Mobile Anti-air vehicle

Description

Western AAV - M163 VADS

Eastern AAV - 9K35 Strela 10

European AAV - Gepard

A motorized point defence anti-aircraft system, such as the Light Armoured Vehicle pictured below, protects advancing forces from immediate air threats with a 25 mm gatling gun and Stinger surface-to-air missiles housed in a launcher pod. Small and mobile, these units are feared by any low-flying ground attacker such as helicopters or fighters. They are capable of being strategically airlifted by, both, helicopters and aircraft.

Features

This unit has the following features on its final tier:

• Ranged Anti Air - This unit can engage hostile aircraft that enter its AA envelope.
• Air Assault- Unit can move/attack by using helicopters. When you give the Air Assault command, the unit will board a helicopter and move to the target location by air. If you are attacking a hostile unit, your unit’s first combat tick is executed from the air, i.e. as a helicopter attack.
• Airlift - This unit can be transported between airports/landing strips via airlift. Note that it is completely defenseless while in the air.
