Wow, it's almost like monitoring your surroundings and being prepared is important or something.

get a flare between you and the missile, keep distance to the flare (54m+ if Im not wrong)
=> AA players will complain more about AA being underpowered, than you complaining about it being overpowered

the problem is, there is no chance of survival. there is no more dogfight or manual bomb run. there is no more escaping in full burner, there is nothing but missiles exploding everywhere. When u get locked, ur dead, end of story. So right now, the game is to spot the enemy jet before he spots you.

Oh I didn't know your opinion was final, maybe it's because you flare too early and/or you're just shit at CAS?
But hey you're right anyway.

im trying to say, when the enemy see you before you see him, and he fires a long range missile, you are dead, no matter the skills. I know its easy and very popular to tell a cas player 'you are shit'. But please, try it yourself, and have the balls to record it and post it here in this forum.
Exactly, you dont
So until that time, please try to contribute

yes exactly, this is what i mean. Thanks for recording this. As u can see the first time it kills while in a turn. the second time it hits flares which are updated now, see virus his video with hilarious results. 3rd time is just like its intended to be. It hits while i fly just in a straight line

I have the great feeling the patches which bring drama everytime for jets and helicopters with updates is not going away. it will only increase to make cas players go away from the stage. Like squad is never gonna introduce jets and stuff.

Jets are balanced. That's why we played so many jet maps in the PRT.

The problem is there's no chance of survival. Running around a corner blindly as infantry, only to get blasted in the face. There is no more dolphindiving, bunny hopping, there is nothing but bullets in your face.
The game is mostly always about whoever sees who first wins, that's why being aware of your surroundings and listening to information is key. If this game was a 50/50% no matter who saw who first, then what's the point in intel anyway? If you could just hit X the moment you get locked, why would I ever use missiles? I'd just sneak up and gun you down in one 0.3s burst, you'll still have no chance of survival. In this case there is 0% chance of survival, you can't flare to survive bullets.
If you want to come in for manual bombing, drop flares fare before entering visual range and in 9/10 cases the people on ground will be whining that AA is fucking useless.

If the PRT is what decides balanced then the only thing balanced in the entire game is Saaremaa inf.
