The most basic of Draconian rocket technology, the Firestorm is already superior to Hydra Rockets as well as Maelstorm Rockets I,II, and III.
This is due to its superior range, quick reload time, and remarkably lower tonnage.
Although stats say that Forsaken rockets are superior, this is not necessarily true; due to the extremely low weight of Firestorm Rockets, more available tonnage can be used for armour and specials, or other weaponry.
This is especially true if a player has anything weaker than a Leviathan for unlocked hulls, or if a player plans to use rockets to cover the minimum range of a mortar-based ship, allowing more mortars to be built.
Avoid not to only put firestorm on all the weapon slots of a ship.
Firestorm Rockets are very similar to Hydra Rockets from it's damage but is much lighter.
This makes it for lower levels a good weapon when wanting to go into close combat with enemy fleets.
Once you have unlocked Auto-Loader and Hardened Barrels using Thud Cannons instead of Firestorm Rockets is a better choice due to the bigger damage.
But with Cluster Warheads and High Explosive Shells Firestorm Rockets are still better.
Also they can be used with Combustion System, Hydrodynamic Shells, Incendiary Shells, Splash Upgrade, Electronic Range Finder, Explosive System.
