Dubzac and I are fueding over which of these is a better design for AA..

He says light and fast is the best...

However, I say that more armoured units can survive hits, plus get stronger hits off.. if you are light and fast, then you have a less stable platform..

NOTE: Both of these are armed with twin-linked lasers... His is a lighter variation of the laser turret, while mine is a much heavier version, able to take down larger aircraft, and take a beating.

You can make a AA Version of the Titan, but with another image. Currently the SAM Missiles can't handle many targets at once, so a Laser one would recharge quickly and attack another target once the former one is down.

@Destiny: They're both Laser ones, so you can't use that arguement to argue for either one better.

My comments:
For good AA-targetting, it really needs to be turret based, and 9 times out of 10, a turret will be able to track faster than a stationary vehicle trying to turn.

So for that, I'd vote MAALP

Also having a larger chassis gives the opportunity for a larger generator for the laser, thus potentially greater chance of a rapid-fire burst and being able to take on more targets.

So for that, I'd vote MAALP too..

Having said that, the MAALP unless heavily defended is an open target, heavily armoured or not.
Also, Dubzac's one is quick, enabling it to follow and intercept aircraft much more efficiently, while the stealth field also gives it a defense as well as the art of suprise.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it really depends on the situation you have to deploy them as to which is "better".

Dat's is for those which are in LARGE squadrons, I meant LARGE, as in 10 to 20 Bombers Laughing I meant just bombers. Dub's is for single to pairs of bombers and small squadrons of fighters. Man, it's an honour of a TO member which controls Phoenix to post of AA here Laughing Don't take me seriously. I don't know if I could draw up a AA unit.

IMHO, I think that AA units using laser technology are more effective than those using projectile weaponry. Lasers dont require ammo and hit targets instantly. Very Happy
but since both units use laser tech, I think that speed is a next factor. Muldrake pointed that out when he saiid that fast mobile units can chase down fleeing aircraft. Besides, if fighters like Orca's suddenly launched missiles in retaliation, then mobile units can move to dodge the missiles or even maneovre to shoot down the incoming...

If Dubzac's AALas mobile is cheap, then id definitely use it more than a heavy anti aircraft mobile (which if it fails to shoot down a banshee for example, might become a sitting duck because it isn't maneouverable). Confused

If Dubzac's AAlas units are grouped in swarms, I'll bet they'll prove to be just as effective as a single expensive heavy AA mobile Very Happy

Cloaked AA units have to uncloak to fire at helis. And ORCA is especially fast. Stealth AA just wont work. EXPENSIVE BIG MOBILE! Very Happy
