Re: Rao Hack working as intended?

@Bolvard thank you for the information. I know, that this could happen, but I assure you, what I have experienced is something different. If he has used the flares in the last second, I would not be able to lock on the helicopter right after the hack. But this was possible, so he has not used the flares, while hacking. 

Please don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help, but I am doing this with Road for some time now, but in all my 368 kills (and countless hits) with the FXA-33, this has happened before this weekend. It was not a display error, on my screen was the sucessfull hacking message and there was no delay between hacking and locking/shooting. 

I have paused since season 2, so I thought maybe there was something in the patch notes. But if this is not the case, I would consider a bug on someone's end. 

Ok just for this... I worked through the process to record something (thanks to NVIDIA Experience it is surprisingly easy), to Cut the Video and to upload it on youtube... and finaly, here it is. The proof, that I am not dumb 🙂

@Bolvard Please explain this. It was a little bird these times. Yes, the hack was successful (Gegner gestört = enemy hacked), I instantly locked with the FXM-33 and shot the missile and the little bird used his flares. And I haven't hacked the pilot or other guys in the helicopter, because then, the hack would go faster. DICE, please fix this. Thank you. 

Thank you @EA_Atic 

Would provide more evidence, if needed.

First could be that they are to far out of range and hack is over when the rocket is on their ways.

Second one looks like bug could be desync also them pushing flares as soon as they notice hacking happening.

Sent it on to the team. @Captain_Tachi

And that's the point...if the first example the heli is able to get out of range before the missile hits, then what's the point? I've tried and tried to get hits on helis and even done some videos of my own. It's near impossible to get a single hit on a heli as a single shooter. At best if you get a hack on, you "might" get a hit depending on how far it is away from you. Even a pair of shooters has a hard time and it's not impossible to outplay a full team. I'm not saying you should be able to solo a heli, but it's far too hard to get at one, particularly the Stealth. Let's look at this...

On that map, I'm standing there a Rao in that same position. I hack and 4 players shoot at him from a similar distance. All he need to is run a bit until the hack bleeds out and then flare...NO HITS. If he's quick enough, he can flare before the hack goes into place and run to OOB and sit until flares regen...even AA vehicles can't keep up with them having 2-3 times the amount of map as everyone else along with multiple ways to defeat AA....

Bottom line, at least in the stealth, the flares last way too long and regen way too fast....
