Aircraft BROKEN OP

[Hngst]

I know this game is 16 years old but did they not even playtest it? Why are jets and helicopters able to survive an anti tank missile but bomb tanks and infantry with impunity as well? Literally if you try to fight a jet or attack chopper in a static AA launcher the jet/chopper will win every time... Imagine if tanks had active protection and could 1 shot every other vehicle as well as go 300kph?? That/s literally what a jet is in this game lmao

But the anti-tank class can oneshot a jet with its rocket launcher tho

Maybe but good luck hitting them, I did hit a chopper with one and it was fine lol.
I feel like infared missiles should give a warning until it's been fired, cus they don't actually transmit a signal the plane could detect... idk but a good jet player is basically playing his own game and we're just targets.

I complained a hell lot back in 2005 and nothing happened. The AA missile batteries are pretty much useless unless you really know how to use them (hint: hit and run). Jets and helis are just overpowered, it's the nature of the game. AA batteries can't even aim unless they are super close.

In online servers if you are lucky to in a team that is actively managed then you are going to grab a lot of marks, Otherwise people just fight for themselves and obviously no one wants to do AA so you are on your own. Good jet players can sometimes grab 50 or even 80 scores with very few deaths. I like to do AA because the satisfaction is a lot and as long as you bring down one jet/heli during a game it's good enough for me.

Yeah exactly jet players don't care about the game too. But it's a dead game so your complain won't go anywhere. I mean either eat it like me, or learn how to flight jets. It's not that hard. Practice with single player games, use a joystick and memorize the AA positions are you are pretty good.
