Lock On Scrubs & BF1

I wasnt completely sold on the idea of a WW1 game, especially since I love modern shooters. But then I got to reading on reddit that there will be no lock ons. As a pilot, i appreciate the rare time somebody smaws or rpgs me when i make a run as opposed to the same beepbeepbeepbeep* trash i hear from the AA and Stingers/IGLA. Skill being reintroduced to the game? gasp omg they might be onto something!

A pilot that cant deal with lock ons is more of a scrub than the people using the lock ons.

You ever heard of homing pigeons…

More than likely the aircraft will be subject to small arms fire like BFH right?

Everything is fine until they start using aimbots.

Aimbots on console? I think not.

I hope planes are able to be hit by small arms fire. I read that they are, so I’m hopeful.

Lock ons literally killed the attack chopper in BF4. If the map isnt in a city, youre pretty much going to hear a constant lock tone. All that I care about is people being rewarded for aiming and flying.

There were no choppers in WWI either.

Yeah Im aware, I used the Attack Coffin as an example of what happens when you listen to folks cry about something being OP. Instead of learning to fly, naw lets just make the MAA with super cannons and Active Radar and buff MANPADs damage. And hell the MAA cannons really arent so bad cuz that at least requires aim and concentration.

you had to have other people tell you there wont be lock ons in a WW1 shooter?

you never followed history class or watch documentaries about WW1?

Last I checked this is a video game in a fictional reality, so they could put anything in the game if they so choose. I just like to get more information.

by that logic they could put in space ships and lasers and such as well…

The logic is I took a few minutes out of the day to do reading on a subject to make sure my understanding is clear.

Well it speaks volumes you had to read up to figure out there wont be lock ons in a game based on WW1.

Personally the fact that its going to be based on WW1 gave it away for me from the start.

To each their own i guess.

but will high pingers still get bendy bullets?

Their bullets never were bendy in the first place.

only thing OP has proven is that education Systems are broken where ever s/he is from. for god’s sake, metal helmets were not standard issue until about 1916 for most of the armies involved in ww1 and OP somehow though there might be lockons?!

good god…

Uh huh.

ohh yeah

most likely small arms will be able to damage planes

but to begin with 99% of the battlefield community can’t use air vehicles to begin with

It should…I mean that’s what took down the Red Baron so it is practical.
