missile shield and AAA on jabal

Could you reduce the missile shield on Jabal, as it is the attack helos and Lavs can attack dam and surrounding areas from inside the shield in total view of any enemies and in complete safety. stand on dam with sam kit, see helo, fire and missile explodes some 20 mtrs out. IMHO, the shields need only be around 200mtrs max from the carrier.
Also, could you move the AAA guns further north as the fog does not allow effective defence for either jabal or dam, or reduce the fog so at least the south side of the mountains and all of jabal can be seen from the emplacements.

Putting the AAA closer to dam will turn them into super cannons. They're put there for base defense, and should stay there.

Please reduce that shield or move the carrier further out. Way too many times i saw LAVs camping the beach from within the magical force field of invulnerability. It is really annoying and an exploit just like glitching into buildings and shooting out.

You do realize this map will most likely be switched with the 4km version so there is no real point...

fair enough, but mec main is not a target in the game. i dont think the AAA should be moved that far so as to to attack ground targets, just enough to cover jabal from air attack, with the correct placement they could be effective against threats from the air but have no effect against ground targets.
But even so, with good teamwork, AAA with a spotter can easily suppress/destroy ground targets on the mountains BVR. its the air targets that cant be see till the last min or that fly so high they are invisible that are the problem.

to fix this is a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny teeeny tweeny fix

its like a change of 0.1kb of data
all ya have to do is lower the object that has the defence shield so that the part of the sphere that is visible (in the editor) is slightly smaller.

I
suggested this same thing a few weeks ago and totally agree.
Currently the DoD just ruins gameplay, and like Rudd said, its an easy fix.

never heard about that new weapons, its being used by US force since 0.6' lol
Adding AAA on dam will just be a waste, JABAL is fine as it is
IMO if you put AAA on dam, APC will camp the Ocean and shoot from the water under the canon so it wont change a thing

first off, i NEVER said add AAA to dam, i said and i quote "

secondly, lav's already camp dam from inside the missile shield, it happens many times and the Mec cant combat them, also the helos can get well within view distance and are protected from being shot down by the shield almost entirely to the dam landing. surely that's why they have flares ????
