I'd like to preface this that using Anti-Air such as the IGLA is such a pain in the **bleep**. As someone whose been trying to play a more supportive role and focus on Aircrafts, it feels like I'm just shooting pebbles or getting flared every 3 seconds. Same thing goes with RPG-like launchers on vehicles like Tanks, again it feels like I'm shooting a pebble. Either buff the launchers or nerf the vehicle health or flare timers.
I haven't used the aim guided in a hot min so I'm a bit rusty with it, but it's fine for transport heli's and attack heli's I suppose, but I just think that some of these other launchers should get a slight buff or something.
I dont know about you but in my matches, I'm mostly going against competent pilots. "I'm glad you are having rough time shooting your no talent skilless weapon of choice" is weird icl. It's not a weapon of choice, it's a tool to deal with Aircraft and it's a **bleep** tool because it's so easily countered and the damage you put out is **bleep**. I chose to use said tool because Aircraft like Attack Heli's and Jets can get pretty annoying to deal with, since I'm not talking about someone whose inexperienced and doesn't know how to fly. The logic you're trying to apply can be used for tanks, Attack Heli's gunner seat and Transport heli side turrets, since they're "no talent, skilless weapons of choice"
Just use the aim guided launcher, it's the best one for all aircraft aside from jets once you learn to use it.
Sure, only if they add ECM jammer to aircraft. Flying aircraft and getting kills and staying alive is significantly harder than firing a shoulder fired lock on weapon. Im glad u r having a rough time shooting your no talent skilless weapon of choice at the most difficult vehicles in the game
I think Ground Armor Launchers could use a slight buff, only because I've thrown 2 AV Grenades and shot 3 MBT-Law missiles at a tank and it just brings it close to 1 which is absolute bs imo. But everything you said about Anti Air is so factual honestly.
Personally I think the ground armor is fine. They do seem strong when you have a team that doesn't understand how to break them, but they're also insanely weak when the enemy team has half a brain cell bouncing around in their heads. I would be ok with a nerf to both, but not a buff or nerf for only one side.
For air, yea, broken. So you've already got a litany of rules to follow to launch the thing, not too close, not too far, not too high, not too low, not behind the smallest leaf of a tree, the lock takes a long time and EVERY LITTLE THING causes it to pause or just completely break lock... yea. Then you get to add in how about 1/5 of the time, the launcher just fails. It will either just not arm and fall down to the ground, or decide the center of the earth was the real target all along and just blow up on the ground, or even with no flares or any countermeasures at all the thing just will miss.
THEN we get to add in the short short flare cooldown, which not only breaks lock, but causes you to be unable to lock on to the air while any of those flares are even CLOSE to where you are aiming. Then, oh boy, flares from another source will break the lock as well! Including team flares! Great design! After the deployment of flares, the air can almost ALWAYS get into one of the zones you can't lock it again, and since the CD is so stupidly short, they're right back at it in about 15 seconds.
They complained so much, and nerfed the RPG so hard because it was getting used against air so much. What no one must have even THOUGHT to look at was the stats for the other, dedicated, SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR ANTI AIR launchers. They couldn't shoot squat down before the RPG was nerfed, and they still continue to be unable to shoot anything out of the air. The RPG was simply the only option because every other choice simply sucked.
