Air Superiority Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Air Superiority SMAC

Air Superiority is a Unit Special Ability in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC). The Air Superiority ability equips a unit with the missiles necessary to attack Needlejets in flight. Air Superiority units gain a +100% combat advantage when attacking other air units in flight, but incur a -50% penalty if they attack ground or naval units.

Air-to-air combat is resolved by comparing attack factors -- the armor value is ignored.

Note that even ground and naval units can be equipped with the SAM missiles necessary to confer this ability.
