Hypersonic MissilesThe Han forces employ a range of Hypersonic missile systems. Not only the lighter ones but a pair of heavier missile.The J7 ‘Dragon’, and J11 ‘Heavy Dragon’ as they are known known have some advantages and disadvantages.Their main advantage is that they have a long range and the damage inflicted by them actually increases with that range. At short and medium ranges they are less effective as the missile is still accelerating however - at long range - both the J7 and the J11 can be quite devastating. They can also have an advantage to hit (+1) if a Sniper Pod is deployed to guide them onto their target.Their disadvantage is that they are less effective at close range (doing less damage) and they are travelling slow enough (whilst accelerating at close and medium ranges) that - at anything under long range - weapons that can bring down incoming fire from regular ATGMs etc (weapon systems allocated a red or blue triangle such as Calliopes and tribarrels etc) can be used to attack them. When fired at targets at long range, however, they are travelling fast enough to obviate this..
