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. 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), hold command (H), or sentry (L) to allow the interceptor to scramble.
