When has homing EVER been good, in any shmup or variant therof.

In Darius games when you specifically need to hit floor/ceiling enemies or enemies that appear behind you.

>Final Stage
>Enemies have assloads of health
>Homing missiles do shit damage

Spread in shmups always has shit damage, even up close. This isn't contra.
