Almost all my time has been spent with Mk.III Ogres, which have few enough missiles that "use them or lose them" means they launch early. The times I've played with or against a Mk.V, I tend to spend one or two early, then salvo the remainder to thin out the howling mob getting ready to surround me.

Against Ogres, I more or less ignore the Mk.III missiles; by the time they're a priority target the tubes ought to be empty anyway. The Mk.V, missiles rank behind MB and around the same priority as SB - it really depends on my surviving force mix, and CP proximity, whether I prioritize missiles, SB, or treads.
