New Fighter Jet A2A Missiles

I'm unsure if this is just me, please correct me if it is (could be skill issue), but every single time I have a fighter jet on my tail, and they send off the new lock guided AA missiles, I get shot down every single time regardless of whether I only flare when it says incoming. 

Initially I thought it was just me raging over getting spawn camped by the enemy fighter jet, but I've noticed if they get on my tail regardless of where I am, and regardless of whether I go below radar or hit flares at the right time, I get shot down. It's become almost unplayable because now it's just a game of "can I be behind your spawn when you take off" 

Unfortunately I'm on console so I can't record footage, but has anyone else noticed this?

  • Xbox? I’m on ps5 and can also do record clips, I noticed a lil bit ago that the fighter jets now have anti-air missiles, I’ve not tried them yet, honestly I hate missiles and mobile AA, I enjoy 20mm guns and laser guided bombs ( my loadout back in bf4 ) hopefully they bring loadouts back for the jets because we need more options for counter measures instead of just flares, let us pick from ecm flares or smoke

  • I'm on PS5, and yes I'm going to try and get some clips of this, just played another game where this time I was able to get to the fighter jet first. Can confirm that the missiles go through flares once locked on and there's literally nothing anyone can do. This is similar to the bug that was there previously with the IFV, except this doesn't require a friend to paint the target for you. Just lock on, fire and forget and the enemy jet went down 100% of the time. 

    If anyone else is experiencing this, what's the best way to get EA attention on this ASAP?

  • It's the laser designators, it allows them to lock on to you with those missiles, which otherwise they cannot, and flares do not stop it. People keep telling me it's bugged but on the same token the sheer amount of AA we have to deal with makes me feel like they just want us to die instantly in the sky

    Experienced exactly the same and had a chat with one of the other pilots. He cruize slow and simply lock on using free look, so regardless of what you do, you will get a missile that will send you to respawn within 10 seconds. Not to mention that dogfights are boring now, since you do not have to get behind the enemy and predict his movement to shoot him out the sky with your machine gun (this was fun and skillful), now  you cant even get airborne.

    EA added two Anti-air missiles to fighter jet which can lock an aircraft easily and destroy them (1 missile deals 3/4 of the health of airctaft) So  these missiles deal a lot of damage and they are undodgable, So i personally think that these missiles must get removed and nerf the laser tanks because they insta one shot jets. My heart stops every time when i get shot from nothing and i see the tank is on the other part of the map which is insane the fact that i was not even warned to use flares

    yes i noticed this too today its so broken PLEASE DICE FIX THIS + REMOVE THE HAMMER + DRONE BUG SO U CAN GO ON TOP OF EVERY HOUSE PLEASE BEEN IN THE GAME FOR 2 WEEKS NOW....

  • This needs a hotfix to remove them, Jets are just trading with the air to air missiles and then the last jet alive shoots down all the helicopters. Manhattan and Sobek City are the only playable maps if you want to fly helicopters.

    I can confirm that the air to air missiles ignores flares and it nis now just a matter of which jet fires them first and he will have the sky for himself.

    PLEASE FIX THEM AND MAKE IT BALANCED (LESS DAMAGE)
