Air Superiority

The Air Superiority ability equips a unit with the missiles necessary to attack Needlejets in flight. Air Superiority units gain a +100% combat advantage when attacking other air units in flight, but incur a -50% penalty if they attack ground or naval units. Air-to-air combat is resolved by comparing attack factors--the armor value is ignored. Note that even ground and naval units can be equipped with the SAM missiles necessary to confer this ability.
