AAAh

The AAAh is a basic beam weapon used by the Terrans and Vasudans in FreeSpace 2. The primary purpose of the AAAh is to protect the ship it is mounted on against attacks from smaller vessels such as fighters and bombers. It is also capable of intercepting incoming bombs in addition to ships. Against smaller objects, the AAAh discharges three beams per pulse. The AAAh can also target larger warships—it will fire a single, continuous pulse—although the damage dealt is much less compared to dedicated anti-warship beams such as the BGreen.

Does just as much damage as the AAAf but is less accurate. Watch out for it anyway.
