I just had something strange happening on jabal.

While sitting in the AA i got disconnected, nothing strange so far.
I came back and picked up a HAT kit to take out these apcs coming to west beach.

distance to the apc was ~ 500m , but the missile exploded in midair after ~200m

After reload i tried again and it happend the same.

Before, while sitting in the AA i recognized that jabal has some limited lockon distance so its not possible to lock the hueys on the carrier.
Were there also some changes made to the HAT?
The reason maybe was that i took HAT after AA :confused:

If I remember correctly, theres an invisible barrier between land and the carrier to stop missiles from hitting Hueys before take off. Works both ways so you cant shoot off the carrier either.

Not a bug ;)

Yep not a bug. The invisible wall was put there so people would stop raping the carriers and the US team would get a chance to get out.
