Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA)

Anti-Aircraft Artillery is a type of immobile creep that spawns around the FOBs. AAA can respawn due to the reinforcements mechanic. They do not attack other creeps but will attack enemy aircraft. The accuracy of AAA is greater at close ranges than at a distance. It is possible to be shot down by friendly AAA if you fly in the way of it and its target. They will inflict heavy damage to your aircraft if you fly within range, so it is smart to take them out before flying over an enemy FOB. It is also smart to fly over friendly AAA if you are being engaged. They can be destroyed with 2 anti-tank missiles, 1 bomb, or 1 anti radar missile. Destroying one will reward 100 credits while assisting in the destruction of one will reward 20. Due to the assist mechanic, simply being nearby upon its destruction usually garners an assist, regardless of whether damage was dealt.

The NATO and Pact factions have different models for their AAA. The NATO model is the M-163 VADS and the Pact model is the ZSU-23-4.
