Hey,is anybody else here have a hrd time controling the new TV missile?
I like the concept, just move the mouse, but at didtance the missiles speedis so fast that getting it on target seem almost impossible!!!!!

I guess its designed to counter the one pilot switch and tv guide kinda person, these are perhaps the only thing in the game that requies skill... i'm sure as hell not going to complain, I'd be more annoyed if they were dumbed down. If they're gonna do any dmg at all let them make it hard to use, this is after all the only weapon a gunship has to effectively take out AA turrets.

To answer your question yes my accuracy with them is about 10% :(
It just takes time.

Don't get me wrong, I love the challenge, it wouldn't be fun if it was too easy.
But do you have any suggestion other than alot of practice?

ummm... tell your pilot to get a good angle? lol. Not had all that much practice when i've been on ts with the pilot. I'll have to give it a good try. Sorry

No worries man, my brothe rand I play alot, and I have a TS server running on my pc so it makes it easier to communicate. In BF2 he would pilot and I would gun in the attack helo. Lots of destruction and everybody running the other way muuhahahahahaha

Humm, I guess to learn only to make little movements with the mouse :o

I guess this was the point, in the attack heli, I was like a flying god, especcially with my brother flying. now i have to work alot harder to get those long shot accross the map kills

I think they've made it a little too hard now, I wouldn't worry about the gunship being too effective with the ridiculous amount of AA guns in the game, and once people start getting the AA unlock, its going to get even worse. The TV missile is crucial for taking out those AA guns from far away, I think the missille speed needs to be reduced.

If its gonna be that hard, then they should increase the distance

Yes its very hard, but I think we will get used to it eventually.

But at the same time you dont want them to overpowered, I have a feeling they might be changed in a later past.

If they did this, you would have ppl, knoking out mechs and tanks from the VSTOL pad at their base IMO.

God I hope they don't nerf this one, change can be good, but can also cripple a weapon that wasn't to bad to begin with

True, I did that all the time in BF2 before the decreased the distance.

They're getting there. In the beta, they were amazingly fast, impossible to hit something with.

Now, they are quite slow (I killed my first 3 victims in the demo with this puppy). Even though it is "sluggish", it's not as bad as the beta. I'm sure they'l get there with future patches.

Definitely very awkward to use. I thought having to just move the mouse to guide the missile would be good, but I can't hit anything with it (yet).

The only trick i've found with the new TV guided missle is to only make very slight movements while directing it until you have become accustomed to its speed. After you get the hang of it, remember to fire a little early so that you can account for your targets movement while you're guiding it. I love the added difficulty as now you can feel good about getting a kill with it, whereas the bf2 tv guide was fairly simple and easily dominated the map.
