Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

[Yezo]

Well this wont apply to the new pilots, but personally playing as both AA and Fighter Pilots I have a very new prospective on the new patch. Most of the pilots I notice are firing their flares and then having my AA missles still lock onto them and trace them eventually killing them. When I'm fighter pilot I hardly notice it, I fire my flares and go.

However the new AA is actually EASIER to avoid. This time you dont have to do any spinning manuvers. This time its just pointless they'll lock and track you. A verticle Z loop with Afterburner, and flares (if it still isn't gone by then) at the top or peak of the loop will loose any AA missle.

I do this all the time.

If you have a fighter on your 6:00 its probably going to be me, and in which case you will want to do any sort of manuver except going in a linear motion.

I don't know about you, but the AA missles seem to be the same.

I'm not a very good pilot but I was finding that the AA Missle that has the orange reticle (i'm noob) on Wake Island is horrible.

Re: Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

I"ve noticed that when the AA is locking on to me, and I'm locking onto a pilot infront of my jet, the AA missiles hit HIM... heheh... happened 2wice... they flew right past me, and right up his ass... LOL

Re: Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

I found nothing different compared to the old patch. Pop flares, dive with them, look back, find where the missiles coming from, turn around and hunt him down.

They seriously need some drastic changes to the missiles. They can't hit me and i can't hit **** with it either.

Re: Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

I've been finding hitting jets with AA difficult because I wait for the flares to pop and go away before firing, which makes the jet out of range or past the treeline by that time.

Re: Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

I am a crapy pilot, but got in a jet for an hour or so on wake island, not one AA misile hit me.

On operation clean sweep, all points where taken and every mec guy was dead, exept the one in the JET (bomber jet , less manouverable then normal jet) , I was in the AA vehicle, and every AA site on the map had someone in it, nowbody could take him down, after some time he was taken down by another jet.

Those AA misiles are as crap as they where in 1.02

Re: Are you a fighter pilot? Tired of the New AA?

I really feel bad now. I HAVE been shot down by stingers on a couple of occasions. I can stay in the air now but I still suck at evasive action. Still haven't a clue with the choppers.

They lied to you? Again?

You anti-EA/Dice babies make me sick. You make it sound like they owe you a prompt patch for every friggin bug.

Go cry in a corner.

The AA missles are exactly the same and i don't go on peoples 6's because by the time i get there i have already killed them.

It's not an unreasonable demand to have a few of the key game elements working for a game you spent $50 on and if they don't work than to have the company at least attempt to fix them in the 3 months since the games release.

They do seem to blow now, before it was pretty easy to dodge the missles but now they have barely any maneuverability. The increased speed just makes them travel on a straight path without being able to effectively guide to the target.
