those missiles are sh*t, they never were any good. Might as well throw rocks at the planes and choppers

Re: Ground to Air missiles since 1.12 patch

Has anyone else noticed a HUGE improvement? I can now take down planes with ease with the IGLA/Stinger. It's amazing!

I don't know if it's huge, but I tend to agree with this.

I've brought down three jets. Two of those were on bombing runs on AA and missles ran straight at jets.

On the flip side, helis seem to be harder to kill.

I'm sick of these damn AA's. I spent the whole of one game (20mins or so) doing basically nothing other than AA to try and get the award and defend a base constantly under attack. Never got the award, died about 20 times from enemy aircraft bombing me, fired around 100 missiles got 3 kills and about 15 lots of team damage even though i had tone on the enemy. They really suck big time. The amount of times i had a missile heading straight for the opposition only for it to change 90 degrees and hit our own plane/helicoptor. What the hell do you have to do to get that award?

Get in a mobile AA and drive around. The kills do not have to be in the air.

I get more jet kills with the tanks than the missiles.

The REAL purpose of the AA sites is to **** off the enemy pilots with a high-pitched squeal, and maybe make some noobs bail out of a helo for no reason. The actual missiles are just there to look good.

Re: Ground to Air missiles since 1.12 patch

lets see...Saturday on Leviathen I hopped in the Stinger Mount on the MEC island and locked on the Enemy heli having a fight with an MEC chopper. Locked-on, Fired, Straight to the friendly, 2 TK's, enemy never used flares....Yeah, big improvement.

Do you normally toss grenades at an enemy soldier that is engaged in a fight with one of your fellow team mates at close range? Cause that's basically what your doing by firing a heat seeking missile into a helo fight... a little common sense could have avoided you those TK's.
