Skyguard
The Skyguard is the only true Anti-Aircraft vehicle in the game. It employs a flak projectile system as its primary weapon, and a 12mm machine gun as its secondary. When the flak projectile is fired at an air target, and only at an air target, it explodes, making short work of any single piloted aircraft. The Skyguard is a very fast and agile vehicle, but has very light armor.
The open cockpit of this vehicle will allow the driver to wear up to Reinforced Exo-Suit.
The Skyguard was introduced in release 1.5 in June, 2003.
