Description

A missile launcher is basically a rocket launcher with guided missiles, the missiles can track a laser, an "heat" source or targetable target, a projectile previously launched or even be remote controlled The maneuverability of the missiles may vary second the games, and even their ability to seek targets; some games uses perfectible tracking missiles, often for balance reasons, mostly when it comes to shooters that can be played in Multiplayer, up to Intelligent missiles that can find potential targets on their own without the need to track or something like that. When missiles have no target to seek or nothing to guide them, they acts like rockets.
