More of a plume of super-heated plasma blasted into the paths of incoming aircraft...

It's silly to use a template for AA, regardless of the justification.  The stats should be :

flamer stats using template
OR
AA stats

Well, that's the way I've put them in the Tyranid WIP list, with a "variable" amount of AA attacks.  Some like the template, and that's cool, but I see it as being, generally, less effective than a certain amout of AA... unless you get really lucky against a big airmob of Fighta-Bommas!  *laugh*

Regular barrage, yes. But this is a "gas like" weapon.
