I have found the best defence against ne thing that flies, is another thing that flies,
The ease with which i can aviod AA missiles is stupid, not that i am an excellent fighter piolt that can done thing,
just the AA missiles are complete poo!! that is why when my team is being owned from the air, iget ina plane and become a target, or atleast locking them on their bombing run, that really throws them.
I am normally very lucky in bombing runs, when i see a square pop up, i look for friendlies about that position, if i see none i unload and continue. but a good mobile AA gunner will shoot down planes with out firing missiles, i salute them when they do that.
The essex gun is a wonderful gun, it will destroy planes in seconds if u hit with the gun while firing flares, when a pilot seeshis health going down, the onlything he wants is too get the f*ck out of there!
What wouldbe good if the AA missiles where inteligent, when they missed they did a loop around searchingfor the SAME target, meaning a pilot that drops flares 2 early will have a missile up his jaxy!
And i agree with the dude up there ^^^ (sorry didnt catch your name)
Planes are used to remove major threats ie apc's and tanks. In my squadi get told where target it is (what CP) and whatit is. i then bomb it. sqaud then continues to next CP that i have bombed seconds before they arivve.
That works the best, the number of times i have spotted a square and tried to bomb it to find it is a car is annoying.
If pilots where to recognise targets by eye, they would have to fly slower, meaning more vulnerable to AA :D
great idea whever that was
