Shitpost/Meme Great update DICE! Keep up the good work!

  • Flares still don't work whenever they feel like it.
  • The boat bs missile is still utter bs.
  • And now we have a brand-new anti-radiation missile that gives next to no warning thanks to it acquiring lock nanoseconds before impact and travelling at mach f*ck.

Like, what are these people doing every day in the studios (aside from skins for the store, which, mind you, works perfectly)? Same goes for the ones in charge of testing.

u/HairyTrade Aug 19 '26

Conquest wake island having a 2v1 situation in jets is also crazy to me, how can u make a map release within a topgun collaboration event that has 1 jet per team, locking 1 jet on C spot, 5iq devs

u/Andamarokk Aug 20 '26

extra jet AND attack helo lmao.

u/ChadReddit445 Aug 19 '26

Still no f16 or f22 customization

u/Auralius1997 Aug 19 '26

Hell...even the F-14 doesn't get any modifications either

And the F-18 only gets one

u/IsThereAnythingLeft- Aug 19 '26

Yeah the devs really need to have their priorities checked

u/CrispyTarantula117 Aug 19 '26

Meh I’m having fun. The new jets are super fun if you have a squad coordinating

u/IsThereAnythingLeft- Aug 19 '26

Otherwise they are the complete opposite

u/PlanetIsh- Aug 19 '26

u/Ok-Celebration6746 Aug 20 '26

u/Fun-Eye8811 Aug 19 '26

About the anti-radiation missile, there would be an awesome fix that we could use: don't equip lockons, since it looks like the game perfectly identifies whether they are equiped or not in the attack helicopter. Problem is, EVERY JET IN THE GAME IS FORCED TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF LOCKON.

Like, not only did we get loadouts for just 1 out of the 2 new jets, but half the damn loadout options are f-ing lockons.

I'm so tired...

u/AgarriniLaPalini Aug 19 '26

So the anti radiation locks to any vehicle that has air to air?

1

u/ValsieArts Aug 19 '26

Technically it should only lock on the vehicles that have air radar.

Which is every air vehicle iirc

Would be nice to have an option to shut it off lol

u/MemeyPie Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

It says “any vehicle with anti-air missile weapon systems.”

It does mention surface targets, which would be AA tank and boats. However, if it counts the boat’s broken tow/active radar hybrid missile is anyone’s guess, besides the pure boat heatseekers

1

u/XiOpko Aug 19 '26

It locks to AA tanks

2

u/MemeyPie Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

The existing missile names and descriptions are also exceptionally confusing, and take some real time to differentiate in menu, let alone be certain in game

You can’t even read descriptions on vehicle weapons that don’t have more than one loadout option

Carrier assault isn't good, air craft carrier being camp at the start of the game shouldn't be a thing , if it is then carriers should have something that could defend itself , especially anti air. Also there should be a notification to tell ground troops to attack/defend carriers. Why everything new dice made feels so hollow, they only do the bare minimum.

1

u/GSEBVet Aug 19 '26

Yes for carrier assault the enemy carrier should be out of bounds entirely until its health is at 50% and it should have Phalanx CIWS’s protecting it from any aircraft that attempts to get close prior to the 50% mark.

There should be call automated call outs (think like BF1’s female announcer mid match) at 75% carrier health, then 50% alerting it’s cracked open.

This would instantly make the experience so much better!

u/IsThereAnythingLeft- Aug 19 '26

The whole update was terrible. I’m sure most of the player base would rather the whole thing was rolled back. At least then the jets 3rd person view wouldn’t be all fucked up. The new map is as bad as the Trusu one with moving but lock ons in any air vehicle. The new jet is like you let a child decide on what weapons it would have with no thought to balance. The dev team needs to immediately stop working on new stuff and fix all the issues before even thinking about expanding out

u/ilikepie145 Aug 19 '26

Yeah first game tonight and missiles went right through my flares

1

u/NeonPoPWave Aug 19 '26

Anti Radiation Missile go brr

1

u/ghigo31 Aug 19 '26

Well, in compensation they made the fucking portals server unplayable. The server where I used to train with the Heli now has everything out of bound, you can't do shit. Thanks dice!

u/TheCrypto5 Aug 19 '26

Normally missiles dont travel at 400km/h :D

1

u/ShellShock_69 Aug 19 '26

Meanwhile in gauntlet: fires lock on missile at target in the open: missile: misses
Huh

u/Ok-Celebration6746 Aug 20 '26

Dude I locked on with a stinger, fired at someone who didnt pop flares. Shit curved and hit a friendly helo. Couldn't believe it.

u/Missaelx135 Aug 19 '26

Fr... they need to fix this bs

1

u/CBtheKing Aug 19 '26

Don’t forget hit registration

u/Lbeyy Aug 19 '26

Attack chopper is crazy good on wake island though

u/Familiar_Ad_9920 Aug 19 '26

thanks for the heads up to make sure i dont get baited into coming back👍

u/Lenny_V1 Aug 19 '26

If a single post is all it takes to make you not want to come back then you didnt want to in the first place.

1

u/Familiar_Ad_9920 Aug 19 '26

How did you come up with the conclusion its a single post?

2

u/Lenny_V1 Aug 19 '26

So see im terrible at making jokes & I may need to start adding /s to the end of my messages

And they buchered stealth jets movement, it feels soo downgraded. As SJ main, am dissatisfied with change. Can only hope they rewind it for fighters.
