Question about the Ruiner 2000's missiles vs Fighter Jets

[Silencer555]

Are the missiles fired from a Ruiner 2000 able to track a fighter jet more efficiently than a HL missile? If so, is it able to destroy a fighter jet when the pilot decides to circle jerk constantly?

If that answer is a yes, then I'll be very happy to pull out a Ruiner 2000 if a jet comes after me. Tired of not having a good anti-air weapon to deal with heavily experienced jet griefers. Couldn't test this myself.

[Mr_Zombly]

I've been wondering this too, is there info in the files if the missiles from the ruiner are different from the Homing Launchers.

There was a video from pyrealm gaming that stated: only if the pilot is pretty much bad anyway. His explosive round kill you most likely first

[REXX]

It does lock onto air hostiles during the vehicles' special mission so I'm guessing it would be the same in freeroam.

[RollsReus1959]

Yes different.

 

Its faster and turns on a dime.

[Happy Hunter]

I remember fun saying that they had a shorter lock on range than other homing missiles. So they are different.

 

I haven't heard him say anything about its speed/agility, etc. but I have heard people saying they seem to be really fast.

 

I've had empty sessions for ages, so haven't been able to test it much for PvP. I did get hit by one while in a 'Bob though, and it caught me off guard.

Yeah, but I'd rather still have a small chance of a guaranteed take down if I survive. Not just waiting to be spawn killed after surviving the first few attack attempts.

Yeah, it does but I think op want's to know if it's more effective than th HL since a jet can just go in a circle to avoid a hl rocket.

My thoughts exactly.

That's what off radar is for.

 

I plan to start testing this. In ground usage, the missiles seem to be the most effective homing missiles in the game. Fast and will track targets through hard 90 degree (or even more) turns.

 

The real trick, I think, is not avoiding the jet - I can do that with most vehicles for at least one or two passes. Rather, it's getting a missile lock on a target so far above you.

Ah right! Misread

 

From what I've seen, they are extremely agile. Not sure whether they are faster than the Homing Launchers' rockets though.

[CarimboHanky]

to this day in yet to see one of this ruiners in freeroam

[P4DR0N3]

There are some of us who have purchased them. They are fun IF you enjoy the cars perks but its damned expensive.

[RollsReus1959]

Again...they are faster and more agile.

 

It's very hard to hit something in a Buzzards HL when approaching a target head on. The cars will usually blow right past it.

 

Ruiner 2000 going towards an oncoming vehicle never fails unless said vehicle is traveling at super high speeds.

 

Ruiners HL is definitely different than others.

 

It's a guarantee kill when you're lock and loaded in one of those things.

 

I got the hopping and parachute combo down. In heavy traffic i can escape insurgents and blow up any car as i please.

[elfoam]

I'll park mine up on a skyscraper and test it out tonight

[The Wandering Hunter]

it has a map icon

it's useless vs jets as you have no chance to aim at a skilled pilot. just caplin a hydra

 

that said its missiles are really good and can do crazier sh*t than hl missiles

 

(trash pilots are trash, just throw a sniwball at them and they panic and ram a tree)

[No Homing]

Oh great more lock ons. Try a RPG next time or homing off.

[SHADOW OPS]

I am glad I purchased this now even more.

[Sky_Light12]

wikia stated they're deadlier than one from other missile vehicles and homing launcher

 

however it has 2 big flaws : limited capacity and range

but hey , who said its " truly " limited capacity ? just put it back in the garage and then bring it back , there have you go for 8 missiles

 

plus to add precision , the ruiner may need jump off or have a cargobob to carry it

 

i can't hardly wait for competitives cries to hear this
