need more anti air

[<sgt bilko>]

imho.

I am, as someone in here called it, a 'ground pounder'. I always feel that if your team has a good chopper pilot with four guys (or 'clan' as it seems to often be )who can just sit on their arse and do nothing as passengers and/or a decent jet pilot you can dominate a lot of maps. It gets very frustrating to sneak up to a base on foot grab the flag only for some loaded chopper to come along and nab it back in two secs or a plane to constantly bomb the crap out of a location (worst i saw was a map with two jets, one each, somehow they got a hold of our jet and the two of them spent the whole round bombing everyone. Does anyone else think that a few more anti air options/emplacements/rockets etc would balance this out a bit?

I realise that piloting takes skill but just that if you are fairly good at it you can run the show, whereas a decent foot soldier cannot accomplish as much.

On some maps, maybe more.

But more importantly, I just think the AA needs to be more effective. What's the point in even having flares when you don't need them in the first place?

I agree that there should be more anti-air, but not that air should be nerfed.

Use the .50 cals on top of jeeps and tanks. Best AA in the game.

for helis... ever try hitting a plane with one of them? it aggravates me when i go to grab and flag and i get a bomb to the face 2 seconds after its neutralized

I agree, pilots etc certainly have their place and should be rewarded for being skilled but they can sometimes dominate too much and be rewarded too highly. Perhaps more flags indoors or having to be on the ground to capture them or slower capture rates from the sky.

crap i quoted the wrong post..doh

I can often go an entire round w/out being shot down in a plane. It's ridiculously overpowered.

I said they were the BEST AA, not that they were GREAT AA.

i cant fly around around for 2 mins with out hearing that damn locking tone, sometimes it beeps for a full 5mins non stop.

Not that it actually matters though. <.<

[C11.Nemisis]

its annoying to hear the lock tone for 5 straight mins

I say that instead of these stingers, there should be SAM sites. Stingers are good vs. Helis, but abolutley trash vs. Airplanes.

You should absolutely HAVE to be on the ground to capture a flag.. I'd love to see that fixed in a patch.

all it would do is make the BH whores land... not a huge task... even indoor flags, they can just land on the roof

I really don't think there needs to be more AA.

In terms of choppers, with the AA vehicles or mounted AA, it is REALLY EASY to shoot down a chopper. Wait for the flares to release and then shoot the missiles at the chopper, you'll be satisfied and when you see the pilot practically fumbling with the chopper trying to get it out of the sight of the AA.

In terms of jets, it really depends on who is flying the jet. In order for a jet to dodge an AA missile is to A) Use a large building or barrier to get it out of the sight of the AA or B) Flip on the afterburners and high tail it out of range of the AA. Again, it really depends if the jet pilot knows what on his or her tail or whats locking onto it.
