Re: Re: [GZG] RE: [FT] Unified Fighter Rules?   [sec=UNCLASSIFIED]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Let's say the missile makes its rimary move, then its secondary move. The secondary move gets it within 2mu of a target. You do not THEN move it the last 2mu so it snuggles up to the target.

>Why are scatter guns overpowered? they need to be very good because they are one use so are less useful if coming under sustained missile attack. They are good against fighter squadrons, but PBL and heavy missiles will exhaust them before too long. 

Again, I didn't come up with this idea, but I believe the logic is that scatterguns will primarily be used against fighters. KV should be able to deal with missiles and PBL by use of superior maneuverability.
