Missle launcher vs Fire Bomb

I have a mk4 shooter with a sniper cannon, railgun, carronade, and one empty slot for either a fire bomb or a missle launcher. Between these two what do you recommend? Reasons why would really be helpful.
I am about 600 infamy and would like to stick with one setup and move on from there. All my weapons are rare and I am level 25.

 

Firebomb. Missles are good for later game when you can unlock more projectiles to multiply the damage. Firebomb is great at all stages and should suite you well

 

Really, show me your levels.
But , I would distinctly recommend fire bomb.
I do not think that missile launchers are effective at 600 infamy.
Also, for the missile launcher, Blastians crew training need to be activated to make full use.
Fire bomb really allows you to take advantage of the fire effect .
I like carronade but as you will be using firebomb( I hope) you can use a blast cannon / standard cannon with damage to burning targets and deal loads of damage.
Plus, you wont miss your carronade since blast cannon is also a medium/short range weapon

 

Missile launcher for you.Since you don't use any canons Which req boost by fire damage.Plus missiles have good range, complements with your 2 Good Long range weapons sniper and rail gun

However missiles have a learning curve and are most usable after lvl 26 of blastain which gives it 5th projectile.So hold on to them,even if you aren't good with them in begining

 

Sometimes I wonder about this. After the missile nerf last year the missile projectile path is so random that I'm not actually convinced that leading is useful. Stray projectiles frequently go so wide that they will hit a boat that is going left or right regardless of where you want to aim. Leading front/back is the only thing useful to control, and even that is very difficult because the AOE is so tiny. Hitting with all missiles is equivalent to a 1% crit chance of a non-sniper canon, and that's all RNG. Missiles lack a perk outside of the 1 event, but in reality it desperately needs a perk to improve the hit rate.

On the other hand Fire Bomb is easy to hit with, deals consistent damage, and enhances fire damage of your team. In that it's actually difficult to recommend Missiles over FB at any stage of the game.

 

I dont have any blast cannons on me right now and I am hesitant to buy one as I won't be able to utilize it's full potential as my bhurt is trained for sniper cannons. Also I see that sniper cannons are good in the long run.
My rare sniper cannon is level 18, my carronade 17 and my railgun 10.

 

This is true.. Sniper is a crutch for campers who like to stay back from the fight... so easy to pick people off who can't reach you back, as long as your teammates are up front allowing you to see your enemy. I've been at this for 14 months now, have yet to get a single Epic Sniper, so RNGeezus made the decision for me... BC it is.

 

Definitly railgun.

 

ok, what i said is fine.
Just remember, what is in the meta works for a lot of people but what you like should be with what you play

 

Actually....... i use missiles and firebomb. I hit them with firebomb and make them run then missile them.

 

BTW my missiles can do abt 150 damage a missile and 3X150 is 450 total. At later levels it can do up to 2.5K. 500 damage a missile.

 

Well,I think Firebomb is better than missile.With only 3 missiles at the low level,missile launcher is hard to use.Sometimes,it can't hit the enemy ship.The 3 missiles will travel together only when the enemy is near.But fire bomb has a good range(27),good radius(3.6) and it just needs skill to use it.
