Re: Bug: Missiles and laser pointer.

Well Mr. Helicopter pilot as you said every other AA missle in the game is pure trash and almost impossible to bring down choppers or planes you know it you said it you fly. So the one thing that can balance the battlefield and stop the heli,and plane ungodly straffing and mini gun barrages you want removed. I want you to try shooting down a plane or chopper with anything but the IFV and you will see why it is fine the way it is. Its a laser locked weapon and if your painted you should be hit. Its designed perfect leave it alone.

I respect your opinion, but have you considered that there are stinger missiles, mobile AA, automated AA, RPGs & other assorted launchers - most of which can shoot choppers if laser targeted.

there is nothing wrong with the missile or the way its being used, the painting mechanic is the problem, you point at someone for 1 second and stop and then they are painted for 10 more seconds, by what? the painting should only be on when there is an actual painter and for a lazer guided hit the painting should be applied all the way

right now you can jump into gunner seat, paint someone for 1 sec, jump back and lockon and get a secure hit, thats wrong and broken af

cant count how many times i died to a painted hit while im not even visible to the painter, if they just catches you for 1 second before you go behind cover the painting stays on

they need to fix the painting so it works as intended, add ecm to the chopper and first then will everything be alright

No. One can clear whole sky within seconds. No and its addressed as a bug. Same goes with jets heatseekers, broken. Heatseekers ignore flares and dont have income indication, just like ifv mr missile.

You have no clue what you’re talking about and it’s just a skill issue. Likely the only reason you been able to get ground to air kills in the IFV is because it is a completely bugged and a broken mechanic. As the pilot can’t even tell if there is an incoming missile and by chance you do flares do not counter (weapon description on the lock-on munitions says they should).
You are practically cheating and say designed perfectly, you should uninstall.

Many options to take out air, helicopters probably the easiest with the massive amount of rpgs shot and the fastest ever aim guided munitions in the game. Two missiles than can be shot in one reload from the ANTI AIR VEHICLE will take out any air.
Or get good and challenge the enemy in a dogfight, rather than sitting back at spawn bug abusing. Only such a baseless comment comes from someone who plays like that, skill issue.
