Now that's a WOO-AH attitude. Either you never had a skilled AA ground pooper take a good shot at your plane, or the AA just really did suck. At any rate I applaud your attitude to the current situation.mecspecialist wrote:
Great patch! I love it.
Now the AAs are a real competition and those bombing runs are even more thrilling.
I was a good jet-player before patch 1.2 and after i will be an even better one. Made already lots of rounds and yes, now i get in trouble or shot down, too. But that's just fair.
Prior patch 1.2 there was simply no real competition towards TV-guided-missiles and my 5 bombs. Now the ground-poopers have at least a chance - well done EA.
So stop whining you retarded wanna-be-pilots about the new strength of AA and compete with it or get OUT!
KJ, to be honest, AA WASN'T a "real" threat prior patch 1.2. If you'll take a closer look into jet-top-charts and work through most jet-whores-stats then you get the clue. Flying a J-10 and raping 10.000s of willing infantery-points, strafing MG-fire on airfields and spawn points - lol, simply lame ass tactics, but easy points and lots of badges and gold-medals. All AA-sites on all maps are well known and were no real threat due to malefunctioning AA, just a sudden grave for the infanterist, most time.Kung Jew wrote:

If only more players could adapt this fast.

There's no skill to it. You point, get a lock, shoot. How would that take skill? There's nothing more you can do.Skruples wrote:
I agree that AA should be a threat to aircraft, but it should also take at least a modicum of skill to use effectively. As it stands now, after the patch, all you have to do is wait for the tone and click, and your missiles will make 90 degree turns to hit their target. And in some cases will make 180s after missing and still hit their target.
And as I said before, choppers are the real victims in this patch; at least jets can fly out of range in 5 seconds.
I second that. Well said mate. Well said.Skruples wrote:

The complete opposite of 1.12, where missiles would go to great lengths to miss the enemy target (one time a missile did an extremely tight loop about a millisecond before hitting a chopper, deciding instead to go after the flares that he had just released. Seriously, the loop was about 5 feet in diameter. God damn I wish I hadn't deleted that fraps).Skruples wrote:

No Dolphin Diving, Bunnys, NoobTubers! I Completely OWN now! I dindnt realize until this patch how much I was getting killed from the exploitive BS. With the new patch changes I just run around crushing peoples faces.
PKM is stronger but is Balanced by stronger snipers to shoot the little proned mgs in the face. choppers get ripped down by AKs all the time in real life. A Missile is a MISSILE, its a GIANT BOMB THAT BLOWS SHIT UP! ITS A MISSILE! it should be nasty ITS A MISSILE!
And God Help You tank whores, all I do is stomp around with the Anti Tank kit and its even nastier now.
Overall I'd say the patch is a good improvement, it makes it harder for all the kids that played the game like total Fags.
Gives the Legit a chance to Shine!
I be stompin peeholes after 5:00 GMT watch your back..........................

I realised that 3 AA shots is required to destroy a plane though.General_CoLin_Tassi wrote:
I agree with the AA inprovement. Its the attack heli's TV range reduction, 14 to 8 missiles, hit point reduction aswell as the AA improvement. That the problem. A good patch would be 8 missiles, a hit point reduction of between this new patch setting and the original setting. Keep TV's as they were as this will counter the new uber AA. Also jets hit points should be increased slighty as the AA is deadly.
Depends where they hit you.Ayumiz wrote:

The skill involved is knowing when to shoot. If you ever used AA in the pre-AA ownage days, you'd know that waiting for a lock and firing was never enough. Someone wrote a nice long thread on how to use AA effectively in the featured post section.CrazeD wrote:

Yep.. That inspires me alot and would make the game so much more fun knowing that you've done your duty etc. ..and just getting the "Thanks Champ". "You Got It" is satisfying enough.B.Schuss wrote:
example of premier teamplay:
SL:"hey, pilot dude, we have an enemy tank on the bridge at the northern base and need air support"
Pilot: "Roger that, commencing attack, hold your squad until bombs have dropped. Could you take care of the AA before I come in ?"
SL: "absolutely. I'll tell my sniper to keep it clean"
oh boy, how I would love to have a conversation like that at some point...
