Issue: you can fire only one missile per laser lambda... or they might
hit the same target and forget others.

At the power needed for the laser, there is not a lot of lambda available.

Not a bomb-carpet... just a single shot every few minutes. Now, that's a
battlefield!

And to paint with laser, you usually need some vulnerable proxy
(airplane or commando)
