ok what's going on

[Maximus_Lazarus]

My pile of tacviews where my missiles calmly fly by enemies is getting a little too big.

 

It's like they just never go active.

 

And i'm talking close to the point where they would almost hit even if they weren't guided at all :mad:

 

This is kind of enfuriating

[NineLine]

Would probably make sense to post examples....

[Maximus_Lazarus]

allright

 

I'll upload some

Well ?

 

I really need some comforting :cry:

[Drona]

You never really support your missiles. You just fire the missile and turnaround. The missiles are never going to hit that way.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Missiles are supported for as long as possible , in these cases for more than halfway to target

 

I mean they practically hit their target while going ballistic, at SOME point they should go active and aquire the target, but they never do

 

You can clearly see the enemy makes no evasion actions, meaning they did not get a warning tone, meaning the missiles did NOT go active, AT ALL

[GGTharos]

They're active, you just don't know what's going on.

 

If you're not supporting your missile to pitbull, it tries to scan it's entire gimbal space to find a target. This scan is slow, and since you abandon the missile too early, it's looking somewhere where the target isn't.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

then why is the enemy not going defensive ?

 

I hear people saying: "yeah i already wondered why you didn't fire " . The missile does NOT go active :-(

 

And come on, those missiles go past the target by METERS , there is simply no way it could not have found him

 

If this is the case from now on, than it may seem like they went a little overboard with the aim 120 nerfing, and you're better off carrying some ER's .

 

p.s: ET missiles are just about as useless as well, also received a nerf ?

[GGTharos]

What's happening is exactly what I said.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

So, you say the missile DOES go active, then why don't people even go the slightest bit defensive ? They aren't getting a warning signal , even though the missile is supposed to go active ?

Did you not read what I actually wrote? :)

 

The missile is scanning it's entire gimbal space. It starts when you cut the datalink to it - ie. when you abandon the missile. By the time it's close enough to the target to lock onto it, the seeker is looking somewhere else, because scanning the entire gimbal space is SLOW.

[Pilotasso]

If they do not find their target the enemies also don't have any warning at all they have being fired at.

[SkateZilla]

Basically, Stop Treating them like they are fire and forget missiles.

 

Fire, and Support the Missile through target hit.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

ahhh

 

Did NOT know that.

thx man

 

I still think it's rather silly that they won't find their target even when passing it THAT closely (literallly talking meters here) , but so be it. I also do not remember it being this way, so they probably nerfed the aim 120's .

[SkateZilla]

This isn't BF3/4, ED doesn't "Nerf" Missiles....

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Well they aren't making them more realistic either ! ;)

 

Oh and BF4 blows.

[NineLine]

Well they aren't making them more realistic either ! ;)

 

Based on what?

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Based on what?

 

 

Well, :lol:

 

 

 

you know what , i don't know .

 

I just can't imagine them being so crap IRL

[cichlidfan]

Well, ...you know what , i don't know .

 

I just can't imagine them being so crap IRL

 

ED needs more input like this. ;)

[NineLine]

Well, :lol:

Missile development is on going, that said I doubt they base their changes on your use of memes to describe what is wrong with them.

 

That said, I thought it was pointed out that you were doing something wrong, and it wasnt so much that the missiles were failing?

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

 

SERIOUSLY ?

 

COME ON :mad:

 

Missiles are borked, they've "adjusted" them, as the term "NERF" is not used in the sim community, altough taht is exactly what this is.

 

And they've adjusted them to a pile of crap

Don't you hate it when missiles are working for everyone but you?

 

Stop doing it wrong. Support your missiles! :)

IT IS SUPPORTED FOR 75% of the way

 

Then it even , as by a miracle guides itself to the target, but STILL FREAKING MISSES at mach 2 speed !

[GGTharos]

I don't care how much % it's supported for, if you don't support it to pitbull it's your own fault.

 

Now quit your complaining, enough of it.
