Theres been tons of complaints about this since dice took it upon themselves to nerf the damage the missiles do, big deal if you get a single hit, thanks to their patch it doesnt even disable the aircraft anymore, all they have to do is fly away, regenerate and come back.

It was bad enough pre patch with trying to get a hit with the stealth lockon but at least if you did you were rewarded with heavily damaging the aircraft, at the minute you do something like 45% damage, and thats it.

It's a good job jets aren't a threat to infantry at all then isn't it.

They can be on strafing runs with their rockets, ive had quite a few infantry kills just by using the main gun. It seems most are more content with fighting other jets or taking out vehicles.
 
They need to make the stinger more powerfull againts helis and jets. Its impossible to hit aircraft when they use flares, unless of course there are multiple players with stingers..

Maybe they should make it a bit of a dice roll favouring the aircraft when a stinger is fired and the flares go off maybe 6/10 times the flares distract the missle.
 
This is kind of what DICE were aiming for.

As on conquest 64 servers its quite possible to have 10 engineers all running round with stingers.

In times like that, pre patch the pliots may as well not have turned up.

If they had no flares then yeah, flares made their odds better, and flares coupled with stealth makes it very unlikely they'll get hit by any ground based missiles. Air to air is a different story as you can close down the distance between the aircraft making flares less effective against heatseekers.

Also what the hell is your AA vehicle doing?

Its not like i keep tabs on vehicles im not in, whoever gets in it plays it their own way, and on pubs its impossible to say what theyre doing unless you're sitting watching them. Either way it doesnt negate the fact that Dice screwed up badly with their kneejerk fix for the igla and stinger.

If flares had been standard instead of unlockable there wouldnt have been near as much drama as there was on the first few days. They caused the problem, then "fixed" it by crippling a weapon that was already having issues because of aircraft unlocks.
 
It's pretty crap with the stingers soo weak but you can still cause real damage and take things out, I took out 2 jets and a chopper the other night single handidly.

Loving the AEK-971 with red dot, killing many silenced F2000 IRNV nubs with it :D

i just had a game with the most immature team imaginable

i ran to a heli with a team mate, he was the driver, i was the gunner

he would not take the heli off the ground and went on the chat and told me to get out!!!!

i said no, just fly the heli!

he then flew it up in the air, parachuted out and left me and the heli to explode on the ground :mad::mad::mad:

later in that same game, i ran to another heli, same guy...

he then flew it up in the air, parachuted out and left me and the heli to explode on the ground :mad::mad::mad:

Hit F1 to jump in the pilot seat and fly off - what kind of captain doesn't go down with his ship??! :D
 
Has anyone been able to get the ui.drawenable command working? Wanted to disable the ui to get a few screens but apparently its an invalid command despite being in the patch notes as a new command. :confused:
 
Fully loaded chopper pilot / gunner combo easily the most deadly in BF 3. Two jets are no problem for it. Seen a chopper take out two jets in the space of just a few seconds countless times.
What gets me is that people fly off on their own in one. No surprise they dont last very long. Get a gunner and live longer, its not rocket science :)
Teammates on the ground not spotting enemies doesnt help either but that might have something to do with the spot enemy button doing its own thing at times.
