	Also, you can't put an [[Archer]] on, say, a [[UEF Kentauroi]]. Speaking of which, the Kentauroi can fit six Paveway missiles in ~~it's~~ first missile bank. Using these and [[Scalpel]] SDGs can really turn the tide of battle. The GTA Navy is ''incredibly'' reliant on ~~it's~~ large, easy to hit beam emitters for anti-capital work. This is especially apparent in the [[GTCv Chimera]] and [[GTCv Bellerophon]], due to their mimicry of Shivan tactics.		Also, you can't put an [[Archer]] on, say, a [[UEF Kentauroi]].

On a more technical note, the original Paveway had one thing going for it that made it infinitely more useful than its supposed Alliance counterpart, the [[GTM Stiletto II]]: it had no [[Weapons.tbl#.22Bomb.22\|Bomb]] flag, meaning that, once it was fired, there was nothing that could stop it from hitting its target beyond another ship physically intercepting it. With a subsystem damage rating that is more than double that of the Stiletto II, a single Paveway is more than enough to disable heavily defended subsystems that even a volley of dual Stiletto IIs are unable to incapacitate.

	Another important thing to note: the Paveway travels very slowly (slower than most interceptors), so even a straight shot will take a while to reach its target. If the target is moving and/or obscure, it's very possible to miss. Also, because missiles/torpedoes don't inherit your velocity when you launch them, if you're traveling more than a few meters-per-second in reverse when launching a Paveway, it probably will continually travel backwards, never reaching its target. This, combined with the Trebuchet's much better range, make the Trebuchet an actual competitor to the Paveway.
