I got hit from IFV Lock on Rockets Multiple Times with a Helicopter through Flares. Seems to be specifically tied to the IFV as other Lock on Based Weapons seem to be working as intended. Tested it myself as IFV using Lock-Guided Missiles(MR Missiles) and was able to replicate it.
I've had the same problem. Sad to see these bug reports aren't getting enough attention, going to be very annoying if this doesnt get patched out on the first week.
An aim guided rocket isnt looking for heat or IR signature so why would flares work? They look for a laser designation, its like flaring a radar guided munition, whats the point?
This **bleep** needs to get fixed. Im playing jet and dying out of nowhere above my own base in Firestorm from an IFV sitting in its own base with no counterplay.
Yeah realistic like an Engineer running around with 210 Shots Main gun Ammunition 5 Anti tank Rockets 2 normal grenades his sidearm+ ammo and 3 antitank mines. It's a videogame it is meant to be balanced and fun not realistic. In real life you dont get shot by an ar and think well it was only 25 damage as long as i doesn't happen 3 times more im fine. And there are no people with a welding torch standing behind a tank and making it absorb 20 AT-Rockets. You answer shows that you aren't qualified for the discussion.
Having the same issue and makes playing heli almost impossible, especially since it is a 1 hit kill. Flares should definitely work. Please fix this asap.
It's not about aim guided rocket like TOW, it's an AGM lock-on missile, so flares are expected to dodge this missile.
the point is that this is makes flying completely pointless. If a recon lasermarking every vehicle and aircraft in the lobby a bradly can take down everything across the hole map. Which will results in spawn poin camping and firing on rocket after the other. And even that locking with the laser last for a while. It doesn’t require a continuously marking for the object. that ruins the complete game
Well Dice just dropped the patchnotes for the upcoming season 1 patch and as of right now there is no fix coming for this issue. Big L on Dice end.
