I disagree with this statement and would like you to prove it.
I rewatched the replay where I noticed this, but it's more a problem of retargetting different units when the aircrafts move away than a problem of overlapping units protecting the others (in case of homing missiles). Still a small AOE would help deal with ASF swarms (I mean, the kind of swarms we see in Seton games).
But to be honest, not enough balance testing games have been played with nerfed ASF to check if the HP nerf is actually enough to reduce their stacking or not.
