Yesterday in this match, I noticed an enemy Cobra was able to reload and dispense chaff/flares faster than the AA missile emplacement I was in could reload. It's been a while since I last played the game, and it used to take a lot longer to reload flares. Is this a recent change?
Don't fire your missles until his counter-measures go off then...
So...yes, it's a recent change?Guardian_Ekim wrote:

Most semi-skilled pilots will wait till the missiles are fired before popping CM. If you wait too long to squeeze the trigger on the AA, you get raped by the cannon.
flares dont do shit anyways
i always thought the reload times were pretty similar. i haven't noticed any significant change since 1.5. it's all about timing more than anything. as soon as you pop flares, if you aren't returning fire, you better be getting out of range asap.
The AA has reloaded its missiles slower then the helicopter has reloaded flares for a while. What they really need to do is make it so you can toggle the tone with the mobile AA. You could drive the AA until you think you are where you want to be & turn the tone on. It would be the fault of the fail pilot of the copter if he let you get close enough to where he couldnt get away tbh.
No need for missiles since 1.5, just rape the aircraft with mobile AA canons.
Problem is if you get an above average chopper team, the cannon provides the tracers needed to target you when you aren't visible. I have no clue where the AA is sometimes, but if the guy in the AA keeps shooting the cannon, I will TV him 9/10 times.Sydney wrote:

yep. it's even worse now that AA has a longer range. i don't see vehicles from far enough before they have a lock so my only hope is to see tracers.Perv3rt wrote:

I don't think it has been a recent change, it's always been like that. Which is why you need to not fire right away and wait for them to drop CMs.
