An unguided missile isn't a missile, it's a bomb. | I don't believe I ever said they were unguided. If they were truly unguided missiles they wouldn't have fire control which they do. I just said they can't track a target as in if they miss the target the first round they are fired they can't turn around and attempt to hit the target again.
Quote: | Even if they were unguided (which is stupid), look up the manuever "A-Wing Slash". It ain't hard to nail a fighter with a missile when you pop up right in his face. | Even if an A-wing did carry missiles why would you use them over lasers against TIEs? The lasers have a longer range and unlimited ammo. The extra damage is overkill.
Anyway arguing this is moot. A GM can run his game anyway he wants. If want to run it more like the PC game that's fine but I'll stick to WEG and what I see in the movies. |
