Stinger push the buzzard out of business?

Is the buzzard still f*cking useless now due to that stinger or have some elite pilots found a way to doge that sh*t cuz I've tested it soo many times and no luck yet...

Pretty much useless tbh.

 

Unless you're very good in one you're dead before you manage to sucessfully hit your target.

 

Only use I can think for it now is transport and if you have a co pilot firing missiles. In this way it's still useful.

I've been utilizing flying around buildings more and mixing up your altitude at the same time. Flying directly above and rocking forward and backward to get your kill works as well. Also if you know a missile is coming at you fly straight at it you can sometime get away without a hit. Other than that troll players with low levels or ones that are broke! I think that stinger is a bit too overpowered!

P.s. The buzzard has never been useless in this game and still isn't just got to know how to fly that b1tch!

I'm great at the buzzard I used to be able to take on crews of 5-8 guys for a while cuz u didn't have to worry about being locked on unless it was from a buzzard and I'll take on an easy dogfight anyday but now it is almost impossible to do so on more than one person and your lucky if u can kill the same guy over and over if he had the missile.

No Buzzard pilots even level 300+ will approach players on foot now they all sensibly hide behind something until you get in a car or chopper.

Well, I'm no 'elite' Buzzard pilot. I'm decent. And no, it's not useless. It's simple: if you can hit your target with rockets without a co-pilot, horning launcher is no danger for you. Do it fast, do it clean. Moving targets are safer targets in this way.

General tip: speed and altitude are your friends.

I can take out the buzzard with an assault rifle

the players usually fly stupidly low so i can shoot at them

Coming from someone who goes after any aircraft with stinger missiles. I try not to be a bad guy but I get all giddy when I send 3-4 people crashing to there death.

1. Stay forward and close to the target and strafe left or right to dodge the missile. Try to make the missile do a 180 degree turn, don't try to outrun it.
2. Use buildings and any other cover to stop the lock in the first place or make them waste the missiles (they're expensive and they can only carry so much).

It's harder but it's still doable and yes I know I'm not the best stinger missile slinger out there but most people aren't either.

Listen I mean it for killing and it's literally impossible to strafe to the right and doge the missile it's faster than the buzzards missile so it's not as easy as dodging the buzzard/jets missile. @elfroam I'm good at both piloting and shooting see me in a lobby I'll have these hollowz make yo body rock

As long as you can turn the buzzard in time and gain higher altitude as you turn/fly behind buildings, you should be fine. Nothing makes me laugh more than someone shooting a stinger at me while I am flying my Besra.
