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...

"I can already observe matches in BF6 were [where] helicopters have been totally untouchable from the ground because the AA weapons are so ineffective..."
Absolutely wrong!
I play Engineer mostly, the class challenges were not hard to do, and the Anti-Aircraft Tank is working perfectly. It's missiles refresh more frequently than flares do, allowing you to take out aircraft with your second missile. You can also finish off helicopters with the high-velocity rounds. If you fire missiles they will miss due to range, high altitude, or an aircraft diving for low altitude.
One of the best things about the Anti-Aircraft Tank is that it virtually never runs out of ammo. It replenishes missiles and 35 mm rounds quickly. The high-velocity rounds will rip a helicopter to shreds rapidly!
As of 4:10 p.m. today, Sunday, Pacific time, I finished a complete battle where I only used the AA Tank. I decided to test and see what the hell you were talking about. RESULT: I shot down SIX helicopters and one JET. I did 14,400 damage to aircraft, and got 29,000 XP for the match -- using only the AA Tank.
The IFV Tank can also fire at aircraft if they have been painted. The IFV is also an excellent tank.
My advice: go back, do over. The tanks are working fine. You need to put some hours in watching the behavior of the pilots and learning to use the equipment.
Strength and Honor!
