This weapon is a long range, one-shot, standoff missile. It is the most destructive standard ordinance available for X-Com airbourne craft. It is not designed for dog-fighting but to destroy early UFOs or damage stronger types. The projectile is slow and is easily avoided. The best use is against stationary UFOs which are dropping aliens into a building.

-An even more destructive missile than the [[Justice Missile Launcher (Apocalypse)|Justice Missile]], Retribution missiles need to be used with severe judgement.
+This weapon is a long range, one-shot, standoff missile. It is the most destructive standard ordinance available for X-Com airbourne craft. It is not designed for dog-fighting but to destroy early UFOs or damage stronger types. The projectile is slow and is easily avoided. The best use is against stationary UFOs which are dropping aliens into a building.
-The Retribution missile sports an immensly powerful warhead and almost city-wide range, making it propably the most devastating and fear-inducing weapon available for X-COM.
-The launcher is capable of holding only a single huge missile and it has very poor tracking so it is best used against extremely slow or, ideally, stationary targets. Buildings will turn to ruins and UFOs are left with a large new viewport by the huge explosion. The single-shot nature and poor tracking however limit the effectiveness of this weapon and it is best suited for taking down hostile buildings or as artillery support against large, slow targets in emergency situations.
