Use it to take out a [[Scimitar (Blue Planet)\|Scimitar]] in one volley, or to scatter [[GTVA]] wings before they are in engagement range. It's not going to take out a [[GTF Nyx\|Nyx]] but it will definitely kill a [[GTF Myrmidon\|Myrmidon]] if the swarm hits.

			The Dirk is somewhat underrated because it's misunderstood--it's a bad dogfight weapon and a mediocre stand-off weapon against fighter wings. The Dirk works well against bombers--its good range and considerable damage output is a big threat to the slow, lumbering bomber wings that you often encounter. Its range and damage also make it a decent weapon to use against larger ships, though against anything larger than a cruiser, you should only use it to take out turrets and subsystems. If you're going for a dogfight or utility missile, though, go with a bank of Darts, Hellfires, or Javelins.
