Ambush is possible when there's no FXM on enemy. There are FXM players most of the time but not all the time.
There are air transport vehicles and jets, so removing FXM from air combat doesn't mean 1v1 fight.
I realized most of you say "AA missile" or "stinger" instead of "FXM." Is there any reason?

@MZR_926"AA Missile" is pretty generic for this type of missile, in BF4 the "Stinger" behaviour pretty much matches the FXM in BF2042 (lockon-fire-forget). BF4 IGLA mechanics are quite different, but it also is an AA Missile.
I think SAM (surface-air-missile) would also qualify.
I think the correct term would be MANPAD
As for the question you responded to...stinger is a generic term and a lot of us use it just like we would call something that works liike a javelin a javelin instead of some weird designator
