Use Cases

this is DSC's AWACS sniper, goes stupid far and stupid high under the right conditions. It's best used when launched aboge 12 kilometers and above mach 0.8, however the higher and faster you can get it, the better.
Most of it's speed is going to be bled during loft and terminal phase. Try to minimize the time you spend in these zones by maximizing your launch speed and altitude. Depending on how well you do, your range might be anywhere from 300 to 600km.
