Using MRLS for AA is hit-and-miss anyway. You won't do enough damage fast enough to kill the aircraft before it notices and kills you. It is rare to kill an Apache before it can cross the entire field on Walls or City, so unless you have the support of other effective AA units (in which case the MRLS is somewhat redundant) you're usually signing your own death warrant by trying. APCs are more effective in the AA role, since they have heavy armor and their accuracy is limited only by the driver's skill- but the most effective options are still laser-type weapons (Laser Rifle, LCG, Railgun, PIC) or sniper weapons.
MRLS makes an absolutely lovely base defense vehicle because of its firepower and ability to spread damage all over an area (great for eliminating beacon defenders and killing lighter vehicles, damaging rushers before they get in range, etc), but there are much better units for AA work.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
