Now you hear all people bitching about the AA being too strong. But thats not the point. The AA is neither too strong nor too weak because the problem is different:

The strength of the air vehicles depends on the skill of the pilot....so a good chopper pilot is stronger than a bad chopper pilot, which goes for everything in BF2 EXCEPT the AA. The strength of the AA always is the same. It doesn't matter if you are uberskilled or a noob when sitting in an AA. The difference between highskilled people and noobs using AA is so small, that the strength of the AA is literally always the same.

But why is that a problem?

Thats quite easy: You are not able to influence the strength of the AA by yourself, so there are 2 extreme examples:

you have a noob pilot and a noob AA shooter -> AA is a lot too strong as the noob pilot has no idea how to evade the AA or how to kill it.

you have a highskill pilot and a highskill AA shooter -> AA is too weak, as the highskill AA shooter is as effective as the noob AA shooter while the highskill pilot just kicks the AA shooters ass.


So the only way to really make the air vehicles and the AA balanced: The strength of the AA has to fucking depend on the skill of the soldier using. Every weapon in bf2 depends on the skill of the user EXCEPT the AA. And you wonder why the AA is imbalanced?

I thought the problem with AA was it didnt obey the laws of 3 dimensional euclidian geometry?

Ok let's look at your so call "REAL" problem with AA. How much "skill" do you think it takes to hop on a stinger/mobile AA, point at an aircraft, wait for lock on, and shoot? Do you REALLY think it requires skill to do such a simple act? How complicated SHOULD it be? What the hell do you expect man? It's POINT, LOCK ON, SHOOT. ANYONE CAN DO THAT. That's not the point of the matter you idiots! Any moron can hop in a tank and shoot at something. It never had anything to do with skill. Now being a smart pilot and going after AA and actually eliminating it, now THAT takes skill.

I'm SICK and TIRED of hearing all the BS about AA being too accurate. I've launched 3 missles at a jet that already deployed his flares and they ALL MISSED. I've lost count of how many times I shoot my missles at someone flying STRAIGHT and they MISS. AA is not flawless, people. So stop making excuses and get used to it, or stop playing. We're heard all the whining a million times already. WE AREN'T DICE/EA. We can't fix your "problem"! So STFU already and play. Everything about that patch has been covered ten times over. We heard you. Enough is enough. Please move on! I swear there must be like 100 posts about this crap on these forums. Nothing you guys can say hasn't been covered already. So please give it a rest for goodness sake.

Instead of wasting your time complaining on these forums, go to the EA forums where someone will actually listen! But then again I'm sure they've already read complaints like yours a hundred times so it doesn't matter. Could we PLEASE start talking about something other than the stupid patch already?

The second I played I found it too accurate or maybe I'm too good :-). I shot down a J-10 and a Z-10 in Daqing Oil Fields and was like "Woah".

Mainly because everyone was so used to AA being useless. Now it has a very practical use. It's great on maps with the Essex. Any fool who tries to bomb rape suddenly needs to dodge 8 missles.

Indeed, there are enough threads about the AA already...
