Hello there!

My first post here but I’ve been lurking for some time.
This is by far the best BF2 forum I’ve ever come across and I’m hoping to learn/share a lot with you.

Now I have a question regarding Attack Choppers and the cursor while in guided missile mode.

When I started playing BF2 I practiced my helo flying and gunning in Single Player mode (as most people should) but I’ve come across something strange that I’m hoping you might help me with.

* Fly as a gunner in Single Player
* Enters TV guided missile mode
* Puts cursor on target
* Fires

Now here’s the thing:
Whenever I left click to redirect the missile, the cursor leaves a white imprint on the screen to indicate where I just clicked.
This makes it a whole lot easier to obtain a good missile flight since you can pretty much see exactly where the missile is gonna hit.

When I play online I don’t get these imprints when I click so I just thought that it was a “practice feature” for offline play.
However I just read at a different forum that quite a few players still have this “Aiming Aid” (Hmmm, new AA?) so now I’m wondering:

* Do YOU get these imprints when playing online?
* Have you found a way to activate this?

Thanks in advance!

//Best regards    Jensa

I know what you are talking about.
Haven't flown a helo for a while so I forgot whether MP had it or not but I definitely remember from a long time ago when I was practicing my flying in SP, I noticed those white crosshair markers.

Yeah Ive just tested it out aswell, you do get a little white crosshair where you last clicked in SP.

I have this in single player (when it works).

I cannot direct the TV missile at all, it's like its bugged for me when I'm online. Single player parking on a roof or whatever and using it is easy though.

Just a little nudge to see if there's more to say about this.

If I remember correctly EA said something about implementing this 'feature' in one of the older patches. It looks like they failed.

Theres something else. Singleplayer: If i single click in TV missile mode on a target ONCE, the TV missile just flies straight but doesn't fly to where i've pointed. This happens approximately 50% of the time. The other 50% the missile flies to its target with a single click like it should. Ever experienced this BUG during online game?

And, yea wonderful, sometimes the TV missle crosshair is misplaced, a well known bug it seems.

I sometimes have problems with the speed of the missile.

You fire sometimes and its easy to guide onto the target, play another day and its all over the place and about ten times the speed making it impossible to get on target, anyone else suffer this?

For me the TV missiles are ... buggy ... stange ... dunno

SP:
» I have a lil cross where I just clicked
» The missile starts when I click once and flies to the clicked target
» The missile begins immediately to fly as soon as I click

MP
» I do not have a lil cross where I just clicked
» I have to click twice or more to fire the missile
» When the missile fires, it flies straight forward
» I have a fat delay between click and missile-launch

Yes I do, and I'm glad someone else does.

Sometimes it seems that the missle just WON'T redirect, no matter how much I click it just flies straight.

I click once, it leaves an imprint on the screen I click again and it fires to the imprinted location. This is on SP, havent tried on MP

Also in SP, when locked-on to a target (airplane) and you fire the missiles you get ;

*Missile Away
*Fox One, Fox One

Etc.

Wonder why that isn't in MP.
