every time we get one rocket on the guy, he would hug the deck, and b NIGH untouchable. SThat’s even with me staring right at him with a clear shot for a good 10 seconds. I can’t touch him at all because I can’t lock onto them. It’s total crap.
Not arguing the general gist at all, but if you're playing with friends, then do try painting with the recon binoculars: it removes the "too low" and "too far" constraints on stingers, allows you to lock almost instantly, and makes the missiles much more agile. It's not gonna change the miserable overall balance when you're on your own (which is most of us), but with friends in a squad, it can be genuine fun. For one thing, those pilots are very much not used to going down like that...
Edit: forget about doing that on Manhattan bridge though, there's simply no space for infantry to challenge helos. That map should not have any, period.
