The GTM-43 Stiletto

Tech Room Data

Heat seeking - laser tracking similar to the Interceptor - missile is protected by a small shield system, allowing for greater success in payload delivery during busy melee situations and intense firefights - fast, but low in-flight maneuverability compared to other missiles of comparable size - low maneuverability due to the size of the missile's payload (60 Kt) and on-board shield system.

With the ability to take out most subsystems in one hit, and as simple to fire as an MX-50, the GTM-43 is the best ship disabling bomb developed by the GTA. Effective against turrets, engines and any other kind of subsystem, the Stiletto is a valuable asset to a bombers arsenal. However, it's slow, unmanageable, and it can't do any real hull damage.

The Stiletto is as its tech description says. Make sure to line up the missile with your target carefully as the Stiletto turns worse than just about anything else. Using this in a dogfights is just a waste. but if you hit a bomber with one, it usually has a habit of disabling them.
