The Caiman Heavy AA Vehicle is a large vehicle designed to engage large atmospheric vessels such as frigates and corvettes. While not as well armoured as it's sibling, the Crocodile, it has twice the firepower and is capable of causing serious damage to larger atmospheric ships in a relatively short space of time. In order to offset the fragility of it's turret, the Caiman has a passive ECM system toward the front of the vehicle which, if the Caiman's orientation is correct, can buy it enough time to seriously damage any attacker. Although it's turret is designed to attack aircraft, some commanders have noted that if the Caiman is orientated correctly, it can bring it's heavy weapons to bear against other large ground targets. Generally, this vehicle should be escorted by other ground vehicles, such as the Crocodile and Gecko.

• Set all blocks ownership to yourself to get the turret to function.
  
• Rotor Limits and Sensor should prevent friendly fire.
  
• This thing is a glass cannon. The decoys at the front of the vehicle should buy you some time against turrets if the vehicle is orientated correctly, but this vehicle really needs to hit first and hit hard. If you fire first and the enemy ship targets the decoys, you can wreck things far more expensive than this relatively cheap vehicle.
  
• Rotor Turrets are awesome, but they are vulnerable, make sure to face the enemy so those Decoys can attract fire away from the main gun.
  
• In order to allow the Caiman to engage aircraft effectively, it is lighter and more agile than the Crocodile. Because of this, it can not receive damage as well as the Crocodile. Use the Croc to engage ground vehicles and screen the Caiman from fire.
