are secondary weapons. Also, they look much, much less like conventional flaks - they're more like guided plasma torpedoes. Played on medium difficulty, the long-range variant is annoying, and the heavy variant can pose a decent threat to bombers. Fortunately, they are not very difficult to avoid, and they will only do maximum damage on a direct hit.
