I love watching these AA Guns work.

The targeting system is extremely complex. From recognizing the incoming threat, prioritizing the target, calculating it's trajectory and velocity, using it's own AA Rounds velocity to calculate how far ahead it should aim and then firing the burst, adjusting aim every... single... round. Build 6 of them to work cooperatively with each other to create quite an effective AA shield.

A successful hit actually requires the AA Round to impact the target. No 'slight of hand' programming hocus pocus, the round actually has to impact the target. No easy feat for even today's most advanced C-RAM systems. As the game developer, and a proud nerd, watching these things work so quickly and accurately is quite jaw dropping, better than I ever could have expected.

Thank you for considering the game!
