Seekers ability to hit a target.

[rdouglass]

Seawolf, I can't agree with you on the statement that tow missles are seekers. They (TOW's) are "guided" missles and not seekers IMO. A seeker implies intellience as in our "fire and forget" smart bombs.

When I was in the Army and had an opportunity to shoot one of those tows (boy was that fun!!!), I remember that I had to keep my eye on the target. If I did not, the TOW would miss. Of course, it dod not take long at all for the TOW to reach its target.

However with SE4, it can take 3-4 combat turns for a seeker to reach its target. That implies an intelligence since you can target other ships / objects on your very next turn after firing (the seekers).

I don't know what they're seeking but I would think that a ship with all that stuff (and propulsion power used in combat) would be pretty easy for a seeker to key in on something: infrared, em emmisions, SOMETHING!!
