' Wrote:Missiles, are meant to do explosive damage, that is the secondary use for them.
Personally, I always aim for the thruster of any fighter or bomber, take that out and he/she is dead.
Once me and Jinx I think back in 4.85 took both our SNACS out and we were pointlessly fighting each other.
Missiles are supposed to bring that extra bit of 'dodge em or be sorry' approach. Taking the hits either means you're ill equipped, or in the wrong battle completely.
Sub-system damage is part of the game, and I'll be damned if it gets taken away, if it does, I will have only 'pew-missile-pew' strategy left.
Well I have nothing wrong against sub-system damage and missile explosive damage, its just that when you you get all your guns shot off at the same time that's terrible.
For an example I will use a fight I was in, It was me (waran) and two friends in vhfs vs a missile spamming vhf (literally no guns nothing but missiles). Normally I wouldn't do this type of fight but the missile spammer had a bounty on his head so I said why not. When my shields went down he shoots two volleys of on me and blows off all 4 of my guns, and since I'm a bomber I had codes equipped so I had to die or lose them. If it happened to me at 3/4 hull and on a waran, as you know the gun placement on that beast is far between, I think it just robs fighters that don't missile spam from a kill (and leaves a bad taste when you have to die or lose all those codes/guns you spent so much time on).
