EBAA Wildcat useless at it's state
Against helicopters: - AA rockets range is very short - AA won't lock again after flares for a long time - Nightbird can easily avoid locked on rockets for some reason - If two rockets are shot, ...

- AA missiles have a range between 400 to 450m
- After popping flares, there´s a short cooldown before yo´re able to lock again
- Missiles usually hit something like a building or such
- When using flares, missiles behave strange
- The 40mm is designed for anti-infantry and light vehicles, not against aircrafts. Use the 30mm instead.

Here are the ranges for AA missiles as tested by myself:
AA Radar Missile range ~700m
Heli IR missile range 350m
Jet IR Missile range ~420m
FXM33 (AKA Stinger) 400m
AA Anti-Aircraft Missile CRT Mk5 350m
There is currently a bug that allows helicopters (especially but not exclusively the Nightbird) to dodge vehicle fired AA missiles without flaring.
To @Kompura The Wildcat has quite strong 30mm AA cannons as well as AA missiles but the problem as mentioned above is that they and other vehicle missiles are bugged against helicopters. Once that is fixed you should see much better performance.
Also should point out that the Flak weapon for the Wildcat is very powerful vs aircraft and does not require direct hits in order to inflict damage.
