Overview
The Falcon is a pure air-superiority fighter: fast, long-sighted, and armed with air-to-air missiles that delete other aircraft. It cannot attack anything on the ground or at sea.
How to use
Keep a flight of Falcons on patrol over your base and army to kill bombers, gunships and helicopters before they reach their targets. They are the mobile answer to enemy air when SAMs cannot keep up. Because they are useless against ground forces, never build them without an enemy air force to fight.
Counters
Ground-based anti-air (Flak, SAMs, AA Turrets) and Frigates at sea. It counters every other aircraft.
