Aircraft are very powerful and I think there is a class missing.
An anti aircraft class with shoulder launched missiles would be good I think.

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Would ruin jets in the game. Everyone would go this kit. Imagine your sat in your jet and 20 infantry are looking on to you along with jets and IGLA's.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Jets would still be able to out-range them and get 5+ K/D with a blindfold on, the current state of aircraft is rather absurd, putting an AA kit in would make jets weaker but they would still rule the game.Originally posted by BloodsportComment

LOL. Whatever.Originally posted by ZekersSneakers
Airfield camping would be so easy. You can hide one trooper in a strategical spot, he can down jets AND CHOPPERS all day long, with no contest. 5 of these babies and the whole land is covered. That means a jet can strike targets once ever 30 seconds (flare reload time), so it will strike a target once every minute. This means jets and choppers will NOT be able to give any air support whatsoever.
This is a stupid idea, which would only work if class numbers were restricted.
The best idea so far has been to give 1 mobile AA per 2 aircrafts in the map.
Which means, that if theres 4 jets and 2 attack choppers in the map, each side would get 1-2 mobile AAs, depending on their tactical positioning, and strategical advantage/disadvantage, and I would also leave Iglas/Stingers, fix chopper flares / missile targeting so flares would work, and not work with precision timing.
IF, there was ever a AA trooper included, his range should be minimal, half of the STINGER sites, which would make it about 160 metres.
EDIT: Jets rule the game because
A) Its on top of the food chain
B) It can ONLY kill, it cant cap flags, it cant help their team
B) People like you dont give a sh!t about jets and ignore them, thus leaving them free to bomb you
Its not jets overpowereness that makes them great, its the apathy, and "its not my problem" attitude most groundpounders have.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
As if there wasn't enough static AND mobile aa sites AND other jets to combat the air power, it'll never happen.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Yes you can help your team. For example if they are capping a flag and a tank comes you bomb it.Originally posted by Chris_Redfield

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Jets should dominate just like in real life. You all complain, look at what's happening with the air from 1942 to Vietnam to BF2 and to 2142. Why dont we have as good air fight anymore, because of YOU, yes YOU, you are the one that whines everywhere in the forums. in 2142 there isnt even a jet. in BF2 upto 1.12 the Jet battles were perfect.Comment

Youre just being picky by looking past the point.Originally posted by SupermarioYes you can help your team. For example if they are capping a flag and a tank comes you bomb it.
A tank comes by, you bomb it and kill the whole flag capping party, you lose.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
What about when there is no FF or you have some precision bombing?

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Ask yourself. Do you heal, rearm, revive and kill for your team whenever adn whenever they need you at all times?Originally posted by Supermario
Obvious answer is no. You help your team, yes but only in a limited timeframe. You can only kill, and you can kill in certain opportunities.
Heres a choice a pilot makes, to kill to benefit himself, or his team. Either way his presence on the battlefield is not as important as a tanks, or actually choppers.
While people are so mad about pilots making 50-80 kills, they forget that unless the pilot kills what kills their team, or bombs the most crucial areas at the most important times, he is of no use to them, and is doing harm only to the STUPIDEST kind of opposing players (the ones who b!tch the most, how ironic).
You let a jet loose, and you can win the game. You let a tank or a chopper loose, and with the support of a squad your team will outcap the other team.
During my playing experience I have seen many rounds when a pilot breaks the 100 kill barrier, yet his team looses. Ive come close to 100, and lost the game. Yet the times I have seen a team lose when they have a talented tanker or a chopper crew loose, are actually less.
Tank, chopper, squad- continuous overpowering support.
Jet- temporary (potential) stalemate breaker, which smart players can avoid.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
And this is why I spend my time on IO servers now.
With a 6.3 k/d using AA I can say with some clarity that Jets are over-powered, always have been, and since DICE stopped giving a crap about BF2, always will be.
Stop being a bunch of whimps, and start playing SF or more IO. The lack of jets you wont regret. BF2 didn't need them.Comment

Re: How about an anti aircraft class?
Mobile AA is a little bit scary if the enemy team has a decent pilot. Stingers are in effective. I don't know but I would guess 3% of the times I've been killed in a plane by G2A, and only then when the other team has had a pilot.
Which in turn is why we have IO.Comment
