Just as the title says. Are they really needed?

They seem to come in handy on ships.

To see if they work on planes, create a variety of VISxxx.SEE, give them to
an adversary, and test, test, test, I guess.

Just a matter if the VIS ones on ships are Visual and not something else. All of mine are lasers but I use VIS180/240/300 for the slots. If I remember back to way back when, all you needed to do was have your NT's seeker to be a different guidance than its weapons. I think I defaulted to laser because none of the weapons would ever be laser. I wasn't sure if visual would mess with guns.

Does a laser seeker on an aircraft work in fog or cloud cover? Lasers don't penetrate those in real
Life…
