Re: Balancing Aircraft/AA with Altitude

I like how height affects AA now. As a lib pilot I wouldn't approach an NC base in the same way I would a TR one.
Bursters are devastating at close range but have low shell velocity and strikers can only lock onto nearby targets so you're safest carpet bombing from the flight ceiling.
Sparrows don't miss once fired and will chase you well out of lock range and phoenixes, though not generally useful against aircraft, will most easily be able to hit you if they have plenty of distance to line up so it's best to make low flying hit and run attacks and use terrain to catch missiles for you. Flying at the ceiling just means more time for them to launch sparrows.
