Very deadly AAA beam, more effective then the AAAf or AAAh, not usually used, and never by default. Powerful enough to destroy most fighters in one pulse. In the main FS2 campaign, it is used by the GTCv Warspite in "A Game of TAG" to balance the player's lack of any proper missiles.
Also used by the Colossus in High Noon.
Unlike other beam weapons, this appears to be the only one that does not need to recharge in between shots. Once, I replaced all the AAAfs on the Colossus with this in a user-made level; I could hear them firing over and over again like nobody's business.
Replaced all the anti-fighter beams on an Aeolus with this baby and no fighter got within 2 klicks of it. Bottom line ? Use sparingly in your own campaigns. This weapon more or less means death for most if not all fighters and boombers.
