What is the general consensus with regards to Aerospace being engaged during
their activation by HEL's and RFAC's in opportunity fire? Isn't the LAD there
to do that for standard vehicles and the ADS for the taskforce as a whole?

I'm presuming this is for Dirtside. According to the strict rules, you can't
engage any aerospace assets in DS without a LAD or ZAD, as nothing else really
has the firecontrol or reaction speed to fire.

Using your main guns against aerospace is feasable as an option, but you would
need to use the rules out of SG, shift FC die down one when firing at
aerospace targets. The only problem is, this is only available for weapons
with a General Purpose firecontrol, whereas most vehicles only use
Ground-to-ground firecontrols (hence the addition of LAD systems).

Personally, I allow vehicles with a LAD system to engage aerospace assets with
their main gun, but only on that units activation, NOT as an opportunity or
defensive fire action.
