AA lock bug

[Batausu]

I was on Dalian Plant trying to shoot down an attack chopper coming. It was at long distance when I was getting a lock on him. The pilot drops his flares, and then moves out, so I loose the lock. Then he comes back at me, but this time I couldn’t get a lock on him. He drops some flares again; I could lock on them, but not on the chopper. I waited a couple of seconds until they got dissipated, but still no lock possible on the chopper, even though the chopper was close. I fired the missiles anyway, wrong of course…
In the end, he got me with his powerful missile.
I hope this get fixed in the patch.

Re: AA lock bug

Happened to me too, in a stinger and a helo is 75m in front of me 20m above the ground on a clear day, flares drop and I wait until another lock on and I fire my missiles, they miss of course :laugh: and now I can not lock on at all. I even went in and out of the stinger site and still nothing.

I checked and still could fire my missiles off.

Re: AA lock bug

its because of a new hack. at least im pretty sure its a hack. It essentially lets them toss out LOADS of flares. But it glitches server side, so these hackers are still locked on. then the other people u cant lock on.

Re: AA lock bug

I am seeing this bug constantly with the AA on a carrier. I don't see any flares going out, but I cannot lock even though they are quite close at times!!

Also did they reduce hit points of the AA? I get popped by airplanes instantly, you have NO chance against a plane hitting you with their gun, it is even worse than before. Terrible since the worst part of this game is how grossly overpowered planes are, and they just made it worse by making AA worse...

are u on crack dude? or do u just sux that bad. The AA is so freakin sweet now, u can take down jets and choppers with ease, though it dosnt take much, if ANY SKILL (something u might not have at all). So the point is, ur just a noob, move around and shoot, dont stand in one spot when ur in that AA, learn to move while shooting, if not, then ull never progress beyond shooting while just moving ur mouse. And also wait for them to drop there flares, OR just shoot 2 right of the bat when u get the lock THEN if he drops his flares before they hit, if u still can, wait till u get another lock on then blast away at the free kill.

Re: AA lock bug

Um, did you notice that none of these messages are about mobile AA, and all of them are about stationary AA? How do you "move around" in the AA on a carrier, which my message was talking about, or the stinger, which the other messages were talking about? You should read messages more carefully and think before posting, so you don't look like an idiot like me.

The AA has serious locking problems now.


1) The position of the AA on carrier results in half of your shots going into carrier... they should raise it slightly

2) If DO have a lock on the enemy, and there is any friendly nearby, 100% of the time it will totall ignore your lock and go straight to friendly. 100%!! It is obviously a bug. It is even more noticible now, since the missiles turn faster. You can have lock on enemy straight in front, and the missile will arc hard for the friendly.

3) It appears they reduced hit points of AA in carrier, because they get popped even faster by guns on planes. Why doesn't EA playtest AA more versus planes? They would see stationary AA on carrier has no chance at all against planes coming in on them from a distance. It should be at least 50/50 chance, with a proper balance of gun effectiveness and hit points. EA people, just hop on a server and see what happens yourself with the planes.

Re: AA lock bug

They should position the AA to reflect reality and restrict rotation/aiming movement so the gun/missiles can *not* hit carrier (one would hope just like in real life).
