Does these new missiles on atk choppers mean thath you cant no longer guide the missile like TOW?

You can, but in a different way. Think of bf2 TV missiles, with camera on helicopter nose, not missile itself

The missile goes where you click instead of where you are pointing. You can update the target in flight.

It means you can fire on the move / not in a hover.

that is just AWESOME finally some actual apache fly-by's and such!

Combined with thermal imaging and the doubled firing rate on rocket pods, Attack Helicopters will be extremely lethal against all ground targets.

Does this also mean you cant fire more than 1 missile at time? As when you click new missile doesn`t fire but old guides. If its so it will be awesome. Lazing will be more important since you cant just spam all your missiles around target hoping for best.

THANK YOU DEVS! Now=More lazes and less spam. bvr also aint thath effective now whit removal of 3d markers. Thath is very interesting change indeed.
PR is best mod ever! about thath you cant hold enemy kits anymore. Well, combat engineer can be now used again for mine and IED disposal. Sorry if my text is hard to read im very tired. Gotta go sleep...see you on battefield.

No more having your shot get thrown off because the pilot suddenly moved.

Well, perhaps you should play the mod you are developing a bit more...

ah no, misunderstood the rule:
3D marker shows for distances <125m.
so finally no more bvr fire

wait so we only get a marker if we are closer than 125m to the target?

125m close to the marker, yeah.

So it's still useful for pointing out enemies, but not for cheating. Love it

right. tahts more realistic i think

What I said had nothing to do with markers, was talking about those times in the past when your shooting at a moving vehicle or even a stationary one without a lase and suddenly the pilot changes course abruptly, due to say being locked on, as of now your shot gets thrown off as soon as the chopper diverts unless you had spammed a bunch of missles. now you can just fire and forget pretty much.

Yep Rissien, works pretty good.

So click-to-target laser markers work the same way?
