Stingers: Useless or Underappreciated?

[ApexAZ]

I remember in BFV they had more of a chance for hitting Friendlies, believe it or not. Many times I would target the heli/jet and fire only to have the missile turn 90 degrees inside my launcher and attack a heli I can't even see. At least now they go fairly straight until they wildly miss and attack a friendly. lol But with BFV, if you got a hit the heli damn well knew it, and planes were fair game.

DCX (the later releases) had a guided missile built around an invisible cone that would move towards any enemy that entered it's radius. It actually worked fairly well if it did look a little strange (kind a like a stuttering lag when in the air). Planes would out-maneuver if they turned in time, and the target had to be in a certain radius of your crosshair for it to track on, but for the most part it worked like a slightly better DC stinger (which only shoots straight).

Well, as long as it works that's all I'm concerned about.

You know there is something wrong when someone who loves to fly says there's something wrong with the AA in this game heh.

I don't want it to be so powerful that flying is no fun, but you shouldn't have absolutely no risk to yourself either.

Stingers work against the worst pilots only.

The best stinger user in the game, whoever he is, has zero chance of bringing down really good pilots, but really good pilots have 100% chance of killing him.

If I owned the company which manufactured stingers, I'd consider asking EA and Dice to stop making my product look like a piece of ****.

Stingers are definately underappriciated by those who are too stupid to have patience with them.

the stingers bug me... tone gets on my nerves, usually end up circling around and gunning em down. I think they need less stingers... but they need to be better... i cant fly anywhere without... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. God its annoying when being followed by a jet and after every evasive maneuver you fly right into a stingers range, but yeah basically stingers wont hit me unless i get lazy lol, but those tunguskas... god its just missile after missile, i dont know how but some times those missiles follow me through a loop or I pull as sharp as turn as possible and they hit me, its like when i try to dodge them they hit me, but when i just fly casually they dont lol

There should be a diff tone for Stingers and enemy Aircraft.

You missed the point entirely.
