There will always be the need for projectile weapons. Directed energy weapons can't be lobbed at an enemy position on the other side of a mountain, for example.
Not a great example. Railguns require line of sight. It's effectively a high velocity cannon, not a mortar or artillery.
True. I wasn't thinking of a railgun when I used that example. My response was unclear.
DEW strike from above(drones) Rail guns are gone for a reason,there are more efficient weapon systems now
You think a fucking drone has the ability to generate the current required for a DEW? Maybe if it's the size of a 737.
Shows what you know about DEW weapons. They have units carried by ground troops. Truck-mounted, Drone mounted, Plane mounted as well as satellite deploy.
