I've been one-shotted in an attack heli several times by jets using the AGM-72. There is no lock on warning, or any warning at all. You just instantly die, out of nowhere. This feels very unfair. It might be a bug, but it needs to be fixed ASAP. AGM stands for Air-to-Ground, and it should only work on ground targets.
That is kind of the point of a Wire guided missile. your best defense is movement.
It's a manually guided missile, so if you get hit, it's because you're not moving enough :P
Are you sure? I tried using it in an attack jet, and it wouldn't fire without a lock.
And I am always moving in the heli. I was not hovering when I got hit.
I just tried it again in an F16, and the AGM-72 would not fire without a lock. It's a lock-on missile, not wire guided. However, I was also unable to get a lock on a heli, so I don't know what is going on. How did I get killed by it in a heli?
After seeing this YouTube video, I'm convinced what I've described above is a bug. I was probably being painted by SOFLAM, which allowed the AGM-72 to lock on to me without warning. Dice, plz fix.
