A truck is installed with a TALL flyswatter which causes aircraft to die when they crash into it.

^^
As the quad cannon always say:
"Pesky insects!"

Don't you mean when aircraft get SWATTED by it?

I suppose. The original idea was just something so tall aircraft would crash into it.

Dr. Strangelove, on 15 Sep 2009, 13:32, said:

Like a solid cloud or something?

Or a billboard.

oooooh quote spam!
but a swatter would rule, a billboard would to. like base defence, so it must be build by a dozer

Ya know it sounds nice...a somewhat long billboard attached to a base defence...when enemy aircraft flies into range the billboard goes from 0 degrees to 180 and slamming on the other side of the base defence...while the enemy aircraft is seen dropping outta the sky. If this was allowed to hit ground stuff a Bunker Buster-esque effect would be funny, seeing them units fly away

hmm... what about a huge billboard that launches planes into the enemies base?

I highly doubt a melee anti-aircraft defense would EVER work. Melee versus ground is one thing, as they are both on the same level, but from the ground to the sky is a completely different issue. And because the range would not be that long, planes could just shoot it outside its range, completely making it useless.

Not sure really.

and a billboard stretching back and catapulting an aurora/raptor over a range and making it shoot as some kind of arty? the plane should be destroyed to.

Make it upgradeable into a catapult, which gives long-range capability.

The idea is quite meh. Doesn't seem very useful. Maybe a fly swatter flinger? Even then i can't see this getting into the mod.

who stopped the quote war!?! why not a plane flinger that looks like a billboard... why?

Sorry to revive an old topic but I have a few things to add:

First a pic:

Idea 1: Make it like the flying demo trap from shockwave, make it as tall as an aircraft's ideal height and make it stealth. Perfect for those pesky auroras.

Idea 2: Make it like a speaker tower, demoralizing enemy aircraft within a wide radius.

About the pic: That is a fake tree that cleans the air. I read about it in some scientific magazine.

what about a missile with the head of a flyswatter instead of a explosive tip....???

I think I found something in Zeke's link that fits the crazy AA role a bit closer:
