        You forgot one of the main purposes for developing the things...
 to hit the radar ANTENNAE. In WWII, they could've cared less about
 knocking out the hard, dug-in radar stations, but hit those exposed
 fragile antennae and you put the whole thing out. They couldn't do it
 back then, and now they can.
