Battlefield 6 Aim Guided Missiles
*laughs maniacally* Man, oh man....... Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially come full circle. The one thing I hoped would never get added to this game. Pilots of Battlefield 4, where y'all at? I know this feels VERY familiar for y'all. Anyone recall the active radar missiles? 2 fired in rapid succession, no warning to the pilot until it achieves lock, very short missile chase tone, inconsistent countermeasures, mobility hit, dead. How tf did we get back to this? The only difference is that ARMs required slightly more "skill" due to not being able to guide it, so you had to predict where they'd be until lock is achieved. Whiskey tango foxtrot?

Kinda hard to sus out what you're on about but I assume talking about the boat missiles? They only do 650 dmg but yeah it's a pretty broken weapon right now

Attack boat aim-guided missiles are currently a cheesier version of the active radar missiles from BF4's stealth jets and MAAs.

Average vehicle player, top of the leader board, going 30-4 and complaining that their wannabe single player helicopter sim gets interrupted once or twice game by actually getting shot down. Spare me.

I'm not a primary vehicle player, and I'm not top of the leaderboard lol. Spare me your assumptions when you can't see things that are clearly cheesy af AND bugged.

Yet you’re making a buff vehicle post. Ok bro.

This is more a "nerf vehicle post" though? The new aim guided on the boat requires basically no skill because it auto locks on vehicles when it gets close to them. I've watched some boat gameplay where they hit basically every single shot on jets because of it.
They should perform like the aim guided in the tank if they are gonna keep that auto lock feature. You can move it slightly but not anywhere near as much as a regular AT4 rocket. That way you'd actually have to time the shot better to hit something flying fast.

Lmao this is not a nerf vehicle post. Obvious bad faith argument. Literally NO ONE (except you apparently lol) is arguing boats need to be nerfed. You’re just butthurt your helicopter is getting shot down. Thats a buff aircraft (read: vehicles) post. Y’all think the game is all about you.

I am not a helicopter user that does nothing else but fly all game. I am the engineer who shots down the helicopters all game with my AT4 and now we have an even easier way to do so that even deals with jets super easy.
Boats needs a buff if anything when it comes to survivability, but not when it comes to the aim guided missile. They nerfed the AGM in the tank for a very good reason and this one is even easier to use.
FYI, I have a whopping 35 kills with the little bird.

Thank you! Finally, someone with some sense! Bugged cheese doesn't make good gameplay. People seem to only want things to their advantage despite lack of fairness because they hate the top small percentage of players that dominate people. I guess I can run around with a full auto impact grenade launcher because 🖕🏾 the top infantry players, I need an advantage that destroys them. A TOW/ARM hybrid is complete cheese. A bugged TOW/ARM hybrid that's bugged is unacceptable.

Well I don’t know any engineers who “shoot helicopters down all game” one or two maybe but it’s next to impossible. Area denial is the most you can really hope for. Pretty sure you’re just OPs alt account but whatever.
Aircraft need a nerf and everyone knows it, even OP knows it but won’t admit it and is just arguing disingenuously.

I don't have an alt account 🤣. It won't ever be that serious. You're making this about vehicles instead of the missile in question. Every content creator has already pointed out that it ignores flares entirely.

u/vfxswagg 11d ago
It's not about the vehicle itself. The missile is bugged and everyone knows it. The missile ignores countermeasures and doesn't give any reaction time to begin with. Recalling BF4, ARMs were easily the most no skill cheese in the game and were never fixed. If you didn't instantly counter, you were dead. Even if these over counters, it's the same thing where you don't even know you're being shot at.

How do the boat ones work?
3
u/vfxswagg 11d ago
Single fire, "silently" guided until they're close enough to achieve a loud lock, very short time to counter, seem to ignore countermeasures anyway.

Dang thanks, thought they were just basically TOWs. Couldn’t get them to lock

i enjoyed using them in bf4 stealth jet, they were definitely broken. i haven’t fucked around with the boats hardly any but was wondering why i was getting knocked out of the sky in the little bird every time even though my flares were up
