AA Class what do people think?

[cemmyz]

Anybody thought of the idea of having a dedicated AA class?
Similer to the anti tank he could have a stinger / equiviliant alongside a small smg. ammo could be limited to maybe 2 missiles to prevent whoring.

My plus's and negs of having such a class are:

Pro:

Would offer AA cover all over the map not just positions lucky enough to have a fixed post

Neg:

May end up saturating the map with AA noobs tho as mentioned earlier could be limited by low ammo count

What do you all think then?

The subject is nothing new... and most people are sick to death of hearing about it.

What would this class do on Karkand or most of the SF maps?

Its rather simple really you just give AntiTank the option to flick betweeen AA ammo and AT ammo with the 4 and 5 weapon selection keys since they dont get grenades

As for ammo give them 3 AA rockets just like in DC.

If you're into the idea, look for a mod project that might include it. Dice isn't gonna patch it in.

That's the bottom line.

ive always thought of it as a good idea, but no air maps just dont pluck with it, maybe selecting between AT and AA launchers would be good, but as said before, dice wont include it

You really have a knack for talking out of your rear and making yourself look like an idiot. The truth is that on several occasions people from DICE have said it is something they have considered adding. There seems to be pretty widespread support for it, so if enough people speak up about it I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it some day.

What we need is more people making good suggestions to make this game better in the future, and less people flaming them for no reason other than flaming. If you don't like the idea then give a reason why, instead of just saying 'Aint gonna happen'. What does that accomplish anyway? Does it make you feel like some sort of internet tough guy authority on the subject?

Personally I like the idea, although I would just go with adding it as an ability of the AT class rather than a new one. Giving infantry the ability to have AA that could strike from anywhere, (without them having to rely on fixed sites that are easy for a pilot to memorize the location of) would have gone a long way toward balancing the AA issue without resorting to the idiot proof, never fail, finger of God missles we have now.

Re: AA Class what do people think?

yea i think that adding AA missiles to AT guy probably a good idea then just simply remove them on non AA maps

This can be done it was done on Desert Combat in BF 42 it was a hand held missle launcher that shot 1 missle at a time it killed planes in 1 hit it was not heat seaking though you had to hit it on the right spot.
