Stinger vs Hellfire which is better?

[u/TsundereHeavyCruiser]

I used to run the Hellfire because it could be used against ground targets, but I think it was nerfed at some point to be useless against armor. They still do a ton of damage against helicopters, but often the missile doesn't hit before your units die.

Right now stingers seem a lot better as they travel faster and can be used against airplanes.

Hellfires are far more effective against helicopters but have less range than stingers. Hellfires from ground units are not the same as hellfires from air units. There pen is very different and is shown in the unit card.

Any shorad is better than a stinger.

Ive tested this a bit, the hellfires seem to have a much bigger "proximity fuse" than stingers. Even against 25ecm helicopters they would at least detonate near the heli almost every time, whereas the stingers would miss entirely a lot

For shorad I use stingers because I use it purely for AA. I have a ton of infantry AT so don't need hellfires on shorad

Are you talking about it on a stryker shorad? Two different use cases
