Let me get this straight, you want more realistic missile tracking and you propose that in order to facilitate this you propose that missiles made with technology thousands of years more advanced than our own to have tracking capabilities less than our own? Yeah, sure that makes total sense.

Currently, it is impossible to shake locked missiles. They'll loop around to hit you, make right-angle corners, and follow you to the ends of the earth. The only way to avoid impact is to put something between yourself and the barrage.

It's absolutely ridiculous, and really only hoses the two vehicle types that are not imbalanced right now, LAV's and Dropships, as tanks are slow enough to hit with dumbfire rockets.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for tracking - unguided missiles stink bad. What's not cool, however, is that no amount of velocity, transversal or otherwise, no amount of distance, no clever last-minute course-corrections, no wily acts of vehicular daring-do will shake these bastards off your trail once they have the scent. Even taking cover only works sometimes, as the missiles will often arc in around it.

I propose that if any missiles should have flawless homing capabilities (probably not), they should be an extremely low-damage variant, designed more to harass than destroy. A larger payload should result in a more unweildy missile that can curve toward targets with varying degrees of agression, but cannot defy physics - as they currently can - to persue a target as though reeled in by tow cable.

I would like to see them more easily evaded in a dropship. It feels like unless I'm already going at near max speed or if I'm at my flight ceiling, I can't evade swarms.

EDIT: on second thought, afterburners are coming next update, which should help dropships evade swarms.

Your argument is flawed... If such advanced missiles thousands of years in the future exist, why would they make Dropships without any sort of device to distract said missiles in the event of them locking on and chasing it? Is the future too advanced to employ something similar to modern-day flares?

what who where?! Afterburners? I don't need to start a thread now

Still need some changes my opinion the fueltanks are to big they have to much range and make unrealistic turns. Swarms last to long they have a almost unlimited travel time and bytime they have burned out the swarmer already has 3 or 4 more volleys in the air thats unfair for dropships that have to eather tank them or outrun them and a dropship has very low tank so we have to outrun the missiles
I relize the missiles have to be able to lock on to us at or close to are ceiling but the missiles are also streatching halfway across the field much to far 1 swarmer should only be able to cover a small portion of the map not half of it. Yes im talking skirmish if its ambush then a swarm should be able to cover half the map given its a small map

A missils turn I have literally flown straight over them so they missed and were now heading in opposite direction but they come straight back around to kill me even making some 90 degree turns wich are impossible for such a high velocity rocket based technology no matter how advance. Couple proplems here 1) missiles shouldve lost track 2) missels turn to tight
