Fun Facts

 * Was a reward from one of the many events known as Operation: Hellstorm.
 * There was a glitch that the Stinger got the range of Sniper. This known bug wasn't fixed instantly because Kixeye didn't want to give players trouble during the event, then later Kixeye fixed the bug after the event making many players disappointed.
 * Stingers are more of a Bunker or a base defense unit since most of the time a player would use Hellfires or Hellstorms for offensive attacking.
 * If you want to attack with Stingers you should pair it with ground troops if your having trouble with Hellfire Turrets or Troops
 * The term "Stinger" actually comes from a turret in real life used to take down aircraft with heat-seaking missles. A good adition to the game would be a Stinger Turret, and of course Kixeye is going to copy this idea and use it.
 * Or more specifically the FIM-92 Stinger manpads @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIM-92_Stinger#United_States
 * The Stinger is an Anti-Hellfire-missile and Anti-Fixed-Wing aircraft unit, therefore it deals less damage from helicopters except for aircraft such as Raptors and Hellfire-missiles
 * From level 6 to level 11 if they are put in Bunker or in Stronghold they can outrange max hellstorm. and from level 3 to level 11 they can outrange max Hellstorm if they are put in Watch Tower.


 * When attacking a WatchTower or Bunker containing a Stinger with Hellfire, make sure that Hellfire missiles are spread out otherwise Stinger splash damage willl stop them all.
