That's not correct at all. It depends upon where the flak tanks are in relation to the direction of the enemies air. If the enemy deploy raptors from the 10 o'clock position and you have any flak tanks between that area and the opposite side (ie 4 o'clock) flak tanks will fire and hit the raptor as it approaches, but flak will not hit it after it has passed. If the flak tanks are at a tangent to the line of flight then they will not hit. I have a combination of Stinger and Flak tanks, plus the normal eGats and ERM / EHG and no Raptor ever reaches the other side but their range means they do release the bombs before they all die. So, for coiners Raptor makes sense, for someone who uses skill and likes to take care of their air then having Flak tanks is a pretty good option but I wouldn't reply complately on them. I keep a couple of laser tanks hidden along side my flak tanks, often people will realise flaks are somewhere hidden and send a ground unit to take it out, the laser also hidden provides a nasty 2nd surprise.
