BF2S Forums Oil Tower

You are locked onto the tower because it is a heat source and you are using heat seeking missiles.  You need to wait until the helo comes closer than the oil towers and is then the larger source of heat for your missiles to lock on to.

The same problem (real life) was encountered by troops in the 1991 Gulf War when the oil fields were lit up.

I don't think it is a bug (though not 100% sure since I didn't write the source code), just a feature to add some skill to shooting down choppers.

Hope this helps..........

My post was informative and honest. I in no way insulted you personally or in any other way, which is the point to rule number 3. If you take offense to simple facts then I fear you do not belong on an internet forums.

Hopefully you have figured out how oil towers and heat signatures work because I am closing this thread. If you feel like you have anything else to say on this topic you are more than welcome to send me a private message.

besides i was wondering why the last one was closed

the_heart_attack stated exactly what I stated as the final post before closing, that you were confused about the issue that was in fact resolved. That is why your thread was closed, next time if you are confused you should pm the mod who closed the thread.
