"And if you did manage to hit 1 time.

By the time he came back to you, he'll have gone and repaired again."

Atleast, jet will spend more time on repaired and spend less time to bomb the infantry.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Good idea but EA and DICE is not a big fan of making people happy or "efforts"

You would have to offer them 100 000$ for them to do it :P

i think this can be paraphrased into

This is the reason why bf2 players decreased on servers in the first place due to heavy lost of interest in flying helos because of EA/Dice supplied stingers

This is a very good point.

I think the best bet would still simply be to:
A) Fix the logic on the AA missile tracking
B) Make AA missiles detonate on proximaty, like they do IRL (which would help cut down on lag induced issues).
C) Reduce the armor of the aircraft and leave the damage on the missiles alone.

That, IMHO, would solve everything.
Choppers still wouldn't be ruined by becoming overly vunerable to AA missile fire (they can still take a pounding), but fighter pilots are gonna start the sweat when they hear that lock on tone (as they should!).

How's that sound?

BFV had this. I wonder why it was removed?

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Perfect fix: Fighters don't get bombs and AA is dumbfire. Problem solved.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

I'm a plane whore and the only problem with the missiles is they're completely random. Sometimes they'll follw someone through a full bank and burn turn and nail em and other times when the enemy is flying straight miss completely. The missiles need to be consistent enough so that if you aren't doing evasive maneuvers you should get hit. If you yank on the stick and burn you should dodge the missile, sure they can dodge (which is legit it seems like alot of you are asking for a sure fire just fire and plane dies no skill solution) but to shake the missile off they have to turn hard enough to throw off any offensive maneuver the pilot is attempting.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

one idea i would really like to see, though i know someone will hate this and it will never be implimented, but is to have it so enemies cannot enter your teams air vehicles, more of jets then choppers. The only reason I think it should be like that is for those maps where suddenly the enemy has stolen your jet, well now you are totally screwed since there is nothing to shoot it down with. Go ahead, jump in an AA and try to shoot it down...

I just find it annoying to find on Clean sweep 32 player for example, get going into the game and oh look, they have our jet...well...we're screwed....and thats if you didn't have the problem of teammates TK'ing you to get the jet first...

I started a new thread based on the post I made above.
Fleshed out the idea and presented it in a more formal way.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

"way too overpowering against helicopters..."
Ahh, that is how realism should be. War is hell. In real life, a blackhawk doesn't work alone. It needs attack helicopter support or even jet support for it safety. This is how mature players want to see. A trategy need to develope to ensure safety for helicopter. helicopter and attack helicopter have a reason to work together. Keep them busy on those stinger whores...:laugh:

Well if you're going to play the Realism card then so will I. Where's my RWR and my TWS? How about my AIM-120 Amraam or an AGM-65 Maverick? AGM-88 HARM? Tell you whate, if you want portable stingers then I want an angels 20 ceiling and a 'real' view distance not this POS fog at 200 'BF2 units' up. How about a working throttle system that doesn't take so long to spool down and up? Airbrakes yes?

You can have your AIM-120, and I don't care. Just make sure the opponents can have the similar variant like SD-10 (chinese version) or R-74 (russian version). But I think it pointless to have these medium range missiles since the covered map are litmited. Since I played the grunt all the time, my back yard is bloody ground. If you can have AGM-65, or AGM-88, they should be limited quantity like 1-2 rounds considering these suckers are expensive than the convention air brake bombs you use. If you can have those, I think ground personnel should have ground to air version of mounting on Anti-air armor with these following missiles: AIM-120, SD-10, or R-74. Heck, I can go for Topol-M missile for my air-defend. LOL.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Well the AGM-88 is an anti-radiation guided missile that homes in on search radars from either radar sites or the SA sytems themselves. As for my desires for better missiles - it's not about the range, it's about the high manueverability and insane speed rolled into one package of radar-guided death.
