Wildcats can now lock onto jets > 800 m, which is silly (update 3.2)

Thanks to the incompetence of the vehicle developers, wildcats can now lock onto jets from across the map (> 800 m). 

The previous 600-m lockon range of wildcats was already far too disruptive to jet gameplay, especially on the smaller maps; a decent wildcat player can now considerably reduce the effectiveness of jets against all vehicle types, WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO USE THE DUAL 30-mm CANNONS. A wildcat is now capable of destroying a jet that is about 800 m away just by locking onto the jet if the jet has ran out of flares. 

+ If the devs have not realised yet, this massive buff to the wildcat's AA missile range will severely impede the performance of jets against other vehicles (especially choppers). But maybe they want jet pilots to camp at the flight ceiling now?

    @S3SSioN_SoL 2042 vehicle balance will never be good.

    It's just a mess compared to BF4.

    But reddit and Dice want random chaos, they believe it's what battlefield is all about, so we are stuck with it for 2042.

    Hopefully David Sirland of Dice LA will be in charge of overseeing game vehicle balance in BF7.
