[Unit Suggestion]Straight/Direct-Fire T1 AA Bots.

With the removal of the T1 AA Bot there seems an opportunity for this role to be revised or differentiated from the T1 AA Vehicle.

Perhaps it could fire directly, like one of these (only not quite so fast):


A stream of five or so bullets which fire in a straight line and do not chase their targets (a bit like the Peewee from Total Annihilation firing at Aircraft, for those of you who know what I'm on about )
Faster Aircraft could dodge them.
This would fit bots being slightly cheaper/less individually effective compared to vehicles.
This would have no AOE, differentiating it from Flak. It would also deal comparatively low damage.

It could also look quite cool with many streams shooting up into the sky, like the Blitz:


(But obviously several shots, not solid beams .)

Edit: Or like this!


What do you guys and gals think?

Sounds pretty awesome.
Also, apparently this website's poll is biased towards erdinger.

You're allowed to eat with that Erdinger ^^ multiple selection of responses heh

This isn't exactly a new idea, my Cougar was one of my first PA unit Designs! ;p

I'm sure it isn't I mean heck, TA got me thinking about it lol.
I just thought I'd bring it up in the T1 AA Bot's absence

Statera actually has this, and I'd enjoy seeing it here as well in vanilla, because it'd help diversify the anti air.

Or make the Dox an all-rounder unit and hit air as well, where its not the best unit for going against air, nor against ground, but its just has more utility added

Wow!

Thanks!

It's just a way to back up the fact that it can work in game and already has in our mod.

Anyway to the point of the thread, I really like pot-shot AA and I think it'd be a nice addition to the roster in vanilla though it seems Uber still prefers to keep it how it is now.

Would it necessarily diversify the AA? Eeeh.. To a point, it's at least be a different method to take down planes. Not sure how Uber would implement it, maybe with some high standard deviation so it could randomly fire into a group of fighters and take some down. Whilst the Spinner could take singular groups?
