yeah that happens alot to me too.....one time i was flying a plane and saw 2 choppers hovering fireing at each other...1 enemy and 1 friendly on the left and right of my view.....i flew directly at the enemy chopper on the left, got a lock and fired 2 or 3 missiles at him. i pulled up to fly over him and expected to see the message that i killed him. Instead i got 2 teamkills as the missiles had decided to not bother going for the locked on target and to instead take a sharp turn to the right and target the friendly chopper.

Thrust power = heat... More thrust more heat?

It's soooo irritating when that happens. Definately needs to be fixed.

Re: Air-To-Air Missile Realy Sux(video proof)

that glitch happens because when you fire missiles it locks onto the closest heat source ally or enemy. thats why i have this start(and it has worked a few times) where i have someone chasing me and i see an enemy chopper so i fly by and give it a couple bullets in the side and than i will see some guy tk 2 people and i will get 2 damage assists. lol fun stuff especially when they get all ****ed off about it.

thats stupid if it goes on heat source....that means there is no point to the lock on thing at all as the missile will do what ever it wants anyway....so its just like the stupid missiles in battlefield vietnam phantom planes that you would fire at the plane infront of you that you were chasing and they would just zoom at the ground and blow up an friendly jeap with 3 of your team mates in instead of going for the enemy plane.

if you get a lock on the missiles should go for that target only and not lock on to anything else.

I really hate this too, almost makes me not want to fly planes anymore because it ALWAYS happens to me. And here I am for just thinking I have bad luck with planes. Heh, why do you think plane pilots use the machine gun so exclusively? And yeah, I NEVER fire a missile if I see ANY friendly craft near me. Stupid nonsense like this happens time and time again, and it really ruins the game.

Lock-on should be just that, lock on target and NOTHING else. If it's by heat source, then there's no point to lock on. It would make sense for the lock on to occur and then fire the missile, where then the missile then heads toward the intended target.

Guys You need to know how aa missles work. In real life stingers have an arming period before they can lock on in-flight and explode. You should have launched earlier.

Stinger Missiles do suck. You can launch lots and rarely get a hit.

Anti-Air missiles require SKILL. Practice with them. Just because something "locks on" or is "heat seeking" does'nt mean you can spam them at a player and expect to hit everything.

Re: Air-To-Air Missile Realy Sux(video proof)

Missiles "Re-lock" after firing because of either two reasons: * You have fired the missile at an angle which it can't turn fast enough to hit the target

or * the chopper/plane has dumped flares, which is extremely common as BH's for one, have infinite amounts (on 10 second timer).

Once up to speed, the AA missiles can quickly change direction towards the next heat source, usually being a friendly chopper/plane.

My tip is to wait for them to dump their flares, after about 4 seconds you will regain a lock on THEM, this is when you fire, as their next set of flares won't load for 5-6 more seconds.
