BF2 infantry need to have a stinger

[Schadenfroh]

Im not saying all the classes should have a handheld stinger but the antitank should. I mean, in BF:V and in DesertCombat you could all spawn with a stinger. I would also like to have the option of turning the guidance off on the missile and just let it fire fast and straight (like the ones in DC). I feel at the mercy of the plane tards.

I was deadly with the Stinger in DC. I really miss it too

I already have the basic badge for air defense. On some maps, I just stay in them all the time. Manning the AA, ever since BF1942, has always been one of the greatest contributions you can make to your team.

I think the regular anti-tank missiles shouldn't be guided..give some more skill to them and create a tradeoff for having the anti-tank guys spawn with a stinger.

I like my solution better, just make the current AA less likely to lock onto friendly targets. Specifically, I'd rather that if AA misses its target, it stops seeking and just flies off like a dummy missile. This would promote AA useage and that would really be all you need. Right now firing at enemy jets is stupid because EVERYTIME the enemy jet flares them or spins and they hit some unsuspecting teamates chopper or jet.

you are supposed to feel that way...
thats why AA and Fighters are important just like in real warfare... and have a valid place in the game. if everyone has AA weps airplanes become just a gimmic with no real place in the game... right now they can be the differnce between winning and losing just as in real life.. the team with air superiority usually wins.

if you dont have pilots that can keep air superiority.. get some and that problem goes away.
if they too busy looking for that fighter on thier ass they cant drop bombs now can they =)

Exactly... some jet pilots out there are unbelievable. I mostly fly chopper, rarely fly jets. When I've got a jet locking on to me constantly while I'm flying, it makes it extremely hard to do anything BUT try to drop flares and use evasive action.

If both teams have good pilots, or are decent with AA, then during the game if I am using armor, I rarely have any encounters with choppers/jets. But if my team has pilots that like to crash into mountains or cranes, then the choppers/jets decimate ever vehicle we have.
I think the game is fine the way that it is in that respect. Hell, well placed Anti-tank rockets can take down choppers sometimes.

I have shot down plenty of helicopters with the anti-tank kit in BF2. You can actually steer these somewhat if you didn't know. Just have to time it right and wait for when the chopper is moving very slow or hovering. Good luck shooting down a jet though. But I agree, the lack of infantry based portable anti-air weapons kinda sucks.

Oh, and in BF:V you only got a stinger if you played Viet Cong.

[edit] heck, I've even taken down choppers with a well placed grenade from the grenade lobber using the assault kit. This kind of thing usually happens when idiots are trying to hover in a chopper next to a capturable flag. Ripe for the picking.

I am only saying that one class should have a stinger, not all of them.
