Missile have targeting systems and also the ability to change their flight path or be manually controlled.
Rockets rely solely on thrust and trajectory.
Please correct the name or release a missile variant.
Examples - RPG & javelin missile launcher.
Ps iv kept it short and sweet, I'm not a rocket scientist lol.

That's not in the correct context though, I'm talking about correct weapon terms here.

Its also a tad bit unfair on military personnel who play dust, they skilled into a missile launcher and get a rocket launcher instead lol.

Nice pedantic moot point, +1

Iv also played with loads of military and x military who laugh at the name.
Next time you hear of a missile propelled grenade launcher or javelin rocket launcher, be sure to let me know lol.

There are guided missiles, and unguided missiles, it doesnt matter if you want to call unguided missiles 'rockets' or guided missiles 'missiles' they are both basically the same thing.
With all due respect, I'll be listening to what military personnel and context dictates over you.

Its just not proper for it to be called a missile turret when they fire plain and simple rockets.

Mithridates VI wrote:Rocket launchers in the SDE are given tag_weaponclass_missile, so it seems like CCP use "missile" in the more general sense.
This makes sense, if that is the case then fair enough.

And while they're at it change 'Clip' to 'Magazine'. We are professionals. We don't "hold our gats sideways up in dis *****"
Even if its named missile in a generalised sense, I'd much prefer it to be a rocket turret aye, iv heard one military guy pissed it had no guidance system after skilling into it and at least 4 military guys laughing at how its not proper.
But either way, after mithridates explanation I'm not too fussed now.
And yeah agreed, admittedly I call the mag a clip, our clips the magical holster that holds about 300 bullets right?

Ironically, if you read the item description they go on and on about the advanced targeting and tracking systems for the missile turrets...
Precisely.
