Jets? Pff, they're harmless. It's so easy to destroy the jets without HL. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Are you using god mode.,.lol

 

 

Seriously.. the explosive rounds from the JET are hitting you..and doing nothing. :D

I say as soon as the HL is fired every aircraft on the map detonates. No exceptions.

 

Would end it all.

No, buff Technical and Insurgent pickup gun elevation instead.

 

It's almost funny how people keep yelling "the jet is a no-skill griefing tool" while suggesting buffing the most skill-less weapon in the entire franchise as a counter to it.

Precisely. If jet griefers want to be lazy cowards and kill the easy way, give everybody else an easy way to put their sorry asses on the ground. What's the problem here?

 

Go passive, get in jet, dog fight it out for the "easy" kill.

 

 

Using passive to win battles is an exploit. And needing to use a jet to counter a jet is a very clear sign that the damn thing is an unbalanced piece of crap.

He is never wrong. And for once Hulio has a point. You should have died.

All those jets are attacking from cr**py angles.

 

Attack from directly above, and an RPG's not going to get you.

Seriously.. at about 50 seconds into the video... hes totally engulfed by exploding jet rounds. Yet just stands there and shoots an RPG...

^At any rate, none of the jets in that video attacked properly.

 

If a jet goes right up into the sky, then goes back down in a straight line, on top of the player, it's not getting hit by an RPG.

homo launcher should just be removed. RPG itself should be a call in merryweather drop, have a limited ammo and then a cool-down

Well if armed air crafts had limited ammo and a cool down... Then they could just remove the HL. :D

Then give the jet the same treatment.

What a surprise, another thread where someone complain about the homo launcher and jets, geez go learn how to RPG

The homing launcher is already beyond what its real life counterpart can do. I've never heard of a Stinger making U - turns on a dime.

 

Meanwhile the Savage is a heavily neutered version of what it should be.

 

When my Savage has flares, ultra tough armour like the real thing, and a cannon that can pivot and pick people off from miles off, then I might not be opposed to a homing launcher buff.

 

Right now though, they're already a joke, and don't need more BS to deal with.

Whats to learn.. Aim in the direction they are comming and pray it hits the jet... And while shooting the RPG you can either DIE...Commit suicide or go passive as you shoot it.

 

 

Such fun :D

we have an anti jet weapon that works already

it's called the heavy sniper

 

although I'm all for this change if we also give the autocannon an infinite range and Km wide blast radius

to balance it out, remove one missile

Except the HL can give me a few seconds to pound out some sniper shots..while i hide in cover. Unlike the RPG, i need to be out in the open in most cases.. and dying. Im not trying to die.

 

And yes RPGing a jet is hard. Its mostly dumb luck. Just because your name is RPG and you claim its easy means nothing.

 

As always.. stupid players are easy to kill. Same logic applies to jets. If you think its easy... then you keep getting lucky with dumb players.

Making the jet smoke and limp away to another jet spawn, a proces that can literally be done in less than 20 seconds in some circumstances, hardly makes it an anti-jet weapon.

 

Unless you were going for mild inconvenience.

it's not hard if the guy comes in a bad angle, yeah it means nothing but add me and get a jet, let's see how many tries it takes me to rpg you

I know i wouldn't be able to see him with that angle but i gotta shoot on the other side that i would, on a future point that he would go after dive bombing me

What if instead of pulling up, he pulled the stick in the opposite direction? Or gets high up and missiles? Even hover mode right after cannon'ing might work.

i do that too, sometimes i go on every direction after dive bombing so the player gets a little confusing, i normally see the player tactic after dive bombing so i know kinda where to shoot the next time, never tried to go hover mode after dive bombing

A $3 million dollar aircraft is normally over powered. Ask anyone in the middle east on the receiving end. The thought that someone on foot should have an equal or greater opportunity to destroy it is silly to me. I understand the griefers blah blah blah and maybe a cool down on replacement is in order but there is no way someone on foot should be able to simply one shot kill an aircraft.

The problem of using RPG against jets is that you're practically depending on the jet to crash into the rocket rather than any actual aiming prowess of yourself. It's basically guesswork and as a result is wildly unpredictable and unreliable.

 

The homing launcher on the other hand doesn't even have to be aimed - just wait for the square to turn red and press fire. I wouldn't be against buffing its homing capability if the missile is made semi-active (i.e. you need to maintain the lock for it to continue tracking).

 

Another skill-based anti-air solution is to buff the elevation angle of the Technical and the Insurgent pickup guns as I've mentioned. It would make shooting jets less of a pain in the ass and divebombing less of a viable tactic against these two vehicles.

 

The jet cannon could use an RoF decrease to Valkyrie levels so that it requires aiming instead of just spraying in the general direction of the target. It should stay explosive though, unless the HL is completely removed from the game and all bullets do decreased damage against jets.
