Dis3

I currently understand that in the current Community Core, Dis3 does not have an AOE. However, the description offered at the loadout screen continues to state this. Am I correct (and it needs to be fixed)? Or am I mistaken (shut up nubcake)?

People considered dis3 with AoE to be "uber cheese" or the "retard gun" as it allowed people with lesser amounts of skill to kill ints with a slightly larger amount of chance. Whiny voobs for the most part. Noir removed the AoE effect, but didn't change the description.

But this still leaves Sup without a way to clear minefields. Exp has the EMP cannon, why doesn't sup have an AoE?

Somewhat on topic:

It would be nice if dis wasn't so useless. I'd like to be able to make use of the galvonic blaster as a gun, but since the projectile speed is so different from gat, it just doesn't work. Dis is same speed, but galv & 2*dis does so little damage to non-caps that it's just not worth it.

Poor Man's AoE:
Just send figs to blast through the mine field, and have a scout ready with pod pickups. After a few figs, the caltrop will be suffficiently depleted

AoE is also very useful for shooting down missiles.

Why not let dis3 have a good AoE but be weaker than it was against int hulls? It seems obvious to me, but I must be missing something.

On a side note about Aoe and missiles. Does EMP do any actually AoE/Damage to missiles? As in XRM defense?
