    C-RAM is exactly where speed-of-light weaponry is needed. You have rapid closing times, and you don't have as much time to track. As has been mentioned before, with DE, you "point and shoot", you don't have to worry about time of flight and evasion.

  23. If you've got good signal, digital is better, but. on Final Days For Australia's Analog TV · · Score: 4, Informative

    Analog degrades better if you're on the fringe.

    Digital is pretty much "all or nothing", with freezes, posterizing, etc.. if you've got a bad signal.

    If you've got a bad analog signal, you'll get snow and static, but you'll still be able to see what's happening.
