Is it usefull to "armor" your jets?

Needlejets? Who needs them? Give me a copter anytime.

I'd go noodlejs to cover ground units because until you get Air Superiority you can't attack the bloody things.

After that, Get your best-weapon interceptors and use them to protect your landed copters.

You might want a drop ECM pulse defence for those bloody SAM rovers.

After that, you're good to go!

I tend to armor planes and choppers (and more than a few rovers) with the probability sheath armor, when I get it.

No real reason -- it just looks cool.

Blake, wouldn't a SAM version of your 1-2t NJ worm defender address the problem of P-drones (albeit at a price of higher construction costs)?

That would require neural grafting and precludes the addition of clean. Technically possible, but the window of usefulness if fairly short and after getting both NG and D:AP there would probably be better solutions (like a more thorough sensor network, and chrildren creches everywhere)

I completely agree that sheath aircraft look very cool.
