Mobile Air Defenses, affectionately called M.A.D.s, are Air Defense Sites on hover tracks, allowing them to go where they are needed. |
Combat
As it should be evident by now that everything in the Imperium army hovers, you should also be in the habit of making maximum use of this. Mobile Air Defenses can even follow other air units over water to protect them from enemy fire. It’s also a good idea to escort your other tanks, such as your Tachion Tanks, with M.A.D.s to defend them.
At first glance, these units can more or less replace Air Defense Sites. They are less durable but they do more damage and cost slightly less. The fact that they can move is an additional bonus. But note that their range is not as good. Although this is not generally a problem since M.A.D.s are mobile and can thus move closer to targets, it is still something to keep in mind. Durability is also another factor to consider; the Air Defense Site will take a lot more punishment and can be repaired during combat as well. Which one you choose will thus depend on several factors, and you may even want to build both depending on what you are facing.
