Small video about 1.21 AA

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

The tree AA bug is obviously not fixed, nor was it reported as fixed. Its pretty minor anyway, since you lose lock when things go behind trees.

it is not as minor because people exploit it, on ghost town, guys parked there AA vehicle , and instead of shooting at choppers, they shot to trees, misiles go nuts, SAS chopper goes for reload at chopper landing spot, misile goes for chopper, no beep at all

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

funny thing is if you fire at a tree the AA will go after something else

i don't think its that big a deal

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

Do you think it would be possible for EA/DICE to publish what bugs they are aware of and whether they can reproduce it or not? That would help a great deal and should lower the ammount of redundant bug reports.

Probably not. We're lucky that they admit to any bugs at all. This is EA after all.

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

actaully the trees have done that since the game first came out... and i sh1t you not that the trees also deflect artillery rounds... they just fly off at random angles

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

shame the trees aren't properly modelled with proper collision data :-/

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

Hehe, maybe it's a "realism" thing. Some of the missile oddness I've seen in BF2 reminded me of video I've seen of real missiles mis-behaving, so I went hunting.

Check this out:

Near the end of the video, the 3rd SAM launch goes haywire. It didn't try to come back at the boat, but check it's crazy flightpath before getting a destruct command.

This is still my favorite psyco-missile vid-clip tho:

What you're seeing the the result of a software glitch that allowed the missile to lock onto a target that was different from the one being displaied by the pilots targeting computer. The A-4 is working as a spotter, but the missile locked on him and managed to score a Friendly fire hit before it's engine even lit up.

This is just by way of saying, odd poop happens... in games as well as in the real world.

Gimp you've got the wrong story on that second one. That's not even an air to air missle, it's a bomb. (It's also not an F-14, it's an F-18, come on now I thought you were a big air buff ) They were testing the release mechanism and the A4 was there to observe. The turbulence of the jets sucked it right into the path of the A4.

Here's a video that shows it from another angle http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...68446698&q=f18 You will see that the A4 is actually behind the F-18. This video says it was an external reserve tank, although I originally saw this on a more reliable source where it was listed as a bomb release test, if I can find that link I'll post it. BTW, for anyone that is concerned the A4 pilot did manage to eject.

PS Gimp, this website will prolly make you wet yourself if you haven't come across it before. Check out the videos link on the left under multimedia. I recommend http://www.patricksaviation.com/vide...ion=view&id=49 to get you started.

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

WTF rombaft?
thats not even close to being a bug - in fact its quite realistic that the missile would lose control like that when you think about it
if thats the best that you can find in 1.21 then I think DICE have triumphed
1.2 Fixed gameplay
1.21 fixed bugs

Game on!

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

Gah. I'm in partial retard mode today.

The version of that vid's story I hear was off an old site that's been down for awhile. It could well be wrong. I definate screwed the pooch on the F-14/F-18 issue tho.

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

I don't think it matters...I mean you are firing it at a tree which isn't defined as a solid surface...I think.

Yes, I thought you would show a video of firing at an enemy jet. You was firing at a tree..... I have not played the 1.21 patche.....will tonight, but the patch before that fixed the AA as shooting down jets and helos.
I shot one helo down that was smoking trying to cap a flag on Wake(dumb)...one shot and dead and a defense pt.:evil:

Re: Small video about 1.21 AA

I think that EA didnt do ****aki to BF2 in 1.21 at all... They got our $$, they dont care anymore... Everyone should just go back to unpatched bf2

Do the missiles even have programmed heat signatures?
