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 _beep_beep_beep_beep\* 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. ---

> [@mmarkweII](#): > > 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. ---

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. ---

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. ---
