The Air Superiority ability equips a unit with the missiles necessary to attack Needlejets in flight. Air units with Air Superiority gain a +100% combat advantage when attacking other air units in flight, but incur a -50% penalty if they attack ground or naval units.
- Ground or Naval units with air superiority do not gain the 100% bonus vs air, but they do not get the 50% penalty vs other ground or naval units either.
- 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.
- A ground unit equipped with Air Superiority can attack an adjacent Needlejet chassis at sea. A Naval unit equipped with Air Superiority can attack an adjacent Needlejet chassis on land.
- A needlejet unit with air superiority is able to scramble against an air attack or hostile air drop within 2 a square radius.
- The interceptor needs to be stationed at a base or airbase. Use the skip turn (space bar) or hold command (H) to allow the interceptor to scramble.
- Desc: Mk. 66 fire control sensor
- Effect: Attacks air units
- Limits: Combat units only
- Domain: All
