This flag only applies to the {{f|Primary|link}} weapon. It should be set less than or equal to the normal range of the weapon, otherwise targeting issues arise, and the unit will be unable to target anything.

This flag defines the additional range added to all of TechnoType's weapons when it is targeting objects in air. In order to do this, the weapon's projectile must have AA=yes set.

Notes

When a unit gets ordered to attack an airborne target, it will strive to move into the Range value of its anti-air weapon, and stay there while attacking. Adding AirRangeBonus doesn't affect this behavior, but as it increases the weapon's effective firing range, it actually makes slow moving anti-air units more effective against targets that are able to escape from them (especially if they have OpportunityFire=yes), since they will automatically move in to cover a larger area. AirRangeBonus=-2 There will be no results. But this tag will be disabled.
