Can Lock on painted aircraft, they will NOT get a warning whatsoever if the tow is chasing, flares don’t counter it either. The second flares have worn out, the tow starts it’s chase again, again with no warning, guaranteed hit/kill.
Also it is just way too easy to shoot down helicopters with TOW missles even if they are not painted. It is starting to be a huge problem, bradleys and MBTs are shooting down attack helis from the other side of the map consistently. If the heli is playing the fast flyover game, still has to stay on the other side of the map because one shot from a TOW messile can end the fun and it is not counterable like any other lock-on rocket.
There are now a huge number of players who don't do anything useful but just stupidly sit at base in an APC or MBT. They use TOW missiles to hunt aircraft. They hit almost every shot from across the entire map. Their shell reload is instant. You dodge one missile and the next one is already on its way. It's like some kind of fishing.
I played a game recently; the chopper went 100:0 - I guess that's why they leave it in.
