I am not a fan of the air vehicle gameplay as infantry at the moment, but to increase the complexity of the counter measures through different missile types and different counter measures, I don't think the gameplay will benefit from it.
Guided weapons are a problem in general, they don't need skill, so they are either too effective or useless. There is not much in between.
So what I think would help, is gameplay, which is rewarding skill or Teamplay. And just one rocket, is not enough, more options would be great (something with more spread, but less damage for example, or something faster, something slower, fast firing, slow firing... There are plenty of options). Or if SOFLAM can't be countered so easy, or the tracer dart...
Ok the other hand, all these explosives are a problem, too, no vehicle player has to aim properly, as ,you just hit the ground with something and every infantry dies. Not fair, while I have to hit you pixel perfect with very limited amount of ammo and endless reload times.
I think this would probably helping the game, make it less noob friendly, more skill based.

Here is the problem. Modern era is the era of guided weapons.
So to work around that they need to add more non guided options that work.
The railgun rifle could had been one of them but then they nerfed it so that an entire team need to use it together to make it threatening to aircraft.
I would be happy with some modern version of the flak cannon emplacements.
