#Wasp + dragonfly AI automatically land on anything larger than a light quad

Why would I want my ranged air unit going anywhere near anything larger than a light quad?
wide robin
Because it has a melee attack
And aliens are basically always stronger at closer range

I'm pretty sure dragonfly has lower dps with its melee attack

Nah. Dragonflies cost 10x what a wasps does. Heck with the PB mods you get free wasp spawn.
Dragonflies shouldn't rely on melee attacks for most enemy units. I can see the value of latching onto enemy aircraft but I have cheesed so many Dragonflies to their death by using quads
You just have to piss them off by shooting at them. Then you get out of your light or heavy quad and let the AI aim do the rest. I rag on AI tank aim but AI aim with machine guns against lesser alien units is pretty good
Anyhow, I've killed scores of dragonflies doing this. They already try to close the distance to use melee. And every time they die before doing any real damage

Dude no one uses wasps for anything other then attacking harvests buildings and people that don’t know how to fly gunships
