You can also fire the Javelin direct or indirect( shooting directly at a target or it will drop down on the target from above). Another plus is the fact that you fire and forget. you don't have to continue to track your round like you do with a dragon,thus reducing the time you are exposed to the enemy and the chances of you being seen and shot. As you well know those 5 to ten seconds that you must track the target with a dragon are not very safe.  | Those 5 to 10 seconds are what used to scare the crap out of me, glad that I didn't have to be the poor sucker that had that job permenantly. So, it seems the javelin is much safer!
Semper Fi.
