[AP] or [TC] Firing Missiles at M1s,M2, corvettes.
Some Pirate Carrack picked on me, so I had to stand up for myself. I was flying in my Aamon Prototype and had around 15 medium missiles(thunderbolts, i think). So I fired 'em all. None hit the Carrack, it shot them down even before getting close. This happens pretty often to me, out of around 30 Hammerheads i salvaged, only one hit the target(and destroyed a 30% hull Kyoto) . Quite a waste of good nukes.
I really don't use missiles anymore against ''multi-turret'' ships, as they never reach their destination. I just stay out of trouble, but trouble finds me.
What am i doing wrong?

If you distract the turrets with swarm missiles like Wasps first, or with fighter drones, your bigger missiles have a better chance of getting through. And if you can get the target to chase you, you can turn and fire straight down its 'throat' where it oftentimes won't even target the missiles. Or you can bring in a bomber or M7M and barrage them to death.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Or keep a good stock of heavy swarm missiles on hand, Typhoons for instance are deadly to capitals in TC.

What I used to do in my hyperion, is launch firestorm torpedoes at long range. Maybe 20-25 km. The hyperion can travel at the same speed as some slower missiles. This causes them to bunch up. Once within 10 km, I'd launch a few wasps to confuse the turrets and watch the fireworks.
