Re: AA is just stupid....don't get on a chopper or a plane

As for Helicopters, again if you're a good pilot you will adapt. It's possible to evade the missiles if you flare at the right time and take evasive manoeuvres.

Not true, just not true. I consider myself an expert chopper pilot, and I do all i can do to live through the AA and none of it works.

Hit flares, get low, get behind terrain...doesn't matter what you do, you will be hit 99% of the time...like I said....no skill easy kill AA....

The problem is not that AA works, its that it never misses and sometimes when its going straight and all of a sudden it takes a 90 degree turn...thats just plain bull$hit.

This patch is a perfect example of what happens when companies listen to all the whiners that have little to no skill and want the game to fit thier induvidual needs. What we get in return is a patch that dumbs down a once great game.

I don't want invincible jets....but never missing with AA is total bullcrap as it takes no skill to use AA...left click twice for easy kills...what a joke.

And choppers were moderately easy to take down in 1.12, use a vodnik, jet, other attack choppers, tank, apc...shoot even use the AA, it hit maybe 20% of the time. I admit thats not an acceptable hit rate but now.... 100% is total CRAP! It should be 50-60%....you fire two missiles and one hits....not bad when it takes ZERO skill to left click...

You cannot call a game balanced when expert pilots do everything in thier power to live, and are shot down by something that basically shoots for you...you just left click.

The problem with AA is that it relys on the game to kill your target, not you. The mobile AA like tungusta needs to have power of Essex gun and ALL AA missiles need to hit 50-60% of time. THATS balance people...not this crap.

And don't think im such a vehicle whore. I rarely fly jets and I use tanks and a sniper rifle just as much as I do a chopper.

I have trouble swollowing your claim to expert chopperhood.
Sorry, but I've been bombing around in transports without too many problems and I make no such claims as to my skills.

I suspect that part of your problem may be a lack of tacitcal awareness. You have to be fully aware of where enemy AA postions are, how much range they have, and the best routes to avoid 'em.

Planes are harder to predict, but again, thinking your way through the problem is your best bet. the bests way to avoid a plane taking you out is to fly within friendly AA coverage, take unexpected routes, and generally just not be obvious about it.

No, you can't own like ya used to. You will get shot down. You cannot expect to go entire rounds just wracking up the kills. You have to know your role and do it with the support of your team.

This is how it should be.
Deal with it.

Im waiting for "Pilot's survival guide in 1.2" manual in Tips and Tricks. Someone has to write that.

Anyway, the real loosers are choppers. I found that it's piece of cake to shoot em down with plane misslies now.

LoL. Dream on. No big difference. Especialy if you fly alone in attack chopper. I will tell you a little secret. If you fly alone and if you switch to gunner position AA cant lock you :P. Old trick though.
