ACTA: Linked Targetting

[Burger]

Can an Apollo with a "Linked Targetting" admiral, fire the missiles from both broadsides at the same target?

The confusion comes from the wording, which states that the admiral's ship must not be able to see the target... but then goes on to give "out of arc" as an example. So if a target is in an Apollo's Starboard arc, can it fire its Port missiles as well using Linked Targetting?

 

[MongooseMatt]

Yes, he can!

Edited for greater clarification: Basically, this gives the Admiral the ability to fire one extra weapon system he could not ordinarily fire, curving the flight path of the warheads.

So, an Apollo could fire one missile system normally, and another by bending the flight path using this trait. However, it could _not_ fire a third missile system using the trait. It only benefits one.

Great, thanks Matt

whoa...

what you have to remember is he increase the PL of the ship, so you could have one appollo firing 2 batterys or 2 appollos firing 1 each

There is that

I suppose you could try and get some other bonuses from the other admiral traits..

But yeah... two of one is better than one with an admiral...
