X3:TC v3.0 +BP - FBLs

Post by Snafu_X3 » Wed, 12. Jan 11, 05:34

FBLs are generally regarded as useless for fighting, but are they any use at missile defence?

If the un-exploded shot hits the missile, it is. Otherwise, no. The flaw in the weapon is that it never performs its proximity detonation. If it did, then it might be somewhat handy against slow moving swarm missiles, like typhoons.

PACs are still better than FBLs for anti-missile defense.
