Function

Strategy

Counters

As one of the main effective defenses against aerial vehicles, destroying these early allow aerial vehicles to harass the enemy base more freely and remain in the enemy base much longer upon attack. Players can also evade incoming missiles if they move their aerial vehicles fast enough, considering that the homing rockets will not have enough time to turn around.
