Since 1.03, the AA has been slightly improved. I can hit planes that are flying strait, and choppers trying to strafe me. However, at times, the AA is still hit or miss. The first time i fired up 1.03, i jumped into stinger emplacemnt to try it out and voila, 2 kills against a cobra flying accross wake island, and then another kill on a blackhawk (too bad no more blackhawk whores). However, every other time i jumped into an aa emplacement after that, i havent been able to hit sh1t. I've also a number of things wrong with AA.
1. The AA missles are too weak.
Yesterday on Dalian and on Op. Clean Sweep, two blackhawks flew 30m away from me at 5mph, I hit both of them two times before they realized what was happening. Yet neither of them died (actually one crashed but i didnt get the kill). The missles should do at least more than half damage on a plane or chopper lets say at 60%. This would force chopper pilots to either repair or fly even more cautiously and less aggressive.
2. The AA missles don't follow their targets.
Countless times, the missles fired at one target seems to never reach the target. If you ask me, i'd say missles are more agile than airplanes. A simple manouver such as banking left or right should not affect the accuracy of the missle. Instead, the missle should be able to hit it spot on. It is absolutley ridiculous how I fire 4 missles from my su-34 at an f-15, barely flying at 600mph (or whatever the units) and only 1 missle hits. He did not flare or anything, all he did was bank right. Either speed up the missles or make them more accurate.
3. The missles follow the heat source directly.
To make them more accurate, you can make the missle predict where the aircraft is goign to be so that it would fly in a path that would hit the plane at a certain point rather than follow the plane. If someone can help me explain this better please do so. I remember watching a video of a stinger missle shot against a jet.
4. Make the lock on range farther.
On 100% view distance, the plane does not come into locking range until its about 350 meters out. Real stniger missles can lock onto targets miles away. I say increase the range to about 500meters even if you can't see the plane. THis way, a lock on can be achieved and fired before the plane flys halfway accross the map.
On a side note, if you have a lock on and fire the missle, and then immediatley loose the lock on, do the missles keep following the plane? or do they drop off the target?
