    I'm not really sure what can shoot at units that are coming down / landing.
    Thanks

    Umbrellas can shoot at them.

    AA didnt really work quite as well. Umbrellas are a good, measureable counter.

    don't use aa, use a swarm of like 20 fighters. That''ll take down an astreus in a second.


    EDIT: I misread. Just use umbrellas, make them particularly dense around places you really don't want a bunch of slammers landing. ​

    You have no idea how correct bengeocth is on this one. I didn't have enough umbrellas one game and an astreaus fleet of at least 400 (Not even exaggerating) dropped, trying to drop a thousand vanguards/slammers/sniper bots on my poor little nemicus. I had so many fighters... Not a single one landed
