One thing the tooltips didn't explain, and I wasn't able to tell very well, was that does the Heron damage bonus apply to munitions that are launch while the ability is active?or does it apply to weapon strikes while the ability is active?

Say if my Heron has a wave 3 Cobras on a torpedo run to a Venture, I activate the ability while the Cobras are going out, then Cobras launch the torpedoes, but then the ability runs out before the torpedo hits the Venture. In this case does the damage bonus apply or no?

Also what if I activate Heron's ability before the torpedoes are launched, but activate it before the torpedoes hit?

The bonus applies when the missile (or other projectile) is launched, so in the first scenario you'd get the bonus, and in the second, you wouldn't.
