Here's a genius idea: fly behind something and break the lock.
Whether I'm in a jet or helicopter, if I get locked onto, the first thing I do after deploying flares/ECM is put something in between me and the launcher. If I'm in a chopper, fly low behind a building. If I'm in a jet, fly flow and get behind one of the many mountains.
And finally, with the SOFLAM, you can also climb to a higher altitude. SOFLAM's can't look up very far.This is a good time to lay down my experience. 50+ hours piloting transport helos alone in BF3 with thousands of kills between my gunners. Top 20 Jet global leaderboard in the first few months. I know what I'm doing when I'm flying, bro.
Anyways, here are the facts:
- You don't know when you are being locked on while in a Transport, it bugs out. You have a lock tone while in an attack helo, not a Transport. That means you won't know when you are being locked until the missile is actually fired.
- Flares do not distract javelin missiles in a Transport.
- Missiles like Javelins do a top attack, which means the only way to dodge them is to fly under a bridge. On maps like Oman and Firestorm that isn't possible around 80% of the map.
It's unbalanced when more than 25% of their team has lock-on, which is every game last time I played.
