Desert Combat 0.7 question

[mwmorph]

When you play demo, how do yuo get the darn stinger to heat seek? all im doing right now is leading the target with horrible results. also, for the SMAW, what do the marks mean on the X/Y axis, how do you know how much to aim above at a distance?

The stinger does not heat seek in desertcombat, it fires fast and in a straight line. I prefer this to the lame guidance system in BF:V and BF2.

As someone said, it's a proximity fuse and it doesn't heat seek. Aim a little ahead of your target for best results.

The X marks are for leading your target, Y marks are for elevation. Your best bet is to experiment in the game as to how far you need to aim up/down to get them to hit.

What? I like the heat seeking in bf2, that way, you don't get idiots dominating the sky

In DC you had a class that could spawn with a stinger, unless you can get to a stinger station in BF2, the plane tards will rule. I could take out any plane tards with the stinger in DC but i cant hit anything with that craptastic guidance system on the SAMs in BF2.

planes/helos still rule the sky in most maps. Vehicles are worthless, no one uses artillery because it's similarly worthless, anytime a plane or helo sneaks up on you in the desert, unless you play demolition/anti armor you're royally fuuked. As it is right now, in my favorite server the CTF MOW clan 24/7 El alamein(less than 30 ping at all times!), everyone on a team except maybe 2 play anti armor and fly nonstop. seriously the game is just too hard to pick up.

Playing in Commander mode the artillery has been great for me. I went 25-0, 35-1 in kills using just artillery. No tks either, you just have to know what you are doing, it takes a little time to figure it out.

in DC? BF2 there is artillery but in DC no one uses it since once you fire off once, a Hind or a SU25 bombs yuo to oblivion since the special ops has no anti air defense.
Besides, even in Conquwst maps, a full 1/2 of the people play anti armor since the other half blast way at you in hinds and apaches.
