BF2S Forums Is there a bug in airplanes?

The missile will probably lock onto the nearest aircraft.  Since he's right behind you, that aircraft would be yours.  I've never tried that, but sounds like a good tactic.  I do fly around in bomb mode so as not to tip off an enemy jet when I come up behind it, but I usually try to take it out with MG fire.

If he's right on top of you, you won't notice the travel time of the missile. I do that too, he was stalking you, waiting for you to level out, as soon as you did, he got a lock on you asap and the two missiles were off their clips and in your afterburner before you could turn. My best advice when you're in a dogfight with someone who you can't shake is to lead him around while swerving to avoid missiles and mg fire and just pickup bombs and look for ground targets. Or hit the stratosphere and hope he lost you in the fog. Note: You don't leave trails when you go completely straight, one of the best ways to lose someone is to fake a loop. Pull back til you're upside down in your loop then bank any direction and go straight to make sure you don't leave a trail. Double loop if necessary. You really have to just play it by ear.

To sum up, not a bug, you just got worked.

i think you can actually fire the missle before the lock is complete and if you lock while they're in flight theyll go to the that target so he switched and fired while locking on then as the lock was complete the missle were allready half the way there

That's how I take down enemy jets.
