Anti-Air concerns.

[SLCoran]

I'm concerned that I could get permabanned for tking. Anti-air is an important part of this game especially on certain maps. I never aim for team mates and I get punished for team kills I don't even see because of a near miss of my actual targets :dunno:. I know there is nothing anyone but EA :crazy: can do about this part of the game so please be advised "I don't shoot down your aircraft on purpose".

I know what you are saying. The last few games today I have used AA and shot at aircraft right in front of me. But, it says i teamkilled or had gotten team damage. I just want to know that the admins will watch for me if I happen to get banned and people can justify that I wasnt f-ing around. I don't know what else we can do...

If you get autobanned, it is to end of round or 20 minutes. There's not much we can do about that.

you get about 1/10th of a second warning that it has locked on and depending on reaction time(and if you have flares) you have about that much of a chance of surviving(even with flares deployed), that's IF it regesters as it locks on, and that's if you KNOW it's a missile and not an enemy locking on(which is gets mistaken allot of the time)

not only that but turning and looping doesn't work at all because it's allready at it's max velocity and will hit you before you turn.

basically, if your shooting at a fighter chasing one of your own use guns and bomb to prevent un-needed atention then once either the enemy fighter is dead or the friendly is clear/dead then switch to targeting and fire.

your n ot going to banned for AA use. stop being a pussy. :P









Jeff's secret to gun emplacements.............................Fire off that missle 2 seconds before you get a lock. Dont wait for the lock, dont wait for them to start spewing chaff. YOUR missle will lock in air, if you fired it and it's close. Save yourself the pain of chasing aluminum bullshit. Shoot that crap down as their hitting their countermeasures.

hm... I gotta try that. Normally I wait till after they blow all their flairs, but that always runs the risk of their getting away.

This is sort of off topic, but when you're playing AT and you know you can't get a good shot on a helicopter, just aim your rocket at the heli as long as you can anyway and the pilot will go nuts, lol.
