Dumbfire missiles are unguided and only go in a straight line towards whatever the launcher was pointing at when the missile launched. These are suitable for large and static or slow-moving targets and usually have a large warhead.

Tracking missiles will home onto a target after launch and so are better for smaller, faster and more agile targets and usually have a smaller warhead (unless they are as big and slow as with homing torpedoes). Tracking missiles are usually more expensive than equivalent dumbfire missiles.

The type of turret shows the type of missile it fires.
