Subject: ADS upgrades
Jon, I would leave the ADS and LAD systems mostly as is. They work fine for
what they represent. An ADS would be either as radar guided auto cannons or a
multiple firing missile system such as a Hawk battery. LADs would be a
automated Stinger system. My only suggestion is to modify them to have
multiple engagement ranges depending on the altitude of the target.
The I would add the GMS/air missiles I posted earlier. These
are offensive missile systems that fire once per turn. The individual unit
would move with a platoon but fire seperately either as opportunity fire or
offensive counter air. Once they fire their command marker is flipped and they
cannot fire again. These would then represent individual stinger squads or a
Sparrow missile system etc.
If required I can post the GMS/air abilities and costs again.
