Aircraft Systems Issue – Flares and Lock-On

Gameplay Issue – Aircraft Systems

Several aircraft gameplay problems are affecting the fixed-wing experience in Battlefield 6.

Flare Countermeasure Issue

Aircraft flares sometimes fail to break missile tracking even when deployed correctly, creating inconsistent countermeasure behavior.

Attack Aircraft Lock-On Issue

Attack aircraft missiles sometimes fail to hit ground vehicles after a successful lock, reducing their anti-vehicle effectiveness.

Recommendation:

A successful lock-on should reliably result in a hit unless the target deploys countermeasures.

Aircraft Balance Issue

Aircraft can currently be destroyed too easily by air-to-air missiles and tank TOW missiles. The difficulty of destroying aircraft is much lower than the skill required to fly them.

Map Suggestion

Adding one large-scale map each season would improve aircraft gameplay. Base distance should exceed the engagement range of multiple AA vehicles and TOW missiles.

This issue is noticeable during normal gameplay and affects aircraft survivability and pilot engagement.
