melting pot turret
Just the other day i noticed (sadly) that airstrikes cannot hit anything above their certain hieght they dont fly higher to hit stuff placed on mountains. Then in melting pot later on in that day i set up a turret on one of the 3 mountains surrounding the statue goal points. My turret was placed so that it could still help steal enemy statues while not being able to be destroyed by bombers. This position also makes it harder to be nuked and being struck by meteors ( unless you know there algorithims as cyan (jordy) does). Well try it out, and give me tips where this would work also unending peaks ect.

ok. the air strike markers are set on the turret. bombers come in. they are not high enough. bombs completely miss target. go play mw and try it. in origianal post i said to go try it you obviously didnt. go put some markers on a peak on a mountian i guarantee the bombers wont get up there.

This has nothing to do with what Patrolman Smith is talking about. He was noting that there are positions where you can place turrets such that air strikes cannot effectively target them. This has to do with the nature of the terrain at those positions (i.e. they are high enough or steep enough that they can't be hit).

Arguing...
A meteor shower is hard to aim. Being that the turret sits upon a side of a mountain ( on a vertical slope almost) it makes it much harder to hit with meteors, which are notoriously inaccurate to begin with. I'm guessing nukes would be able to kill it and maybe a lucky meteor shower.

If meteors shower always fail for you, then you're pretty unlucky... no offence, of course :)
You are really missing the point... The meteors in a meteor shower fall at random within a fairly large area. There is no guarantee that any particular spot will get hit, thus taking out a turret with a meteor shower is not a sure bet even in the best of times. Given how much Patrolman Smith plays (and the quality with which he plays), and the fact that I have never seen you play a game, it might be wise to listen to what he says, rather than try to correct him with every asinine post that you make.
