AA units, and why we hate them.

Do you think the AA system is realistic?

  1. 1. Do you think the AA system is realistic?

    • No it is not. I would like an improved warning/flare/missile collision system
    • I quite like it. I think having these systems would make flying way too easy.
    • Neither of the above, state below.

That was not my point. My point was that the GBU, aka the "smart" bomb, requires a second person on the ground to designate the target, while the "dumb" bomb gets the same accuracy with no external help simply by locking it onto ANYTHING, which is something the GBU cannot do. IRL you'd have to aim the "dumb" bomb with the CCIP, and the laser-guided bomb will usually be on an aircraft with a laser designation pod of some sort so it can designate its own target as long as it has line of sight.

Or BIS for another sloppy work :/ again, community delivers much more as history already proved.

While I agree with the gripe, I see this as a business strategy for BIS. If they make this true hardcore game, they will not get the same number of sales as if they make an arcade game that is easily scale-able to a hardcore game with patches/mods.

Re: Original Post

This coming from a chopper pilot--> I like how the AA currently is, though I do see lots of room for improvement. I like the fact that if a newb is flying at 100 m close enough to a tung they are going to go down. I do think the flight dynamics should be upped so you don't get every joe schmoe trying to fly on public servers, but AA is pretty good. I would like to see some RWR when being ping'd, if applicable for the system that is tracking, and IR systems (as mentioned before) should be less accurate from head on.

Yep, hit the nail on the head. I never have. and never will why the initial release of the game is lacking and buggy, but modders can easily transform it into a masterpiece.

Maybe the whole BIS dev team should just get sacked and replaced by the best modders in the community. I think they could do a better job tbh.

The level of naivety in this statement is absolutely staggering. :eek:

Because you made a few youtube videos (admittedly very enjoyable and popular, but still), you're suddenly both an expert on marketing and an expert on game development? Perhaps when you've worked in game development for a while yourself you might actually spout things that aren't utter nonsense, from time to time.
