This is a editing failure -- stuff like Smart Links, or LG, were created to get around the problem of "similar weapons in different locations being fired together"; no one ever got around to deleting "obsolete" lines of text.
For ex., one particularly nasty tactic someone tried was: One cycle with a TL tags the target; the horde of rocket-armed bikes following that one all have their rockets tuned to follow the TL on the one bike; so long as the TL-armed bike and the Horde are all in the same arc of the target... can you say "Macross Missile Massacre"?
The idea is: The rockets from the Horde *don't know and don't care* where the TL creating the beam is, so long as the beam is "visible" to the rocket, the rocket can follow it.
