The Grail ignores flares
I had an assistant on the ground with a grail. I told him to count to three out loud and then shoot. He shot, i INSTANTLY released flares but regardless was hit.
Second time, i released flares a second in advance. Regardless, i was hit.
Third time, on greasy mullet there is a burning wreck of an APC central to the level. i hoverd behind it and my companion shot me with the grail. It followed the wreck flames, then turned to me. Regardless, i was hit.
Secondly, i hovered off to the side of it by approximately 10 meters. The Grail turned sharpely and then hit me.
Thirdly, i hovered way off to the side of it by about 30-ish meters. Regarldess, i was hit.
During one of the tests where i hovered 30-ish meters off to the side, something odd happaned. The grail missed me once. HOWEVER, i only missed me by a foot, as i saw it go past my cockpit. Even worse, 2 other air viechles in the air, behind me, reported being locked. A Blackhawk was locked temporarily, then an A-10. The A-10 was shot down. This means that the range of the Grail must be able to cover 3/5 of a level the size of greasy mullet and still down an air craft moving horizontaly from it.
All above tests, i was in a Cobra
The Grail turns WAY TOO SHARP
A companion of mine was shot down by myself. I waited until he was out of my view distance scale for about 3 seconds, then I shot. He, in his F-18 reported that he had been locked. He dropeed flares, then turned 90' away from my position. Regardless, he was hit and exploded on impact.
The same test was tried with the more manouverable F-16, also. The same result was found.
My companion flew over me at low level. I fierd the Grail at the most aquward angle for a missile to fired at. With my own eyes, i saw the Grail Turn 90 Degrees and kill him. Also, while in a Cobra, i experienced a missile turn 90' and hit me, twice. I have also seen it do this in tail chase view.
It is not only the Grail itself that is overpowered, but the whole Anti Air kit.
The Anti Air kit consists of A knife, an assault rifle(M16, G3, AK-47, depending on the side), binoculars, Anti air weapon(1shot+2), Field dressing.(possibly a smoke granade, cannot remember. This may be exclusive to the Heavt AT only).
Forgive me for being realistic, but could you carry that much?
The Heavy AT comes with a knfie, a pistol(1+4 clips), Heavy AT weapon(SRAW, Eryx depending on team. Shots 1+1), binoculars, 1x smoke granade and a field dressing. The Fact that, to allow the carrier of the heavy AT to be mobile at all, they have issued him witha pistol because, realistcly, it would be far to heavy to carry one And on the the sake of gameplay, so he isnt very effetcive against Armour and INF. It gives more people incentive to think
"Well, that Blackhawk is messing us up near Mosque. All i got is a G3. Hang on, if i get the grail, i still get a G3 and i get three garenteed Blackhawk kills! SWEET!"
From what i have gathered from this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-7#Development_History
, it seems that the Grail is quite short range. You may want to argue that 'Jets and Choppers in PR fly that low'. This is true, but this is the only way they can see targets. Also, distances in BF as a whole are not accurately protrayed. What is approximately 1meter, in BF is about 3Meters. In terms of scale, it is unbalanced as it has almost no distance limit. Few levels, in their entierity, cover the range of the grail anyway.
This too me, the Anti Air Kit seems a little unfair and unrealistic.
The Grail especaily is VERY overpowered and as i like to call it,
'The M4 of the Air'.
...mongol...
DOWN WITH THE GRAIL
