seriously… I mean … the whole waiting for a lock on tone was such a DRAG… and giving the enemy a chance to evade? WHO WANTS THAT?.. or even know there’s a missile being fired at them from +500 m away until it starts beeping exactly 35 ms before it hits their helicopter and knocks them on their side so they crash and get the BF4 version of “bad luck”.. known as “killed in action” who wants the kills anyway? BEST IDEA EVER ---

Map: golmud railway.. Chinese MAA camping under the D train bridge… im trying to use the building at F for cover… its 485m from that bridge to the F flag… wtf, no lock tone … just a quarter second of beeping and 2 missiles slam into me, flipping me over and killed in action. doesnt DICE remember the launch of BF3 when any and all weapons hitting the helos flipped them over and badlucked them? > [@](#): > > _3load said:_ > some strange balancing issues again…they never fail to amaze smfh ---

It bugs me mostly because the people using them don’t even get points. They are just those weird sort of people who get enjoyment out of pissing people off with no actual reward. ---

I agree 200% toatal bullshit. 2 hits from this missile your dead. No warning no lock tone indicator. I got killed 3 times in a row. There is no real way to avoid it. Except to ECM before they aquire you. And even then you gotta be dam good and ether kill them first or get the fuck outa there. ---

Any decent AA operator should start firing his cannons as soon as the missiles leave the tubes, resulting in a kill 8 times out of 10 when the missiles hit. Not just badlucking people for lulz. But I do agree they’re sort of OP right now. That said, it’s not that hard to stabilize the chopper, just spin it around and pray you don’t hug a building. ---

I learned that the hard way in a battle of smart missiles vs. active radar… …I lost. Even with two salvos of smart missiles from an AH launched at the MAA :|. ---

Maps are way to small for AA to be honest, not to talk about it’s lock on range is fucking disgusting. I can barely lift off my own base Before I hear beeping and taking fire from 25mm cannons.. sigh. ---

Active radar missiles need to be removed from the game… there is no reason to ever have a weapon that CANNOT BE COUNTERED ---
