Decent Pilots and New AA

[LoKi.]

Currently I am looking forward to the improved AA and reduced Armour of aircraft.

I am hoping that they make it difficult for the average / noob pilots to stay in the air.

That way only the skilled / experienced pilots will be able to stay alive and hopefully it will discourage the idiots from grabing the air assets.

We can all have fun on the ground knowing that the air is not going to dominate the round due to the fact a team has noob pilots while the other teams good pilots rape the ground.

any other thoughts ?

It's not going to happen, they are trying to improve the AA as much as they can. However the problem lies in the netcode, check single player or a lan game and see how much more deadly the AA is.

Re: Decent Pilots and New AA

Hes right just tried a LAN game both of us had a 3 ping from one main pc in the house.. Guess what the AA came right after my plane... I still could dodge it but it was alot more difficult then in MP....

As far as weakening the air craft, how on earth is this suppose to improve the helicopters/planes? It doesn't its going to basically nerf something that isn't even all that powerful to begin with. Alot of pilots feel the same way as I do.. Improve the AA all day long but don't make it so that a FAV can shoot me down any faster then it already can.... And firing Anti Tank rockets at a helicopter please get real those things do have a limited range on them... If you want to help the average player add a freaking Anti air craft tracking rocket to one of the kits.... That's what people are upset about if anything... The fact that a .50 cal does more damage to a helicopter then a linebacker's primary fire meaning the little machine guns on it is insane.... The Linebacker's suck against helicopters and so does the Seawiz on the carriers.... The primary fire should do alot more damage so that some skill is actually used rather then people just firing 10 rockets out and then running away....

True!!!The primary fire should do alot more damage so that some skill is actually used rather then people just firing 10 rockets out and then running away....

It works fine in PRMM. So, there is an obvious way to fix it... I mean, it has been fixed.

Re: Decent Pilots and New AA

The reduced armor on the choppers I'm alright with; And I'm fine with them making the AA missiles better too, as long as they don't make it impossible to evade! Good pilots - and I say this mostly about the fighter jets - should still be able to evade AA missiles.
It's just that the weapon damage ratios for choppers are so messed up. Like mentioned in another post, the .50 cals will do more damage to choppers than the linebacker main gun. That and a tank shell to the side of a BH only does about half damage.

Yup. I agree.
Lookin forward to it in terms of choppers too.
