An anti-fighter turret fired swarm missile, even if all of them hit, they shouldn't be any problem to a fighter or bomber.


Most of the time, a target enters a turret's field of fire before entering this missile's view cone, so the entire swarm typically fails to track. Increasing the missile's view cone to about/at least 180 degrees makes it an effective supplement to flak turrets when fending off a heavy bomber attack.

Otherwise used to keep enemy fighters moving and to waste their countermeasures. However, if used in large numbers, they will drain a figher's shields down fast and deal large amounts of damage to the hull.
