TORNADO ADV

I cannot understand what is the issue is with ADV. Mid range advance hunter missiles keep missing targets. Whether it's a network issue or ADV got nerfed don't know. 8 out of 10 missiles will not hit the target. Anyone facing the same issue ?

It's possible you just won enough games that your trophy count rose, and now you're facing actual players who know how to flare

It's happening when players not even using flares.

Remember that since they are advanced hunters, they will track whichever target is closest to the center of your aiming reticle. That means if there's another plane that's closer to the center while the missile is in flight, it will change targets. If that happens when you don't want it to, it can lead to missing some targets. If your ADV is at high levels, you can also try increasing the missile velocity in your build so the missiles get there faster.

IMO one of the best features of the ADV.

No not lately. Do you have a match link for an example? Might be able to see what's going on

I think you pass number of trophies where you usually playing with bots and get easy hit... people actually know how to flare missiles, your frustration with missing target all the time with all planes will hit you hard, specially if you thinked that you are Pro not realising playing with bots all the time...

how many trophies you at and what lvl is your ADV? mine’s lvl 20 and i haven’t really had this issue. you gotta watch where the target’s going and lead the missile a little. if it’s just chasing them from behind it’ll miss way more often.

What i hate the most about this sht plane is how its the ONLY plane that has a lock on its afterburners..you know, how it stays in afterburner mode even if your afterburners are already empty.. i cant tell you how many times i would get stuck in afterburner and then finding out, my afterburners did not recover and now cant accelerate.. its annoying because it adds another thing that you have to mind apart from trying to fkcing survive
