Oh my god. You can reserve extra AA missiles inside of oil towers! Time for me to go play Oman, maybe I can get off the ground.

What . The . Fawk

I honestly don't even know what I just saw. Did he shoot the tower, then the missle got sort of held up there, 'till he locked on the jet again, then the missle left from the tower and got the jet? WTF?

That would be.....AWWWWSome! To have the Engineer plant mortars and AA anywhere he wants to automatically go off!! Maybe I'd see more than 1 engineer in a 64 full player map. Nah, J/K. Wicked!

Ah...

Simple Guided Rocket Physics

Before 1.2, the AA rocket turn rates were not too good, so if you fired them at the oil tower they would go right through the flame (or near it) and fly off into oblivion, hitting whatever it can hit.

But becuase of the much much increased turn rate, the missile heads towards the flame. The moment it pases the flame, it detects the heat source behind it, so it turns around with it's uber turn rate. Now it's heading back towards the flame, goes through, and then it passes it. And pretty much spins around the flame really really fast.

Think of it as driving a car to a road sign. When you zip by it, you realize it's past so you turn around to try and get back to it. But since you can't (or rather don't) stop, you just keep on going in circles.

Solution? Make the flame a solid object, the rockets will explode and that's that.

The missiles spazzes around (in a zig-zag shape) even with no oil flame. I'm flying one minute and suddenly i see this spazzy missile goin' crazy flyin' continuously around me! lol!

The missiles have downsyndrome!

Exactly what happened. He fired 2 AA missles into the tower and then when the jet flew by one missled launched out and hit the jet and then about 5 sec later the second one flew out and killed the jet. Nice work EA.
