Faulty MiG?

[DarkyShines]

I was on a Euro Force server today, i can't remember the map name but had oil cisterns with holes in near MEC Airbase.

Anyway, i could not hit anything for the life of me with the AA Missiles.

They were flying dead ahead, no flares deployed and they either went straight through or curved passed just before they hit.

It happened against the Apache, Eurofighter, Havoc...i just gave up and quit the server.

Anyone know why this happened?

Occasionally I get into a heli and it will let me roll in only certain angle increments, and the thing will shake like crazy when you try moving it.

Yep... Sometimes your grenades wont explode, they just simply dissapear. Or missiles wont folow the target even when you got a clear lock on. Or your LGM just dissapears in the thin air after you shoot it. Or you shoot a guy 5 times in the face with an SVD and he takes no damage. Or you have to knife a guy 6-7 times to kill him. The list goes on...

That happens with me in jets sometimes... Impossible to use your MG when that happens

smokescreen is the map name.

Were you trying to fire missles at the eurofighter and the TigerHap?
- if you were the answer is that the eurofigher has a very tiny hitbox, even less than the j-10 so your best bet is using the forward cannons and gunning him down, missles from jets rarely hit those things unless you have a very low ping.
-now about hitting the Tiger with missles. BAD IDEA to even lock on choppers on the first place. You are better off putting on the bombing hud and just aim ahead of the chopper with the machine guns because like all the choppers, missles RARELY hit them.

So basically what im saying is that its not a faulty mig...but you are more of a missle dependant fighter when your targets rarely take any air to air missles. My suggestion is to try to get better using just the guns to take out targets ESPECIALLY choppers

Huh?

Re: Faulty MiG?

Huh?

If you try turning with the pitch or roll axes, it will shudder and lock up. The rudder and throttle are fine somehow.

Re: Faulty MiG?

Is this maybe just euroforce, never had those problems with regular bf2 and special forces, except dodgy hit detection maybe with guns...

Re: Faulty MiG?

But the guy was flying perfectly straight, i was right behind him.

And im not that good with the guns, it tends to miss a lot

not really. if you are talking about how the chopper shakes, then it is because the TIGER has a heavy nose which makes it tip down ALOT and very unstable. It is however really good with the guns and being able to fly away from tv range faster.

Now if you are talking about the jets however, there is nothing wrong. The hitbox on the Eurofighter is small and can avoid just about everything but ground AA unlike the other jets which has a mid size hitbox, except maybe the j10 which also has a small one

Even if they fly straight, the odds of you hitting a eurofighter using missles with a high ping is almost slim to none. As I have mentioned, guns are your best bet in hitting any jet with small hitbox and you can sneak up behind them also

Why do people yell "Nerf J-10", Nerf Eurofighter dammit! lol.

Re: Faulty MiG?

could it be that the pilot bailed out? and then ur missiles dont lock on anymore maybe

No. The Eurofighter is fine because it has a big weakness in speed.
