yeah... all those other weapons you need a line of sight.

that's it.

hydra, even if you have a line of sight - if you aim wrong, your missiles crash into an obstacle. If you are still targetting them when they die, you lose lock. And you have to work to be effective support. And it has lower DPM than everything except sniper weapons.

It works to help force the enemy to attack, because they can't just camp behind cover. Which is a good thing.
