Overview
The AA Turret is a flak battery that fires only at aircraft. It out-ranges a Flak Track, costs little, and is the standard answer to drones and helicopters over your base.
How to use
One per production cluster and one by the power plants stops the cheap air harassment that otherwise bleeds you all game. It cannot touch ground units, so it always sits behind a Cannon or MG turret. Upgrade to the SAM Site when bombers and gunships show up; flak is too short-ranged and too slow-killing for them.
Counters
Every ground unit and every long-range weapon; artillery removes it for free. It counters Drones, Helicopters, Strike Jets and Fighters.
