Missile Command

There have been a lot of question as to how missiles work in Wing Commander Arena. Are they simple fire-and-forget weapons, or even worse all Dumb Fires? Not so! Producer Sean Penney stopped by to explain how locking works: "There are heat seekers. The cursor turns red and you get a box; fire heat seeker. If you don't get the box they still heat seek, but they don't have a specific target. There's no autotracking for guns." We saw this in a recent video. Arena is a lot more complex than many people think!
