It says on the description that it has a gun, rockets, and Air to Air missiles??? So does that mean that you could probably shoot down planes? or lock onto other helos??? No more guided missile???

Modern attack choppers can and do carry stingers.
The Apache & Hind as well can carry stingers or the russian version of a stinger they just did not put them in the SF game.

No need no fighter aircraft to shoot down.

This will make it very intersting for the jet jocks if the aa stays as it is with choppers carrying aa missile's.
They will have to deal with air mobile aa threat as well.

Yet, at the same time, it seems that they lack the powerful TV-Guided Missile.

Not really a gain, in my opinion. Simply a trade. Unless I'm mistaken?

Doesnt matter what the load out will be, the thing wont be in the air long enough to shoot anything with the uber-AA in 1.2!!

AA missiles on a helicopter don't make any sense in this game, especially if you have to sacrifice TV missiles for it.

Try getting a lock on a jet with your copter, lol, just try.

Well if the OP isnt taking the **** it would be nice to have the choice or something :p when the pilot gets in first pick AA or the TOW. The commander could make a choice at start of the map as well i guess. The real Tiger is made in anti tank and support (anti infantry ?) versions, which both have AA and AT missiles.

meh... Eurocopter Tiger (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/tiger/)

No aircraft to shoot down in SF Al3x but the helo's the Hind & Apache can carry aa missiles in fact if you look close at the Hind in SF they are there you just can't shoot em.

As for Euro they have new aircraft to shoot at.

Don't worry Alcorr I think the situation will get better we may have to wait till the next patch. But I am optimistic in the mean time have to look for ways around the aa more teamwork aircraft must bomb aa sites squads must also attack aa and kill the enemy & take the flag.

Well I hope next patch fixes this, because we can't rely on teammates to capture flags or jets to bomb AA sites just to SURVIVE for more than 4 seconds....that lunacy...
