Idea to fix overpowered planes..

[Fayadi]

Why don't the US is given Patriot anti air missile and MEC and Chinese given the S-300 anti air missile?The anti-air missile is designed to hit jets only and is poor at hitting chopper. Instead of reducing the air units hp...How does that sound? Patriot and S-300 as base defense..People will soon make more kills with aa base defense and Planes will have more challenge as they will have to bomb these anti air defence first

(Edit: of course the jets still can survive with flares and more zig zag turn...More challenge equals more fun for jet pilots.. They have to bomb the air defence first and will make co pilot more useful to bomb these target)

No...unbalancing is a very subjective term... It is a fact that good J 10 pilots have no counter and have ridiculous kill to death ratio.. The poll will at least tell of what people think of the situation..

I have heard news of British fighter jet destroyed in a friendly fire by a Patriot Missile. Yes they are anti misssile and anti air.

you didnt answered my actual question, you plan to make a new poll for anything you seem "unbalanced" ?

YES... I think it would make the game feel more fun and have more feel of modern military if the advanced anti aircraft missile idea is implemented

I think everything needs to be as it was in the 1.03 version, with an additional in-game chat surveillance filter where all vehicle-whiners get a lifetime hardware ban.
Implementing the Patriot is fine, because it can't hit for sh*t anyways.
It would be just like stingers now, and would at the same time be very realistic (yes, Patriot PAC-2 is anti-aircraft).
On the other hand, implementing the S-300 system is just nuts IMO, why not include the Buran while you're at it?

This will result in heavy raping

Re: Idea to fix overpowered planes..

How about making the AA missiles more realistic!

AA missiles are much faster (Mach 3 speed, compared to around Mach 1.3 for airplanes), more agile and more maneuverable than airplanes. That is why we invented STEALTH jets!!!

Also, AA missiles are equiped with a proximity fuse that detonates the explosive when the missiles is close to the airplane (it actually does not have to touch the airplane to explode).

AA missiles also have detection systems that force the missles to self-destruct should they lock into a friendly plane.

The only tactic that jets would have is the use of flares and a little bit more of caution where they go. Making air defenses tougher would also force flyers to support their teams instead of raping bases like the carriers.

Also, jets are pretty fragile... but we will let that one slip by.... at least this time. If you are not able to kill the plane, you should at least be able to put enough pressure on them to force them to change their tactics and work together with ground forces for mutual support. Flyers would have to coordinate the destruction of air defense before attempting any type of bomb run (just like in the real world).

Many of the flyers believe they are aces and that their skill is what helps them get points. How about.... an unrealistic AA missles versus a simplified arcade jet.... this may sound familiar.

No one can complain about how reality works!

Re: Idea to fix overpowered planes..

I would like to see the S-300 indeed lol, that thing is like a AA version of the SCUD missile!

Re: Idea to fix overpowered planes..

or make an AA system like the ones in the carrier, where you can launch salvos or AA missiles, that ought to increase your chances on hitting something. (friendlies too)
