Now normally I dont complain much about BF2, but this really pissed me off. My squad leader and were in J-10s on Wake, and i was tailing him and covering his back, and doing a second pass on whatever he missed, when he damaged the enemy chopper, i got a clean lock, held it for a few seconds and fired. The missile went straight at it, and as soon as it touched, it angled off and hit my team member, resulting in me losing minor points, but I should have killed the chopper. Is this a common problem?
yep same with stinger.. lock on @ enemy chopper, team chopper down...

Yes In my few fly hours i've met the same problem. :tip shoot with your machine gun to take the chopper down. also fly with boms never with missles unless you want to use them. (if you dont now the last part )
It was my understanding that as of the 1.2 patch, the AA missiles are deadly accurate when you get a full tone lock. It was pre-1.2 that people had all the complaints about solid locks going off into space and finding friendly targets.
This isn't true unfortunately or unfortunately depending if you fly or not lol. At any rate, the AA has definite trouble hitting helicopters: 1/2 will hit regularly, but even 2 direct hits wont take it down which is quite stupid. AA has a bit less trouble hitting planes if you fire it correctly, but once again 2 hits won't neccesarily take down the jet giving them lots of time to repair. The only plane regularly shot down by anything is the F35B.Agent_Dung_Bomb wrote:

If you want to stay alive in the current system, don't get greedy, don't approach a risky spot without flares and you will have no problems staying alive, unless you are flying the F35. Then you are going to die sooner or later so accept that.
Well, I'm a ground pounder, so I've been all for the increased accuracy of the AA sites. Constantly seeing the team punish come up on your display because the AA rocket went everywhere but where it should have gone, with a good solid lock and no flares from the target, was getting rather old.[CANADA]_Zenmaster wrote:

this happens to me all the time when im in a stinger or something
we need more effective aa guns 2 bring down jets, and let the jets take down the choppers!
