Yep, that's what I read when I told you it only affected Type 4s.

Exceedingly deadly but inaccurate with weapon subsystem damage?  That sounds interesting.

Well there's nothing inherently deadly about Type 4. It's just that the Mjolnir beam is pretty beastly.

I've never heard of numeric beam types. Could someone explain the origin of this nomenclature?

...The only beam types I've seen listed on the Wiki are "Fixed," "AAA," etc.

Destroying weapons does not disable weapons fire, but it lowers accuracy significantly enough that AI bombers can find their marks more effectively.
