2 You are somewhat incorrect. This is the list of non-AA units with weapons with cylinderTargetting explicitly defined to be nonzero. 2 You are somewhat incorrect. This is the list of non-AA units with weapons with cylinderTargetting explicitly defined to be nonzero.

4 However, all MissileLauncher type weapons are inherently cylinderTargetting anyway. You can see this by building a Stinger on a very tall spire and see its ground range shrink; meanwhile a Fencer, with much smaller defined range, will be able to shoot at the Stinger from the ground, from outside Stinger's range. This also applies to unguided MissileLaunchers ( what ZK terms "rockets") such as Recluse. 4 However, all MissileLauncher type weapons are inherently cylinder range anyway.

6 So at least these non-AA units, in addition to the ones you listed, can target high-altitude planes with impunity: 6 So at least these non-AA units, in addition to the ones you listed, can target high-altitude planes with impunity:

9 Additionally, rocket launcher units such as Ronin will refuse to target planes iirc, but will gladly shoot at gunships, again, at arbitrary altitude. 9 Additionally, rocket launcher units such as Ronin will refuse to target planes iirc, but will gladly shoot at gunships, again, at arbitrary altitude.
