Nope, I do not agree with that.

In this guide I am aiming on visuals, im building movies/screenshots of how-to.

Putting stuff in as text is one thing, but seeing it is another, it is to give people an idea of bullet drop, target leading, terrain useage.

this is no "who can make the best AA guide" competition. Everybody is free to provide their own guide.

If your guide turns out to be as good as people here think it will, you might find yourself in the "featured posts" subforum.

Oh Noes!!! Teh Bearz Is Awakezz

I think the AA vehicle should have its own radar. and some sort of flair to prefent it from getting shot by a laser guided rockets,

Bernadictus, I would like to make a correction to your guide. The missile systems on the USS Essex in the game are not the RAM systems, they are RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles. In real life, the Essex has both RAM and Sea Sparrow missiles onboard, but the ones featured in the game are the Sea Sparrows.

Ha! TY! I couldn't find the missile battery name so I went for the RAM system, which is replacing the RIM-7 systems. (Less space more missiles).

Interested in helping me further out with targeting etc?

it works b/c i got my vet defence thx man

Pretty good guide, dude.  You might want to consider adding an attribute for each target based on possible "worth" for the kill.  Either in terms of help to your team (ie keeping tankillers down, preventing a squad from capping a flag - this can drift quickly into the subjective) or in terms of how many possible kills you can make with a single target  (ie 1 for most planes, 2 max for attack choppers, many more for transport choppers, etc)   Obviously those potentials are rarely going to be realized, but for those who are strictly looking for "more bang for your buck" kills it would be nice to quantify. 

You may also want a side-guide for how effective certain AA is for non-AA usage.  (ie using the Tunguska for anti-personnel)
Lastly - what's your recommendation on best kit to use while going AA - either mobile or fixed.  Personally when going mobile AA I've done engineer most of the time, but realized I should be support.  (I can rarely convince commanders to drop me supplies for ammo, and any damage I take in mobile AA is either minimal or catastrophic - negating the real nead for repairs.  I'd rather have enough ammo than a shiny new cart.)

how can you resupply yourself if you are support ?

and I think that to be able to get missiles and ammo from a support guy, he has to be in a vehicle ? am I wrong?

!! didnt know vehicles could pick up ammo bags! thanx
