AA lock-on missiles are ineffective
I don't understand what is wrong with the AA missiles in this game, including both the AA tank and the Engineer not-Stinger missile. I lock on, the aircraft pops flares, I wait, after all the flares...

Hehe and then you will see posts from pilots that cry about constantly being shot down.
I've spent a lot of time taking down aircraft in BF6 to get the challenges done and, yes, if a pilot is half-decent they are pretty much unkillable unless several players all over the map are all attempting to bring them down.
If someone (more than one, really) is laser painting everything for the whole match then you might get a chance if the jet/chopper doesn't fly low and fast enough after they pop their counters. Might.
It's interesting the OP mentioned BF3/4 jets. Yep. They were unkillable with a half-decent pilot in them.
BF6 feels pretty much the same to me.
The only thing likely to kill is one of the later unlocks on the Bradley tank, but that seems like a bug that will get fixed and it is a later unlock, so most won't have it available.
Jets really don't add anything much to this game but kicks for griefer troll flightsim nerds and annoying frustrating unavoidable random death-from-above for everyone else.
You cannot balance jets with a ground objectives based game.
