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.
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
I have been in the IFV and shooting down aircrafts the last 2h. We pretty much disabled the entire enemy airforce by ourself, from spawn.
But I **bleep**ing hated the aircrafts in the other battlefield games, so this is retribution!!! for now untill they fix it.
The only thing the flares do is that they interupt the locking seqence from the gunner of the IFV.
The seqence is:
IFV gunner needs to lock target 2-3 sec. (sometimes it refuces to lock no mater what you do == buged interface -> you need to switch to machingun and back to painter again, happens like every 1/10 times you try to lock something)
When the lockon is set, it takes the driver 1 sec to lock the missile to the lock.
Then launch missile and wait for points.
If you are in a:
Heli = "You are dead!!!" there is nothing you can do, abandon ship!!!
Jet = If you are lucky! and have a head start you can outpace it.
The only one that survied almost all engagement was a jet the did divebombs from high altetudes. 500m above. because he always had a headstart and often when the lock was set he was on the way outside the lauch range (about 800m)
By exploiting bug we deserve that? Get out of here.
Once it’s patched Im going to only hunt tanks for the next two months. I started flying because of my hatred for tanks. This exploit has renewed that hatred.
This need to be fixed !
how the hell is this in the game after release? this is 100% game breaking for air units
this thing is completely broken. no matter if your in armor on ground or flying it just goes straight through countermeasures and wont even display if the missile is incoming half of the time. ill be flying for a few mins get designated it goes away comes back and then it says incoming i dump flares fly low using mountains as cover and the missile still goes thru flares a mountain and one shots me every single time. ive been one shotted by this stupid missile in a tank across the entire operation firestorm map spawn to spawn one shot with that **bleep** mr missile. it needs fixed so bad please fix it
Completely agree with you, look at this! What was I supposed to do?
yes ,this is pain in the a**

still not fixed. that should be prio 1, dice. That's game breaking, literally. You can't win big conquest maps if one team abuses it. whole lot of players gonna leave and write a bad review. it's just awful how dice didn't test this kind of stuff. what a shame
7 days and it's still in the game, what was the point of creating all these jets and helicopters if no one can use them?
