How to Use Anti-Air Weapons

[TheComedian]

I checked out the files and found some differences...

Stinger:
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionRadius 60
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionDamage 850
ObjectTemplate.seek.maxDistLock 850
ObjectTemplate.acceleration 380
ObjectTemplate.maxSpeed 700

SA7:
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionRadius 45
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionDamage 500
ObjectTemplate.seek.maxDistLock 700
ObjectTemplate.acceleration 200
ObjectTemplate.maxSpeed 430

This should definitely be changed imho. You can't have unbalanced weapons between the MEC and US on Kashan for instance. The stinger is superior to the strela in every way.

I wonder if the stationary AA emplacements have this logic as well.

I find it hits the most if you shoot it the second you hear the lock tone, because, as people here said the pilot gets the lock tone a few seconds after you do. To sum it up, make sure theres no flares already released (you need to look out for that before anything else), lock on, and fire ASAP.
