Typhoon or Tornado Missile ?

[Woundweaver]

I`m about to set up my own missile complex and was going to put Tornado missiles amongst it. Thing is i`ve never used them and can`t buy them anywhere to try them out. I`m kinda comparing them to Typhoons. Basicaly because there a SWARM class. Thing is i`m not to sure if they auto target like the Typhoons do ? If they do then i`ll build them instead of Typhoons. So, i was wondering if anyones tried the Tonado missiles and the Typhoons and could tell me which out of the 2 are the best. Thanks for any tips in advance

Typhoons, definitely. Tornadoes inflict more damage, but are dumbfire and has shorter range (~15 km vs well over 50 for the typhoons). IMO tornadoes are usable only against large and slow targets, Ks for example.

Tornado missiles do not have target-tracking capabilities (dumb-fire), unlike Typhoons. Tornado's do a comparable amount of damage, however, and are slightly more effective against large, slow moving targets at close range.

Typhoons are probably more widely used amongst X-players, but I think both are very powerful missiles.

Buy some and test them out.

Tornados are faster, do more damage and cost less cash but their range sucks and they are dumb-fire... I'd go with them nevertheless since I mostly use missiles against corvettes and other clumsy enemies.

Nice one, i`ll build Typhoons then
