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
CM title edit
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?
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.
Patch notes out today and no mention of this at all. https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/battlefield-6-update-1-1-1-0
I'm very disappointed there was nothing in the season 1 patch notes about this. Air vehicles are extremely frustrating to play right now. Disabled the IFV Lock guided missile until its fixed.
New anti-air-missle on stealth jet also hitting you after locked without any notif about incoming and also ignores flares, well played dice 😊
This 100% was happening to me. The helicopter will be painted but no sound of incoming missile or on the visual and the helicopter blows up from the missile even after flaring. Another issue I was having was with the AA similar issue where you would flare and doesn't matter their missile would hit anyway. Battlefield please fix this and also AAs their missiles are one shot one kill.
This is correct. flares don't work with IFV. It has to do with being painted. I believe being painted makes flares ineffective.
When I am in the helicopter and I am being painted the visual only shows locked on yellow with no change in visual to red or increase tempo in audio for missile lock. I then am immediately hit with a missile as if I am being locked on. Furthermore, flares do not work when any aircraft is painted, you do get the audio and visual indicators, and a missile comes you flare but you still get hit with the missile and die. This is primarily from Tanks and AAs that I have tested. I haven't been able to test with ground to air missiles.
Appreciate a repair please.
This is singlehandedly the biggest issue in the game for me. It completely destroys the balance of the game and makes aircraft useless when some little camper hides in his spawn for the entire game with a IFV.
In addition to no alert sound, it shouldn't just permanently tag you as a painted target for X amount of time; the person designating the target should need to keep the designator on it. If line of sight is broken for ~2 seconds, it should no longer be painted.
