Another 1.2 Patch Anti-Air Video

as you can see here, the AA can be "stored" around the oil tower, it circulates untill it either runs out of steam and explodes, or an aircraft flies within the 300m range of it, in which case it shoots away from the flame, and toward the "hot" aircraft.

additionally; the anti aircraft missiles do not just act crazy like that spinning around on this map, in some scenarios on other maps, we have been flying the chopper together, and this "fizzy firework" effect has been happening around our flares that we drop.

amusing to say the least.

Yeah, the patch brings more Battlefield-style hilarity to the game. I love setting traps with the oil towers, even if it is kinda lame. I've had a missile circling around one tower, then veer off and start circling around another tower. Wouldn't it be cool to set up a network of missile towers all trading missiles, then teamkilling all of your jets and ejecting you from the server? Fantastic.

Yeah... let's hope this is adressed by the hotfix for 1.2 that they'd BETTER be working on.

whats more worrying is the "fizzing firework" effect on other maps - those without "built in map heat sources", whereby the AA missiles can fly around your flares when dropped, skipping from one to another, and even end up hitting you having run out of "hot" flares to chase. the directional change some of the missiles make you would not believe, we are talking 180/360/720 degree snap movements in the space of a few metres.

Yeah, like when you're flying and shoot at an enemy helicopter but the missile passes it, heads straight for a friendly helicopter in front of it, then suddenly does a 90 degree turn to hit a jet you had no idea was following you.

I sure hope there is a hotfix to fix all this crap in the patch.

Re: Another 1.2 Patch Anti-Air Video

I'm tempted to play a few rounds of BF2, simply to do that and nothing but that. But with mobile AA, that way I get 4 missiles stored, and maybe have one on each tower in Zatar. I'll be the ultimate AA master! Just go support, never run out of missiles either.

people bitch when AA isnt good enough and hind whores own them all over the place, then the hind whores bitch when AA is too good!

if youre not a hind whore, then why would you complain? ive personally flown the apache in ghost town and owned many people, and helicopters are perfectly balanced now.

i think the AA is perfectly fine as is. i never got shot down on ghost town, so its certainly not overpowered, even though im not the best pilot because of lack of practice.

How could you say that it is fine when it locks onto a flare (which means it should miss you) and then comes back and hits you.... I don't mind how accurate it is now it doesn't bother me, but that stuff is BUGGY and needs to be fixed. Watch our "Insane AA Video" in the news for yesterday 2/17

this thread is not about the AAs power or how good it is, i think you misunderstood, this is about the AAs massively irrational and irrealistic behaviour, which is one of the glitches in 1.2 - or would you call that movement in the video acceptable?
