Flak cannon (Red Alert 2)

"The Allied Air Force posses a massive threat to our base. Build Flak Cannons and they will turn the Allied air Force into scrap."
 * Soviet Advisor

The Flak cannon is the primary Soviet Anti-Air Base Defence structure during Great World War III and World War III.

The Flak Cannon is capable of looking at any angle (provided that angle is toward the sky) and rotates to track airborne targets, firing to deal moderate damage to the target. Flak Cannons work best in groups, and do little damage on their own. They are also vulnerable to land attacks. To mitigate this, they are often built near Sentry Guns or Tesla Coils

Varieties of the Flak Cannon are the Flak Track and the Flak Trooper.

There are some differences between the GWWIII-era and WWIII-era Flak Cannons.


 * The GWWIII-era Flak Cannons consist of a single cannon barrel. The AA shell fired from the cannon, while inaccurate, spread the damage over an area of the sky. This makes the Flak Cannon effective against a group of aircrafts flying close together.
 * The WWIII-era Flak Cannons consit of twin AA turrets. They are more accurate, and can be built over water unlike the GWWIII version. However, it does not cause collateral damage like the GWWIII Flak Cannon.
