			Pretty much useless against fighters when shields come into play, thanks to the Terran Turret's low fire rate and low shield damage compared to the [[Avenger]] and [[Subach HL-7]] the Cerberus gets in FS1 and FS2. If you use the Watchdog in a mission, at least have the decency to give it a weapon that's actually threatening.}}
