1 You could make a low-flying gunship with enough radius that units could get under the shield. The radius of a Felon's shield is lower than a Gnat's cruisealt. I still contend that AA weapons are generally OP enough that they could overwhelm a shield fairly well - the interaction between air units and existing shield-balls - accidentally drawing down your own shield energy as it gets drained by AA fire - is an interesting mechanic. 1 You could make a low-flying gunship with enough radius that units could get under the shield.

3 But either way, this whole argument has veered so far into cranky neonstorm territory that I'm not that interested in it. I especially agree that planes - with their high altitudes and difficult steering - aren't a great fit for shields. 3 But either way, this whole argument has veered so far into cranky neonstorm territory that I'm not that interested in it.
