What missiles do you prefer?

[Ijuin]

I am interested in knowing what everyone's favorite missile type is!

 

[Mekt-Hakkikt]

I, like - I think - most here, prefer the IR as a general missile.Of course, for taking out cap ships, a torp is mucn more useful. Leech missiles can be fun and RPs or DFs too. Swarmers are big fun.

 

[Ladiesman^]

I voted ImRecs. They've always been my missile of choice.

 

[Skyfire]

I'd tend to agree, ImRecs are the best, unless I'm against capships-then I think I might need a torp or two.

 

[Battler Hawke]

heat seekers can be fun if you time it right you can give a cat back one of his own.

And here's the official pre-emtory "Why isn't {insert missile here} on that list?! It's my favorite!"

Favorite potential variables: Null-G Bomblets and 'Vampire Missiles'.

 

[Ghost]

Altough the ImRec is the best in all the WC games, the Swarmer missiles AKA Robotech missiles are very cool.

Vampires missiles?

FF missiles aren´t just "fire and forget", they´re more like "forget and fire".

IR and HS missiles are also "fire and forget"-type.

The poll should have a separate option for the Swarmer. That was the coolest in all WC games.

They're like Leeches... sort of.

I don't think bomblets get to count as missiles... of course, mines aren't missiles either, and they're up there...

Definately Image rec.

 

[Ripper]

Imrec. Love the polls guys.

 

[Loozer]

The IMREC were the most accurate in my opinion.

 

[Meson]

I'm a gun man. I only use missles when they are needed.

 

[WildWeasel]

Me, too. However, I don't think I could say that there's never a time when I need missiles.

Sorry. I was only allowed to put in ten options, so I decided to use only one option to cover both types of multi-missiles (MIRV and Swarmer).

My personal favorite is the Leech, which I wish had been kept in WCP/SO. Even though they take a while to lock, a single Leech missile will be enough to take out any fighter or bomber craft, while the explosive-based missiles will need two or even three to destroy heavier targets.

Look at the fantastic show in WCSO: Devastator or Shrike Mosquito (or Dragonfly) mass launch!
Definitely amazing scene!

 

[Ripper]

Wildweasel. Doesnt use missiles. Wildweasel. Primarily missile toting aircraft.

 

[BattleDog]

IR are the best multi use missile, but I'd take an FOF if I was going against cloaking craft. That is afterall how I nailed Seether.

I always use all my missiles during the first couple of battles anyway and then get to use guns to finish the missions. It always bugs me to have weapons that I'm not using so I pop missiles first.
