Hey, I am glad the missles "work" now, but the problem originally, at least to me, was that they would seemingly streak for your target and pull off as soon as a friendly became available.
Now, they are performing beyond possible/probable phyics. No sub-sonic or faster missle can bank at >90 degrees. That was the trick prior to the patch, fly in "hemi-spheres" to avoid all missles. Now missles will track at impossible angles. I have no problem with taking a head-on or up-the-pipe shot, but oblique angles are not possible and even though this is not a sim, it is just laughable. As far as base flubbin' copters go, well they should be destroyable but there is always spawning elsewhere. I think they should be more vulnerable to the shoulder mounted rockets to even out the base threat...spawn and blow that puppy up. Rather than adapt to the game as-is we keep whining for changes. In truth, there should be nothing more than some light attack choppers on a few of the maps with no planes IMHO. What's really funny is how we all complain or laugh at the complainers, whine about how poorly the game is built...yet we all still talk about it and play it.
