The choppers are the real problem because the aa missiles are absolutely garbage.
The lock on range is pitiful and when you do manage to get a lock and the pilot has used flares half the time your rocket goes awol and randomly goes anywhere!
I had a game yesterday and the havoc was literally 20 foot above me and the aa refused to even lock after I hacked it.
Whilst realism should be applied where practicable, balance should always trump realism as is the case here.
The problem with AA at the moment is that locking is very inconsistent and missiles often fail to track without the apparent use of flares.
No buffs or nerfs should be applied in this area until the above is fixed then see how things go.
That said, range may need to be adjust, Nightbird can fly towards you and fire its rockets long before (a good) lock is achieved nevermind fire, and you're dead before anything can be done.
- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Trokey66 the only thing i'd do is make the the hydra pods part of the main armament and remove them as additional firepower.
if you want to spam the rockets you can not have miniguns and/or the 20mm cannons. pilots can not have the cake and eat everyone elses all the time... on top any 30mm canon or bigger needs to be gone from groundvehicles and the 50mm canons should get removed from the super-helis as well....- Trokey664 years agoSeasoned Ace@X-Sunslayer-X Don't necessarily disagree and is worthy of further discussion but in terms of AA balance, range is one part that can be discussed now even with Stigla inconsistencies.

I think what they should do is lower the limit of vehicles active at any one time, take off cannons for bolte and jeep (should be transport only) and these 2 should be able to be done in 2 rockets. I die mostly to boltes more than anything else it is ridiculous. Aircraft self repair should be gone, and they need to fix the lock on, half the time i dont even know if im locked until press the fire button.
Vehicle/infantry balance is in such a mess at the moment. It makes it infuriating when im constantly getting killed by vehicles (mainly the damn bolte)
