Flail: The Pretty Hate Machine?

[Bismarck]

I'm not sure if the NDA is lifted, and if someone in here posted that it was I'm too lazy to read atm.

*does little dance around the answer*

Flail = pwnage basically

the new weaps can only be resupplied ("refueled") underground or in a base with an equipment module.

Yay NDA lifted.

Flail orbs are very slow, you will be able to see them coming and get the hell out of there. And you better get the hell out of there or else you = pwnt.

I saw flails camping tech plant V terms Rang = pwnt

Heh, good luck getting out of the way of that thing, it has the radius of a cr4, maybe 5 os I'm sure

A friend and I just tested the range of it out. The most northern peak of the VR Vehicle center can hit the southern peak. I don't know how long that is in meters, though.

My only complaint with the flail so far is the insane armor that thing has. They make a lone person way too powerful without a big enough drawback in my opinion. Unless they are taking very heavy fire, they tend to have enough time to pull up in plain view, deploy, turn all the way around, and unload on whatever it is shooting them up till that point. After that they just sit there and shoot at anyone that sticks their head up out of the base. After sitting there for a while they finally take enough damage to warrant an undeploy and run.

The way I think the flail should be is perhaps current lightning armor...maybe a bit more, what's after lightning? Deliverer? Anyways, something about that strength. That would require them to use a bit more tact when taking on a base, and make spotting all the more important. But hey, that's me.

The problem with greatly reducing it's armor is underuseage. In most cases you have to bring one from underground. Thats quite a trip. While it's useful underground it's a vehicles that's meant to have long ranges to work with (still not sure why it was included in an expansion for close combat but meh). It's not that hard to kill. It has little to no defence against air and even being smart with some decis will take it out.

they can't attack shit close to them, and if they are in a position where they can, they will blow themselves up too, so just run right next to it and blow the fuck out of it

I have yet to see them close up. But I am assuming that the big 'bug plasma' balls arching across the sky is a Flail.

Anyway, atleast they finally put a 'dont ask me again' option for the download Core Combat. The simple pleasures in life.
