Anti Air Vehicles

[Sniperdoc]

You know... I'm gonna go on a rant here... just warning you.

I find it pathetic that the Tunguska AA Vehicle is sooooooo poor at damaging helos?!?! That thing would tear appart a HIND-D!!!! It could take a Blackhawk down in less then 5 seconds if you're hitting it properly. And the other vehicles... 30mm cannons... come the F on!!!!!! They'd STILL take down any of the helos in no time... I hope the patch fixes that shortcoming. Any AA vehicle should take down Aircraft in general in no time... that's why you have tanks... to take out the AA vehicles.

They're making the missles lock on better in the patch.

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

Glasseye, do you actually play games or just post and admire sigs?

yes. and yes.

you may find it difficult to comprehend but some ppl (like myself) are capable of doing more than one thing at the same time and some other ppl (like yourself) are not.
example: where you can only cut & paste the same attempt at humor, i can browse forums while working.

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

Supposedly all the AA has been improved in the patch, although has it improved enough to take down good jet pilots...?

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

good question , because a good antiair gunner , properly positioned can take down a BW or Cobra , but jets are mutch harder to get , the better missile lock should (hopefully) take care of it

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

ah we'll see , if the dedicated AA still can't hit **** a good pilot will have to sweep the skies

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

A good idea would be a class similar to AT , but with a better individual weapon and a shoulder fired AA missile like Stinger and strella .

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

But you see... I don't think there's really any problem with the missles... IMO they behave ok... not great... but at least ok. The amount of damage they do... that's another topic... BAH!!!

It's the AA guns that kill me... (or not)... Cause it seems choppers are anything BUT impervious to them, which doesn't even come close to balancing the game. As a matter of fact, I think it really UN-balances the game. What's the point of having dual 30mm cannons on a vehicle if it doesn't do squat to a Blackhawk which really isn't even armored against 30mm shells... small arms fire yes... 30mm shells... h3ll no!

It is my opinion that if an airplane or a chopper is dumb enough to stay in the AA vehicle's radar long enough to get a lock, then that pilot should pay dearly... if not... with their life. Especially while a vehicle that's capable FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED 30mm rounds per minute.

In the same category would be the Phalanx system on the Aircraft carrier... just so everybody understands... the Phalanx system is built to take out MISSILES... and it shoots 4,500 rounds per minute, and those are 20mm Uranium Depleted, Tungsten Cored Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) rounds. (My brother used to fix those, and I used to fix those ppl that got hit by stuff like that... :) so I know a little about that :) hehehe

Anyways... everyone have a nice weekend... I'll be playing some America's Army.

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

I gave up on the Tunguska one night when I had it on Kubra @ the low middle spawn that gives you a Tank and AA and a couple jeeps. A group was BH whoring to great effect that night and so the BH comes flying at me just outside the base after flying from the MEC airfield through the dam tunnel. It's about 50 feet off the ground and just flies right over me while I'm shooting it and lighting it up w/ cockpit alarms [the pilot must of said "oh wait no problem, it's not a line backer.]

So I'm hitting it the whole way in thinking I got him owned, and then it goes over me and I'm shooting point blank at it's belly as it begins to hover then I launch all 4 missiles at close range, most hit the chopper but nothing !!!! he does limp away to re-arm at the pad but jeez! it was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen especially since Blackhawk Down was a true movie/ story of how a BH was dropped by 1 PRG round.

No, if it was it would be 100% homming at which point flares and newbi jet pilots just get ****ed off.

The truth is in real life AA missles that are heatseeking will loose target lock when the heat is scattered by spinning followed by a hard turn.

Re: Anti Air Vehicles

if they improve the AA misiles I will be very happy, the only problem I have with one of the AA vehicles is that MEC vehicle, when sitting in the thing you can't see anything because of that thing in your sight, this realy sucks

likewise heatseekers wont activate any klaxons in the target.
