EMP in multiplayer. Way back in the day, I popped into a match, and let a couple off.

The cursing and pleading for me to stop doing it was hilarious :D :lol:

Fox-2 is for Sidewinders. I forget what it is for AMRAAMS.

I'd have to nominate the Flail/Morning Star. Not much damage, but coupled with a Prometheus (or Maxim), it sure gives the hit an extra kick, so to speak.
As for missiles, I'm divided between Trebs and TAGs. Trebs are a lot of fun to use on ANYTHING (even SF Dragons, the pesky things), but once a TAG straps itself onto a target, 6 AAAfs are your friends. :D

Tempests are awesome, I took out a Fenris in one pass without slowing down, with just Tempests. Of course it was only a Fenris, but still. Harpoons are great too. I like charging towards a Shivan fighter at top speed and launching the missiles and turning away at the last second, then hearing it explode behind me. :D

Ooooh... Tornadoes and Harpoons are a tie in my mind, having full banks of those mounted on a Herc 2 (can anyone say huge payload?) in the middle of a dogfight is pretty funny. However, words really cannot describe the satisfaction I felt using Phoenix Vs in FS1. Playing Insane, the only way to kill a Dragon in a reasonable amount of time was to punch the Dragon straight in the face with a Phoenix, since as soon as you got behind them they would start jinking like crazy. No ship could match them for speed and missiles were left in the dust by their afterburner, so you only had one chance to take them down. But boy, I've gotta tell you, it's the most beautiful sight to see the missile slam into that Shivan and send it spinning into a ball of flame and shrapnel. Hell yeah. :D

The Maxim. I love the sound that thing makes, especially when coupled with something else. :D

That reminds me, RI occasionally had the ultimate weapon: debris. Everyone must have seen this in action at some point; if the Alsace is destroyed too quickly, the Corsica comes in, smacks into a large debris chunk (whose damage is magnified due to lag effects) and promptly explodes.

I love the Maxim cannon, that thing is just plain sexy.

I also love sending bombs after fighters, to see what they do. It is rather humorous seeing how the AI deals with a Cyclops chasing after it, or better yet, TWO Cyclops bombs chasing after one...

Most satisfying weapon to use, eh ? I'd have to say Morning Star on primary - Dance puppet, dance..... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA :devil:  -, and as for secondary, Tornado will always be in my heart. I like to see the explosions of 4+ missiles on a freaking Mara ;)

I must say the most satisfying is pegging fighters/bombers with anti-cap weapons. After the fight is over, and there's a few shivans around to clean up, crank the energy to engines, and do some "intercept" :thepimp:
