Changes needed for fxaa and soflam/recoilless
In 128 player matches there are potentially 20-30+ fxaa locking into 3-4 air vehicles at any time in various spots. The whole map is a minefield for vehicles + rao can disable flares. I know a lot...

@SpudBugIf anything fxaa and soflam should be buffed
This game is almost on par with BF3 air dominance except the jets cant hunt down infantry with unlimited range rocket pods like back in BF3.
But the attack Heli again just hovers somewhere in the air and his gunner picks off infantry while having AGAIN unlimited range and ammo.
So it is no Wonder that people start using more and more AA becouse it is hell of annoying if something kills you while there is no counter to it.
If anything the soflam M5 Recoiless and Stinger should be buffed in lock-on range.
Or buff the lock-on range against laser designated targets to 800.
In hourglass it is almost like back in BF4, complete air dominance between the skyscrapers becouse either the lock-on breaks or the rocket fly into buildings.
Teamwork should always bring down air vehicles and currently it does not…. Well.. only overextending pilots or complete noobs.
There should be no nerfs applied to AA until they lock and track consistently, once that is sorted then perhaps review it but until then......
- @Trokey66 I love that 3/4ths of the time my rocket locks on and fires, the helicopter remains in range and doesn't pop flares...and the rocket just * off in a random direction. I don't mind getting outplayed by someone dragging the rocket into a building or hill, or if they fly out of range or pop flares but like...having it literally do nothing is lame.

The rocket follows and hit you if you do nothing.
They are using the ECM jammer if the rocket gets confused and hits the ground. Which is better than flares because it also removes you from air radar which makes the fight against even jets possible. Only downside could be that the rocket still can hit you in rare occasions if the ecm runs out and the rocket is still in the air.
Easy solution to the actual problem in 2042: bring back below radar like suggested before.
Gives pilots a chance to dodge lock ons but still requires skill to fly low to the ground + being more vulnerable to non targeted attacks like a tank shot or the M5.I just spotted this on Reddit @filthy_vegans and I imagine what you saw through the SOFLAM was quite similar.
