The Bofors is the first class mobile anti-aircraft weapon of the Allied Army. It is fast and manoeuvrable, but it is only lightly armoured.
Background[]
Bofors was one of the first names in anti-aircraft weaponry, so much so that AA guns in general were called Bofors even when they were produced by another manufacturer. Used by both sides during World War II.
Gameplay[]
- Pros: The fastest, cheapest way to gain protection against enemy aircraft either at a base or as part of a mobile force. Can also target paratroopers as they descend toward the gun.
- Cons: Unlike AA guns, they count toward your army limit, and on their own they're defenceless against any enemy ground forces.
- Bottom Line: Not quite as effective as its Russian and German counterparts, but it's still the unit of choice for guarding armour and infantry from airborne attacks as they advance on targets.
