The Flail is nice as it is. BUT it has TWO major weaknesses. NOT flaws in design, just weaknesses. One, it can NOT hit anything that comes without I think it's 15 feet, but it might be ten feet. It can't shot below a line of perpendicular to flat ground, which is why it can't hit anything within a certain distance, which I said, I think is 15 feet. It seems that way after having used it for a day. THE SECOND weakness is against air, it can't aim higher then I believe a 50 degree angle. So a reaver or a Mosquito can stay higher and kill it. TO COUNTER THESE WEAKNESSES, you must team up with another vehicle. A magrider, Prowler. Reaver. Something, anything. Even the new ATV (Can't remember it's name off hand) would be better than nothing. Two of those ATV's, ten feet away from the Flail, and at opposite side of the flail, and deployed would make a VERY nice Artillery comapny. Especially if you have two flails near each other. Set it up like a plus sign. Two flails on the horizontal, and two of those deployed ATV's on the vertical. I wouldn't call it unstopable, but it would be a major fighting team.
