The Dragon breathes deadly flame (450 range) upon massed ground forces, while its quad laser cannons (575 range, 50 E/shot) pick off stragglers and those who avoid burning alive. Uniquely heavy armor keeps it flying even in the face of heavier AA fire.

It has medium AA (840 range), but is still very vulnerable to fighters, especially stealth fighters.

Dragons excel at chasing down and rapidly destroying higher-tier units, even T3s. The combination of supreme firepower with high armor lets it fight such foes while dealing with lighter AA escorts. It also excels as heavy close air support, pounding ground forces while contesting airspace from enemy gunships, especially with friendly AA nearby to deal with fighters.
