Unfortunately, while they are deployed nearly every episode, their total destructive power barely rivals that of a road flare. Not surprisingly, The Big O also carries a stupidly large number of missiles in its chest cavity.Kaoruko from Akahori Gedou Hour Lovege often does this with her Powered Armor, which has four missile launchers (two on her legs, two on her arms) that fire like this.See also the related video game genre, Bullet Hell. See also Beam Spam, the laser variant, and Magic Missile Storm, the magical projectile variant. If this is fired from another missile in the form of a cluster or multi missile, then it's Recursive Ammo. In fiction (other than Video Games), it will often overlap with a Worf Barrage, especially if it's used against a single target.Ī form of Death In All Directions, There Is No Kill like Overkill, and Impossibly Cool Weapon.
In fact a whole lot of real-life weapon systems are either designed or can be adapted to use this tactic, and if nothing else you can just gather a whole bunch of one-shot launchers together Hamas or Hezbollah-style see Real Life examples below. There are several actual weapons that fire a Macross Missile Massacre. It has also been called "Itano Circus," after animation director Ichiro Itano, who pioneered the most common aesthetic look of the MMM. Named after the Humongous Mecha in the Macross metaseries who fire swarms of missiles (specifically, 'micromissiles') that behave in precisely this way. Missiles may engage in Roboteching (which should not be confused with Macross Missile Massacre, even though Macross is part of Robotech). Can often be rendered into a Worf Barrage. Trying to lead them away and crashing into an enemy is usually reserved for Ace Pilots. A slightly more proactive solution is to launch your own missiles or, if you have the option of More Dakka, shooting them down. If More Dakka is about spamming bullets, then Macross Missile Massacre is the missile equivalent of it.Ī High-Speed Missile Dodge is usually an effective counter.
In some cases, this is justified by having the missile silos oriented up (or down) to allow for more surface area-and, in turn, more missiles. Occasionally, this is explained in Space Opera as the effect a ship's energy/force/gravity field has on the missiles. The missiles often follow artistic curving trajectories for no apparent reason, though strategically it may simply make them more difficult to dodge (or intercept, if there's any usable point defence). A tactic wherein a military vehicle or craft - often a Humongous Mecha - launches a massive salvo of missiles at a target (sometimes more missiles than you'd think the craft would be able to hold).
