BF2S Forums TV missile glitches...

I could rant and rave about this topic all night. I spend a lot of time in the air and I'm so sick and tired of locking onto jets/choppers and watching the missiles fly straight through. What's the point of a damn missile lock because one missile flying through occasionally would be fine... but I've launched all my missiles in 2-second intervals at a single chopper (that didn't pop flares) and every one of them went through. However, it tends to happen more when I launch two or three missiles very quickly. Maybe it's some kind of balance bullshit, who knows.

I'm also sick of the tv guided missiles on choppers and the laser guided missiles on the bombers. Both of them always end up freezing up when they're fully loaded and take some 20 seconds before they'll fire. I've also been in a lot of bombers (mostly the MEC jets) that just won't shoot anything at all. I had to crash the jet and get it again to get the missiles working.

It happend to me all day yesterday, i was in a jet fired 2 missiles at the chopper, no flares or nefin, went straight through juz below the rotorblades. like u cablecopulate. must b a problem

if the chopper pilot is flying solo then all he has to do is switch to gunner seat to avoid heatseakers... my roommate does it to me all the time...DAMN YOU DUK0r!!!.... as for the tv guided that happens to us all and duk0r is a crack shot...so....yup its a darn bug they need to fix!!!

the worst part is when the TV goes through an APC.

Just want to know if this happens to anybody else...
Whenever I gun for a chopper pilot and we see another helicopter (mainly other attack choppers), he lines me up and I fire.Now, I'm not a bad gunner but every one of my shots has to hit the tail of the chopper because even if it is a good missile shot to the cockpit or body, the missile proceeds to go right through it and won't register a kill and the chopper wont blow up, which extremely pisses me off... Does it happen to anybody else or would it be a shitty comp problem or anything else?

this is due to the lag between your computer and the server realizing the hit. it can take up to 1 full second for the server to see it, so you have you, in most cases, aim for the tail.

its in one of the heli movies
