Is This an Archer Missile?[swearingmonk}

I saw a few of those at the beginning of tsavo highway and if you look closly you can see surface to air on it.

Changed something

I change the Line that said:

"They are very effective against single ships, which is why most capital ships are armed with varying sizes of rotary cannons."

This didn't make any sense. It makes more sense if it says:

"They aren't very effective against single ships, which is why most capital ships are armed with varying sizes of rotary cannons."

This is a valid edit. Don't revert it.

You could just make an account or something, or put in your summary. That is, if they have that for anonymous users... You didn't really have to make a comment on the talk page telling what you did. -Umos 'Qikost ^{Sword-wielding Minors and Shining Blue Spiders} _Comm 22:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Changed again

I changed again the part about archer missiles not being effective against single ships. In Fall of Reach page 319, Archer missiles from the UNSC Pillar of Autumn are used to shoot down Covenant boarding craft. Anti-"air" missles would be used at longer ranges against fighters, but for close in combat, the rotary cannons are utilized. The same strategy is used on seagoing warships in present day.

Also, it said each pod contains 12 missiles. In Fall of Reach page 106, the UNSC frigate Commonwealth is said to have 26 Archer missile pods, each containing 30 HE missiles when she engages a Covenant warship. I corrected that mistake, also. Clanyrdr1 18:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
