This has happened at least 3 times to me where I'll be flying in a helicopter, get painted, then I'll get no warning that an IFV was locking onto me with their MR missile and I get blown up. Dice plz fix.
This might also happen to jets?
Attatched a clip

Tanks man, i was searching for a report like this..It's pretty bad . It also happens with Jets ! On one server i played, a IFV team just took out every air vehicle one by one the whole match. You couldn't get out of base without dieing instantly..
It also seems that Flares don't work if you got painted and a IFV is firing at you..
I hopped in an IFV to confirm it myself and yeah they 100% ignore flares

Jackfrags made a vid about it.. it's totally broken..
I’ve noticed that anytime someone in the infantry fighting vehicle is using the lock on rocket and not the tow while someone paints an air vehicle the rocket will always connect and insta kill. Anytime I am in an air vehicle and pop counter measures after it says incoming the notification goes away until my flares are done and then a few seconds later the rocket still connects and insta kills me. The worst part is it doesn’t say incoming anymore and you can’t use low terrain to escape it either. It is just like how battlefield 4 was with the target designator and tow combo and it’s unavoidable. It’s very annoying because playing operation firestorm their IFV can sit in the back of the map and shoot down all our air in our own spawn because the range is also ridiculously long. I’m not sure if this is intended to be unavoidable but at least nerf the range or provide a counter measure to this please because more people will find out about this and exploit it.
Obviously this is bug. Also see jackfrags recent video.
It’s ridiculous and completely unavoidable. I was just playing firestorm and I’d take off, get locked onto, dead. While using flares. Insanely broken
Sounds amazing. The fewer 100-0 fly boys we have destroying the ground game the better.
Good afternoon, when playing today in aircrafts I came across missiles that would not warn me with a "incoming" message and would die. I believe these examples I added you can see that I would fly in a far distance and not have any "painted", "locked", or "incoming" warning of a missile strike. Even if I was locked or painted i would still have an "incoming" warning when the missile is approaching. The IFV tank has a lock-on only "MR Missiles" which the description says "unless intercepted with countermeasures" it can lock-on faster and for farther range WHEN target have been marked with laser designator or tracer-dart (meaning painted). When flying I was not painted nor fully locked on when the missiles hit me. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thank you.
Yeah really frustrating, hope this will be fixed fast because peoples are already abusing it by camping at their spawn and doing it all the game
