 *Many missiles are guided and will track their targets even if they move out of sight so long as the missiles were fired in [[Radar#Radar Modes|active radar]] with a [[lock on|lock]], or if there is an active friendly [[NARC]], or [[TAG]]. In this way, guided missiles can deal [[indirect]] damage.

 ===Ammo===
-Missile weapons consume ammo, which means that [[assets]] either need to [[Cbills|purchase]] [[free tons|extra ammo]] before leaving the [[structures|hangar]] or will regularly need to find a friendly [[APC]] or return to base in order to continuously fire their weapons.

+===Minimum Range===
 Minimum Range, or '''Min.''' as it's listed in an asset's weapon groups, is a trait shared by many types of [[Missiles]] like [[MRM|MRMs]], [[LRM|LRMs]], [[ELRM|ELRMs]], [[ArrowIV|ArrowIVs]], [[ATM|StdATMs]], and [[ATM|ERATMs]]. Missiles fired at a target that is closer than the missile's minimum range, will either miss the target completely or fail to detonate on impact (dealing no damage). Players are advised to stay far enough away from their targets that their missiles are outside of their minimum range. In the case that an enemy has weapons with a minimum range, players are advised to run towards the enemy so that the enemy's weapons do not work.
@@ Line 17: / Line 33: @@
 Minimum range can sometimes be somewhat reduced when shooting at a target at a much higher elevation or by firing the missiles away from the enemy (although it is easy to lose missile [[lock on|lock]] while doing so).
