The Air Defense Gun is an early stationary AA weapon and the third Lookout building, automatically upgraded from Observation Post at the Industrial Age Industrial Age.

Air Defense Guns compensate a relatively shorter line of sight for their increased capability of shooting down Biplanes.

To counter this, Air Defense Guns should be built in groups and accompanied by ground units. It also retains its ability to detect any invisible units within its line of sight.

Like other anti-aircraft units and buildings, Air Defense Guns can be jammed by scouts.

Air Defense Guns are automatically upgraded to Radar Air Defenses in the Modern Age Modern Age.
