Instead it is really good at killing people camping around a destructible corner along with the destructible corner itself.If you want it to take out Nightbirds like in the trailer, you better make it fly a lot faster and be easier for the operator to see the missile they are wire guiding.Otherwise it is just good at killing camping infantry rats on roofs and houses.EDIT:Welp, better players than me have come to the same verdict as I do. Plus it even visually notifies the pilot even if it is coming from behind. It gives even more warnings than the Liz missilehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvqtGww0v2UDICE, this is ridiculous. I consider this insulting to both infantry and towards the pilotsIt has the same damage as the M5 recoilessMinus 1 rocket compared to the recoiless (so 3 hits cannot take out an MBT at full health)Same reload time as the recoilessA x4 zoom that makes guiding the missile more of a guesswork than guidance.Visual and audio cues for pilots. The visual cues are so extensive that they even appear when the missile is outside the FoV of the pilot.According to someone at the comments it has 300m range.

@MADMAC50K It won’t turn quickly, it’s a slow meandering kind of thing. I’m working on T3ing it right now so have fired it a fair bit by now. There is very little hope of hitting a Nightbird, even less than hitting a pondhawk. The crosshair blocks your vision so smaller targets are really hard to hit. Close range or snap shots are also extremely difficult. The missle also drops a bit on launch before the rocket kicks in, so you have to be standing, definitely don’t launch from behind cover 🤣🤣

@Man_iLoveFishing Spoken like a true pilot who wouldn’t want to see it buffed, eh 😃

@VOLBANKER_PCHes got a point though. We all suffered with Liz when she got overbuffed to high heavens and then nerfed twice to bring her unstoppable missiles back into order.Let people unlock it and play around for a month, then we see how it goes. Personally I haven't even seen people use it that much.

@UP_Hawxxeye I just unlocked it this week.But 100% agreeI find it underwhelming against vehicles, but good for taking out window campers in the buildings on haven.

Cos in the trailers they make BF the best game in the world, everything is excellent, no net issues, etc etc as we all know the real game is again * up more and more to the point of nearly unplayable, even giving headaches from the unwanted recoil change THEY thought to be necessary 🤬🤬

SRAW is good at one thing and it is not at hiting Nightbirds

@UP_HawxxeyeIt’s slow and has a crummy turning radius. I was finding it’s got a limited range too, based on it moving to a reload animation while I’m still steering. It also goes dummy surprisingly quickly so hopefully the targets like to stand still. At least you can carry 3 if you get ammo, not the 2 you start with. It’s not very powerful so you really need the ammo.

Its not that im against your post, but how about we train a bit? Sounds like after 5 hours you came up with conclusion.

So how come in the trailer it showed the operator fire one missile, and it took out the nightbird in one go ?

I am also comparing it to its BF4 version.
This BF2042 version has a significantly larger delay before the missile starts traveling normally after it leaves the launcher, it seems to fire like a javelin without being a javelin.
The SRAW of BF4 was already a worse than the Liz TGS missile without the Javeling-like delay and the slow reload time of the BF2042 version.
Edit: I checked some videos about it and as someone pointed out at their video, the SRAW's FoV is way too small for the quick adjustments one needs to do when guiding it towards anything that moves remotely fast.
@JennyB_010
The SRAW will take out a nightbird in one hit if it manages to hit it. But I believe that if a helicopter pilot manages to get hit by a SRAW then they have been hovering exactly at the same spot for too long or have been flying in an almost straight line towards you.
@UP_LordPlumber
The Lis missile's power came mostly from too many people using it near the launch when she was brand new. Soon after when they got bored of her, she became a lot less used.
After that it got its duration and range buffed to match the range of those huge maps. Then it got some of that ranged nerfed along with its turn radius because they did not wanted the missile of have a chance to hit a second time after missing,
But the Lis missile was better than the SRAW even at its worst.

I suspect the firing delay is to give pilots enough warning by lighting up their HUD like a Christmas tree, so they can duck behind cover. Similar to the Javelin. The lock on time for that thing is so long, it's quicker to run over to the tank and point at it....
From what I've seen of the SRAW, it's controls are even worse than the over-nerfed Lis missile. Faster to turn an oil tanker than steer a Lis missile....
