AA missiles suck, they are even worse then before. This thing should be made more efficient cause nobody can touch a good pilot in an airplane and that misses the point of the game.

The AA guns are pointless they need to bring back the AA gun fron 1942 at least it looked cool when you used it

I wish you could lock on to friendlies. If we could, and we shot at them, we'd probably miss and take down our enemies by accident.

It appears there's a problem with the netcode rather than the actual AA. I played singleplayer for a long time before playing online, and I could immediately notice a massive difference in quality of AA.

The biggest problem with aa missiles (and for that fact jets missiles too) is that the proximity fuse is missing so the missile will fly within a meter of the jet, lose track and go on to tk someone on your team. What DICE needs to add is a larger blast radius and a proximit warhead so the missiles dont lose track every two seconds.

I also agree that in SP the missiles and AA turrets are way more effectiv (although bots dont try to dodge them either.)

I think they are worse than before, I used to be quite good with AA now they just miss.

I personally recommend using the TOW launcher as helicopter AA, 1 shot will total any attack helicopter, allowing you to finish it off with any handheld weapon.

Re: So.. No TK fixes, and AA guns are still useless?

i really dont care any more i just play the game one or two hours a night when im wasted and dont really expect anything great from ea, if any thing good comes from this game it will me a mod but this is their way of getting every one to buy the expansion pack all they wanted to do was get people at the highest rank so people will want more ranks, that was the reason of the patch

WOW!... you arent the only one bright enough to see this. Check a post I made about the patch and I basically lay it all down like you have but in more detail. I guess we both put together: A: that "patch" didnt fix hardly anything. B: The 140+ fixes promised was a major exaggeration. C: SF release date being only a month away, they release a "patch" that fixed hardly anything and threw unlocks ranks and medals at everyone so theyd get bored with the bf2 and buy sf. In all actuality almost every single post I find that says "i love the patch" a few sentences later talks about the jump in ranks or the unlocks they have now. Too bad so many people are blinded by some rank hikes and weapons thrown their way. If EA hadnt put that rank change I highly doubt anyone would be accepting this patch because they would see it didnt patch much at all.

Ya AA missles still suck

Re: So.. No TK fixes, and AA guns are still useless?

I think the biggest improvement was the AA's on the Jets. I barely ever miss an enemy jet when having a good lock, and wait until he got rid of his flares.
I have also noticed that AA missiles don't lose their target as easy as before. At least not if you have the right timing. Now you can tell the difference between a boon pilot and an expert :)
I have also downed several jets from the ground a few nights ago. You must wait for them to pass over you however, and also wait for them to release their flares. You people complaining about AA not hitting are wrong imho, and you have not tried hard enough. Because if you had tried you would have noticed the changes.
I get hit by AA much more often since the patch came out. They usually don't destroy my aircraft, but get me down to red, and smoking so that I have to focus on repairs for the next minutes. During this time I am very vulnerable to enemy aircrafts, which should be the main counterpart to other Aircrafts. Not ground to air missiles.
Of course, if your team doesn't have a good pilot, and the other team does have one, you are effed... Logic isn't it? You shouldn't be able to totally counter enemy air assets just with AA. You will need your own birds in the air. I am glad EA didn't overpower the AA missiles or else it would be a complete nightmare for choppers.
I know that if you don't use countermeasures when being locked on you are dead meat most of the time.

just my 2 cents...
