	As a fighter the Firestorm is much faster than the [[Interceptor]], capable of travelling fast enough to keep up with almost any [[UFO]]. It also has much better armor and is not easily destroyed by enemy return fire. It therefore makes an excellent interceptor in the true sense of the word: launch, intercept, return to base. However, that's about all it can do: Due to ~~it's~~ very low range it is incapable of shadowing the enemy and following them around half the world as you're used to from the Interceptor craft.

	So you only should launch the Firestorm if you positively want to shoot down an alien craft.		So you only should launch the Firestorm if you positively want to shoot down an alien craft.

	If [[Plasma_Beam\|Plasma Beams]] have been fired, it will take 3 hours to re-arm, regardless of how many PB shots were used. At the turn of the first hour after refueling (measured by hour on the clock, straight up), your left Plasma Beam goes to 100 ammo. At the turn of the second hour, the right one goes to 100. Turn of third hour: Craft drops out of REARMING status and is ready to fly. Even if your craft has not fired (ammo=100), it will still wait until the next hour (straight up) going through that last REARM phase after refueling.

If you transfer a Firestorm between bases, it will still need refuelling and rearming when it arrives even though 12+ hours have passed (if it needed them before it left).

If you transfer a Firestorm between bases, it will still need refuelling and rearming when it arrives even though 12+ hours have passed (if it needed them before it left). Presumably, your maintenance personnel are hesitant to inject explosives or a highly volatile, poorly-understood alien fuel into a damaged fighter.
