Isn’t it interesting how all the pilots kept quite about this one yet yelled from the rooftops about balancing lis missile. Almost as if the just want an advantage!!!

cry more crop
Like you all did to get lis nerfed???
Pretty sure if that existed every single wannabe flyboy would be crying in the forums about it so dice could save them again.
@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R I did bring it up. I also brought up how the Nightbird has far better accuracy than even the anti-air tank.
Lis is still good, I'm gonna make a montage of her missile destroying me in aircraft and one of me destroying vehicles with it.
I've said it before in other threads too, try using the anti-air tank, it's very strong now.
On here quite regularly and never seen a single post about this bug that is apparently effecting helis so much.
I cried about, but they also never fixed nb flip over. So, my trade rn now under the radar is getting shot by recoilless or I flip over.
And no, they didn't fix stinger shots out from cockpit.
Btw to op, it's dodging if you do it right. Nb is the easiest one tho, but still takes some time to understand. Every chopper can do that.
@S3SSioN_SoLLis may be balanced and very capable now on pc. But on Xbox it was already crazy difficult to hit a plane before the nerf (because turning speed was low unless you tailormake your controller tunings for Lis’ missile - at the cost of making infantry combat crazy difficult because your aim will be ultra twitchy)

Actually I think that it was a pilot that first brought up this bug/issue all the way back in December 2021.
Nightbird Unaffected by AA Missiles - Answer HQ (ea.com)
This is an issue that is affective the most the Pilot vs pilot gameplay where the one who knows how to exploit it gets to avoid the enemy IR missiles without using the flares which puts them at a tremendous advantage.
This issue generally does not affect the ground to air missiles as far as I remember
@Col_LarsenThis should not be affecting stingers. It was an issue that made Air to Air missiles loop around the small helicopters and self-destruct harmlessly.
As about why it was not fixed yet.... your guess is as good as mine
This bug isn't specific to Nightbird. In the inital release notes for the recently added "Below Radar" feature, it is NOT supposed to allow pilots to break lock by dipping below radar altitude. However, this is not how it is behaving and pilots are exploiting it to break lock.
@Col_LarsenDude, so there's the flarespam ánd the avoid-the-missile-bug ánd the current bug making the missile go straight, ánd the new class system making ammo (more rockets) rare.
That's like a 4-layered EZ cake for the players who main airvehicles.
@rainkloudGoing below radar (<30m) shouldn't cause a missle which already locked and has been fired before the aircraft was below radar to lose it's target lock. It is only supposed to prevent the enemy from establishing lock.
@DigitalHypeSo I just tested it and it's COMPLETELY BROKEN. It's not supposed to effect Stingers but anything I fired at below 30m the missile just went straight (no tracking) as Task_and_Purpose mentioned. It's not supposed to break the lock of vehicles missiles already fired and it absolutely does. This isn't like 25, 50 or 75% of the time. It was 100% of the time I tested. What absolute garbage this is. How do you not test something like this?
I'll do a video on it. Was it broken in 3.2 as well?
I think we are in violent agreement. 🙂 I'm also saying it is broken for the exact reason you described. The below radar bug is present for all aircraft. Not just Nightbird. We notice it more with Nightbird because its easier to exploit with that one due to its speed and maneuverability allowing it to dip below radar after the locked missle is in the air.
There is a bug report for this. But the submitter doesn't realize why it's happening. They even attached a video to the bug report. You can see the aircraft is hovering just above the 30m mark and thus the FXM is able to lock and fire. Then, just after he fires, the heli dips below 30m and the missle flys off. This happens twice in the video, back-to-back. and it's a transport heli in this case.
