, I dunno, tears, and because we had Garlic... something something layers.
Garm was a dog in Scandinavian mythology which barks would break the chains of Loki and Fenris during Ragnarök. The connection is that their radar is named Viking, so by letting Garm loose we're breaking the chains on which are their radar, beginning the Ragnarök, which will end in Sutur - Deathball Mk3, fucking devastating Cannala. They wanted to play mythology, we will give them mythology.
