With the TR MAX AV Pounder you are unlikely to usually hit an aircraft. But if you do, and it is worth it when the ESF has its nose within 15 meters or so, depending on skill, it will do much more damage (per experience) than the Burster. But the Pounder has the arced trajectory so it is rather difficult to get the aim right, unless the ESF is coming right at you and relatively close, although I've had some lucky hits beyond 15 meters, probably out to 30+.

Keep in mind, though, you don't want to fire that AV Pounder at aircraft without considering where the Pounder shell that misses is going to land. If it is likely to land where you buddies are, that's not the best idea to try. Still, it can save your life, and it hits probably as hard at 3-5 Burster shells if it contacts.
