Description
Commonly used anti-fighter weapon
Veteran Comments
The meat-and-potato point defense weapon in Freespace 2 it is used by every race and virtually every warship (GVC Aten doesn't count), and some non-warships (GTFr Triton) the GTC Aeolus actually makes most of its warship kills with flak rather than its weak SGreen.
Flak Turrets are more of a deterent weapon, although they are still one of the more effective AA weapons in the game.
Flak is a very deadly weapon, the GTC Aeolus is proof of this.
Flak is primarily a danger to a fightercraft with a breached shield quadrant, ANY breached shield quadrant, even if it's on the other side of the fighter from the flak gun. Pay close attention to your shields and equalize their strength often if under flak fire.
