    THE AIR DEFENSE STILL SUCKS but the AA

    OK ive fulling tested out all the Air defenses. My analyze is:

    Stingers- STILL FREAKING SUCK they still barely hit anything, first it is still nearly impossible to hit a cobra or any fast choppers at all. even if there flying right at you. I was firing at a chopper for a good minute waiting for the flares to drop before launch i fired a total of 8 rockets from the stinger place ment only one hit in all the time it took to reload and gain a clean lock. If it is ramming towards your stinger placement knowing your there I would always fire the two rockets after flares are dropped ill tell. It is 90% chance youll miss even at that close of a range.

    Jets are freaking impossible to take down first they drop their flares and dissappear into the sky when they return they are trying to gun down your stinger placement and the flares have reloaded. Again it is still only possible to use another jet to take down other jets.

    AA-This is the only goddamn air defense that actual was improved Ive never gun down so many blackhawks and cobras with this. Especially cobras i mean sometimes all four rockets miss but rarely. I love it. The AA is great again though no match againest jets still choppers should be scared definitely.

    But heres what really got on my nerves last night this is why Im writing this EA must fix the goddamn stinger nests and the Battleships air defenses those two are really F**Ked still. On maps that have no AA's the cobras go nuts why base hovering killing 15 people with no fear because the stingers still suck. AA maps I hardly ever see anyone hovering they know better. but here.

    USSEX- A cobra was hovering right over the ship not more then 30 ft from the gun placement i jumped in got a lock after the flares dropped and this chopper was not trying to avoid the lock but strafeing left to right just alittle just trying to continue to hover and spawn kill. I FIRED ALL 8 ROCKETS that it has at POINT BLANK FREAKING RANGE AND ALL 8 MISSED. It was the most incredible pile of ******** this game has to offer. I was SO pist after that then i decide to use the gun finally the chopper paid attention to me now because i was finally actually a threat doing damage and it blew me up with the guided missile. BS

          I feel your pain.
          I was gunning tonight on wake and I think I got plenty of assists but no kills. Now heres the thing, try the rockets against the Bots in single player and you see that when you lock on and fire your guy shouts things like "Missile Released" "Fox one fox one" and so on and you actually see and hear the shot every time, and can hear the impact too. So is it just badly done netcode for the seeking missiles, as I'm sure they would be fine over LAN. Anyone have a LAN and tested these it would be interesting to find out.

          Personally I wish the AA was as good as in Point of Existance for Battlefield Vietnam, now that stuff was some serious AA. Once you picked up a target on your radar thing just -foooosh- and you would hear the explosion. Good times, good times.

              Your just not shooting them right... :P you said yourself you fired at them "head on". Now... where do you think a heat seeking missle is gonna try and go when fired? To the exhaust of the nearest heat source....correct? And where would this heat source be on a jet or chopper? In the REAR! Correct!!! Whether you agree or not the missles are trying to target the rear of the chopper and thus zigging right around it. Try firing after they pass and you have a clean shot at thier tailpipe. And ffs don't lock them until your rdy to shoot, or your just asking for the pilot to look for an active stinger site and destroy it. AA does work when used correctly. It may not be the one shot kill you want though, sorry. But if the devs wanted that, we'd all have shoulder fired stingers and guided SAM sites. (I'd love the guided SAMS back though!) If you ask me, I say throw out all the seekers and bring back the unguided "straight shooter" missles.

                I find the stingers effective against choppers, not like it should be but they arent so bad. they should be able to take down a chopper when it's passing by, now they just fly next to the chopper.

                Against planes, I even don't try anymore, only lucky shots take out planes, almost impossible to take them out with those crapy things.

                BUT stingers are 100% effective and will never miss team choppers , they miss the enemy by miles going directly to a friendly chopper

                  Hey, dont discorage the kid, last night I was in a jet and was taken down by a little 2-missile AA tower, it was the first time I got shot down by ground AA in almost a few weeks because I was ignoring it so much that I went straight toward it and the missile hit my nose by luck.

                  Hey, never give up kid, every once 50-100 death in that death trap AA turret you might get luckey and kill a jet!

                    @Orrick, what do you mean by AA, you say the Stingers suck then go on later about how the AA is the best? Are you talking about the AA-tanks?

                      Ya today I had an enemy missle kill the plane I was chasing and all I had to do was use the guns to finish him off. There was no reason for the guy behind me to even miss he was right on my ass.

                        bf2 i can try the lan thing out, i love how he yells out Fox one FOx 2, i wonder if thats also in the jets, it would be sweet. I wish you guy would yell out commands like in COD2 demo, that would be cool. Got one 2nd floor or Tango down, yeeehawwww HEADSHOT.

                          Oh and another reason to use all those stingers

                          When you see two jets in dogfight, if you decide to fire a missile at the enemy you might just as well fire it at your friend, infact if its a J10 chasing your friend its very effective at killing your friend.

                          You have no idea how many times I was chasing someone when the essex killed the other jet for me because he was trying to shoot me, and I got damage assist for it too

                            Orrick very badly needs to stay in, or return to, school.
                            I'm hoping that english isn't his first language.
                            Seriously.

                            FYI, as far as I can tell ALL the AA Missiles use the same seeking code. That code is definatly a little on the FUBAR side.
