Static AA either sucks or hard-counters air. Bombers either devastate key assets or are useless and pushed into corner. This is bad. AA should be designed to be attritional. It should be hard to wipe out entire airforces or totally control an area with AA, but also hard for AA defences to get overwhelmed or destroyed. AA should protect key assets very well (singus, coms), but on a wider area they should apply attrition to provide interesting manoeuvring for bombers and gunships trying to find a cost effective way to attack.

-Chainsaw: low range DPS. Loses most of its range, but gets ultrahigh ROF (like this model should have). Put near your singus. Good against gunships and shadow spam.

HIGH ALTITUDE BOMBERS - Defensive attrition attacks against ground over time. They are slow, but they tank damage well, and have time to turn around if you hit heavy AA. Shrug off a few losses against screamers and flak, while strategically avoiding low range AA. With a squad you can do gradual damage in lightly defended areas with small losses.

LOW ALTITUDE BOMBERS - Surprise! Tear-in and devastate your enemy, but facepalm if you lose them! They're powerful, fragile and expensive! They fly low to ground and very fast to avoid inaccurate AA and outrun vamps that aren't in the right position. Just don't go near screamers, chainsaws or hacksaws, or get caught by avengers.
