I use the manpads a lot in combination with Rao and I can say with certainty that they are completely unreliable at hitting their target. I can't be sure if it's from dodging, broken tracking or because they're too slow to catch up with the aircraft or a combination of two or more things but in scenarios where I know the enemy can not flare, the AA missile will often not hit the enemy.
I wonder if there is differences between mouse controls on PC and stick controls on console.
It's either that or the game is simply not relaying the information that the stinger has successfully hit.

@NoodlesocksIs this against Jets or Heli or both?
Mostly little birds and attack helicopters. The transports seem to be hit more reliably. Jets too if they are already close when you launch but I haven't had much chance to test against jets since their speed makes them more difficult to hack.
Not sure if AA missiles disappear after a certain distance/time like many other projectiles in previous games.
