The Nightbird's bug that lets it evade missiles without using flares is an issue

It's subtle bugs such as this that make vehicles seem more dominant than they actually are. All it takes is turning the aircraft a certain way and the locked on missile will miss and explode mid air...

@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.

      @DigitalHype Not sure where you are seeing that. The notes say that it doesn't effect missiles that have already launched. Doesn't seem to say anything about not breaking locks.

      "Flying below 30 meters from the ground will now ensure that you’re immune to lock-ons from Vehicle-based weaponry.

      We are also reducing the height limits for Helicopters. Previously we have seen some instances of pilots flying high and unleashing havoc with very little response as lock-on launchers were unable to reach that high. This tweak helps bring those helicopters down to the ground (literally).

      This change does not currently affect Jets, or missiles that are already fired. We will continue to review your feedback in the meantime."

        @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.
