I have a medium missile tank with 3 launchers. May I fire 3 missiles every turn?

One GCS? Each missile fires at same target. 3 missiles per target (especially GMS/H) can be overkill but makes those PDS's and ECM's on the target work hard... I have TD's for the NPC with 1-5 GMS on each (1/size) - the Size 4/5 units carry Fire Teams to minimize wasted space. 4 vehicle units have 4 fire teams (1 per) - generally LAD, APSW, and two Infantry (rarely one infantry and a GMS/L.) to aid in defense and security when deployed. The ,=most wasted space is size 3 with 3 cap points left over. Gracias, Glenn/Triphibious@juno.com This is my Science Fiction Alter Ego E-mail address.

I fired six at it and feel lucky I managed to take it out. When I fire 3 at a size 4 with Enh ECM and Basic PDS it is not unusual to have 1 hit. Of course these were Enh Missiles as they were appropriate to the scenario.

Almost ALL NPC vehicles have a GMS/H mounted as main battery in some configuration. I limit stealth severely for them as an attempt to balance them versus my other "nations" in DS2. Gracias,
