You are aware the Spectre has a maximum range of amost 510+ when used properly......

Your strategy is the one I used when this unit was first released and at higher levels with good piloting it fails hard because the Hercules doesn't range enough or survive long enough to do serious damage alone.

My suggestion for defense would be 4 watch towers with 4 stingers and 5 elite heavy gunners (the gunners are good against missiles aka peace keeper) The stingers range 510 at max level in a tower and rarely get out ranged by the spectre even with a good pilot.

Then have on the ground a mix of Hercs with level 5 range and level 1 plasma (lvl 13 Hercs required) and Humvees with 25+ range and Stinger Squads inside.

The Spectre is somewhat weak against stingers from what I've seen, so even though the humvee is low health, once it dies 2 stinger squads deploy from the destroyed unit to keep fighting. So with 12 custom humvee that is 24 stingers if all of them get destroyed which is a very high number for only 60 space requirement and you get them fighting from within the humvee off the start with 450 range.

Finally have Elite Valkyries with Stingers, the new schematic released will be the bane of all spectre users because Spectres cannot kill Valkyries so they will do heavy damage fast.

Apart from those I don't see any more efficient ways to kill a spectre, hope this helps.
