FYI on the Detonation warheads. They WILL fire in the "aft" arc no matter if
thrust is used or not. The nature of the beast is that there is a forest of
laser rods around the warhead and the "beams" are fired in ALL directions in
the mico-second before the explosion destroys them.

(i.e.: No "aiming" at all:o)

One good reason NOT to deploy them when friendlies are in the neighborhood.

They would probably act more like SML's than anything else.
