*A SRAW

I pronounce it es-raw. That's why I used "an" instead of "a". If you pronounce it differently, be my guest to use a different indefinite article. And don't be a grammar nazi on the internet. People hate your kind.

If you make that excuse you have to do the same for the SMAW, if you don't already. Do you pronounce it as es-MAW? If you don't than you can't make the excuse of es-RAW when they are almost the exact same thing. If you disagree with my argument try arguing that you want to ban one thing for being green when you don't ban the other green things.

Jeez. You don't have to be such a bitch. I was trying to make a joke.

+JTHMsonicfan I think the IGLA should be a 2 shot on choppers because of the holding lock.

I hope in the Next Battlefield game they avoid this whole issue by actually having things balanced well at launch.

True, helisuckers must suffer

ok so i am in defense of the helicopters (please dont murder me) but im not a heliwhore because of people who use stingers/iglas. mainly because as soon as i spaan 10 seconds later ive been locked on by 5 or more stingers and die immediately. and seeing as how there is tanks, AA's, rpgs, soflam, miniguns, jets and other helicopters to worry about i think that being instakilled is a bit overpowered

but, you have to take in to account that driving a chopper/heli takes skill as well.

I never knew that. All I do is ADS the SRAW and if I break my ADS it will just go straight UP. BTW I always use SRAW as a anti-camping tool (I'm not a SRAW expert)

really? I thought that it will still follow your POV.

it makes the game balanced ... imagine all infantry players running javelins .. the tank on vehicle drivers have no chance ... whats the point ?

Like the 'JDAM' ? which is just the name of the guidance system and not the ordinance?

im against realism if it makes the game unbalanced ... games are for fun and things spoils the fun for one and gives an unfair advantage to another ... they ought to remove them

***** I agree with you completely, however I do think it deserves a slight buff...to either its damage or make it 'fire and forget'...not both....only 1 on them since right now its not balanced, it's underpowered...at least IMO.

I just wish that you could fire at more than just vehicles with the Javelin like you can with a real one but, that could be a little unbalanced

nice one

I was thinking this roght now

Well, I see quite a few people who don't know what an objective is, and run right past them, or even the process of killing enemies. So, it's not just that.

a lot of people are blind when it comes to weapon pick ups and pretty much everything else

Totally agree with you. There are more times than not that I use stingers and the heli just flares or whatever and gets away from being destroyed. The fact that vehicles generally take 3+ hits from a rocket to be killed is pretty ridiculous to begin with. As a poster above noted, a real life javelin will absolutely destroy a tank in one shot. (it also is not reloadable) I dunno. It is always strange to me how Dice like to be hyper realistic in some respects and unrealistic in others.

From what I've seen a lot of things can take a heli out of the sky, so if you've got a crap pilot he's going to get royally owned. I've never called anti air launchers bad because I'm just awful at spotting the soldier who's firing it. As it is now the balance is fine, which is exactly why it takes two rockets to take out a chopper.

The fact that they can ignore flares and have a 450m range is why I considered them OP. 1 guy can deny a map to air.. Imo thats OP.

3minence It's not just about being as realistic as possible, it's about BALLANCE in real life a single shot to the head will take you out but if we make ever 1000 rpm guns a one shot to the head how is it fun? same with a javelin 1 hitting a tank it takes tanks completely out of the game and renders them useless.

You forget that also in real life, bullets damage aircraft. I would rather see standard guns do damage to aircraft than have stingers. I appreciate the fact that helis are annoying when you are playing infy, and the urge to stinger is strong, but I hate being shot down by stingers, because it is mostly from either people going on the offensive with a lock on weapon, or some buthurt heli/jet pilot that got shot down trying to get a cheap revenge.

yeah but they balanced it

In real life a Javelin Warhead costs the same price as a Porsche, Maybe they are not real javelin warheads

Backtothere maybe it fires mini-coopers

JTelli786 Or "smart" for 2s?

***** Doubt it. Its not a fire-and-forget anymore remember? So its definitely not a Smart rocket. xD

You just summed up all of my matches ever.

sadly, it's so true for me too :c

So many lone wolves it gets annoying

there are some good players, even lone wolves, i'm not saying they're all crap. but if the whole team worked together and communicated it would be so much better. in bf3 we had 1 squad running soflam/jav for vehicles/air and then two squads each with a tank/support/engineer and assault and they were so well in sync about their situational awareness that they took objectives fast and it took the other team 15mins to wipe just 1 tank squad. bf4 could be the same if people smartened up and put the team before themselves. >-

This guy speaks the truth. Needs of the many....

It does take a bit of practice.

Anonymous6654794 I have been looking for a day now and well, there's nothing.

Still better than the AAmines that simply tickle you. the MBT law Is interesting Also UEF FTW

i call stinger/igla the weapons of shame...only those whithout dignity can use them

I'm also a huge fan of helis, but you gotta face the facts. I mean, when you're in a chopper killing enemies how do you expect the enemies to kill you?, I mean let's be honest to hit a chopper with an RPG or s-raw you need to have a certain degree skill that not all players can master so easily, which is why is 1 hit kill, but even if they're good with those if you're a good pilot, you can manage to avoid them most of the times, unless you get really close, even you said it, you "nod in respect" because is not easy to do. My point is that infantry needs to have something else to defend themselves from a scout and attack heli, otherwise we as pilots would just waste them, we just don't get close enough to be in danger of RPG's and we're set through the match. But I also see your point and share your frustration as pilot (here's my battlelog: PS3:battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/Kanon_of_Gemini/stats/348142308/ps3/ and here's the PS4:battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/Kanon_of_Gemini/stats/348142308/ps4/) As you can see I friggin love Scout Helis, anyway, if you ask me it would be better if dice nerf the stinger a little in order to require more skill to use it, I don't know, maybe if take a longer time to lock on, and make the stinger an always lock on weapon too, make the chopper not so easily destroy-able, you know what I mean? there are times when even after a hit you manage to land it but the heli is still spinning and if the tail hit something even if it goes like 1 m/p and your heli is still with half life it gets destroyed... that's so frustrating, there are 32 enemies on the opposite team and only 1 persona with 1 stinger is all it takes to take you down... I'm not even gonna mention the MAA, all I'm gonna say about it is that I can tolerate it if it's not using active radar missiles and if it's NOT CAMPING IN ITS BASE BY HIS CENTURION.

Do you know how hard it is to take a helicopter out with those, I mean really all your asking for is Air Dominance.

AlXV the scout heli is powerful enough and you can easily outrange the stinger. What dice should do is remove any and all impact effect from the SAM's. Way, way to many times both the pilot and the shooter get frustrated by the non-kill and the crash into the ground with 30% HP

There's definitely a fine line of balance when it comes to the lock on weapons vs the countermeasures. You can't have the countermeasures replenish too fast because then it would make the lock-on weapons useless. What's the point of firing multiple stingers if they are all flared away easily one after another. But you certainly shouldn't implement such slow replenishing countermeasures that three stinger missiles can hit you before you get them recharged. I think the stinger and IGLA should both require you to have to maintain a lock for it to be effective. They both do the same damage, so it's literally just luck of the draw as to what faction you spawn in as at the start of the game. You also have to realize as a heli or jet pilot that if you're constantly being locked over a certain area, you need to change your tactics. To avoid being taken out, just run away from the area once you deploy countermeasures. DICE definitely needs to add below radar back in to the game, and have it actually work against stingers and IGLAs also, unlike BF3 where it was SUPPOSED to break the lock of an IGLA or stinger, but never did. It's a very fair trade-off. As a pilot, you can either fly low to avoid lock on weapons but leave yourself at risk of being taken out by a tank shell or RPG, or you can fly high and avoid those tanks and RPGs, but he exposed to easy fire and forget lock-on weapons.

AlutaShade That is funny, On almost every map you can change your tactics all you like, but if a team wants to kill you with stingers then you can't even hide in your deployment. That you put you at a risk of being in one area where you are easily hit by a jet or an AA. I would like to see global stats of Attack Heli's VS Tanks or Jets.

AlutaShade There would be no point in having a Stinger AND an IGLA if both required you to maintain lock and did the same amount of damage. The Stinger is a fire & forget weapon for a reason. If you don't have time to stare at an air target then you use that. The factions are just different soldier skins and don't determine what weapons you start off with. Unlike in BF3 there are no faction specific weapons so if you have the IGLA unlocked you can use it while playing as the US or Chinese soldiers. I do agree with the below radar thing.

Only on air vehicles.

hioeo One Hit Kill

Damian Nunn mine was better.

@@hioeo true

Yea, it's got a faster reload and more damage than smaw, and the drop can be learned

Yeah, those the only reason I use the IGLA is the range. I mostly play on legacy operations conquest large, so sure that has something to do with it lol

the extra range on the igla makes it far better. combined with team work, it's generally better than the stinger because of how much range you get

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment.

Shlomi Vinny *LevelCapGaming ROCKS

good point PeterLarrys

***** dyslexia bro i feel your pain.

yeah caplevel is a pretty awesome player I just hope he can answer my question. if he doesn't I'll ask factorX or Oimitam :-)

You do realize that after the series of nerfs the guidance is completely useless on it? The missile currently has a lock range of 15 meters and an acceptance angle of 10 degrees, so the missile can only lock at targets in a circle of 5.2 meters diameter 15 meters in front of it - in other words it would have hit the target (tank, LAV) even if it didn't have guidance in almost all cases.

It's pwn :D

oh my shenanigans

Agreed.

The Igla is the only one that can relock, and you can still easily dodge it with proper flying and ground cover use. Your countermeasures give you time to evade. If not, Q.Q somewhere else.

Eleolius Yep, just take care of the infantry that shot the rocket when he tries to re-gain his lock, standing still looking at the sky.

Eleolius play the attack chopper on Golmud Railway see how you survive between the MAA and all the lock-ons not to mention the jets.

SneakyPolack You would survive just fine with someone with a repair tool and proper flying yesterday me and my teammate survived almost half a conquest match. You can't expect to stay up the whole match man.

Same for Xbox One. also you can still dubblfire javlens on console

Yh... It's a fucking joke. Try playing Obliteration on Paracel Storm. You constantly get Javelin fucktards spawning on the parachute and just shitting all over the Attack Boat. 1 Javelin can critical hit the boat and stop it from moving then from there you are fucked by the other 2 javelins as you can't move. They also need to remove heat seeking weapons from being used when parachuting, because getting stingered/javelined from the sky is just beyond a joke.

AccuracyBeast Except it's a good way to flank tanks and take choppers by surprise.

Yes same with stingers on last gen as well... Fucking bullshit honestly

AccuracyBeast It's a valid tactic and has made the team I was on win more than a few times.

Check the link.

ZMowlcher A little lazy, no? This is supposed to be an all encompassing guide. How much longer would it have taken him to add those stats in to the video? 20 seconds for each rocket launcher?

Dude, havent you done this in elementary school? Its easy to figure out.

hioeo I don't recall calculating rocket launcher damage in my Elementary school.

Rob Leonard While it may seem to take another "20 seconds" in reality anything more you do in editing equates to much more time overall. The link has all the damage stats you need. I will keep that in mind for future guides though!

Well he was an idiot flying where theres 0 cover so he should be hit. I think flares are fine actually, the ah was way too good in bf3 and even with the nerfs i can do very well in them in bf4. You really need to have a good pilot, and thats what i like from bf3, where any scrub could kill half your team. I think they need to remove mobility hits from lock on rockets and increase the speed of ah and theyll be fine

Android602715 Whats wrong with an effective vehicle? The attack boat is crazy good on maps with no jet, and the attack jet can one strafe anything...

Well that’s mainly because the next battlefields went back in time :/

newest bf is by far the biggest downgrade

Hey there mr selfish!

Selfish WTF

im sure you are

antonio505 People who brag are generally not liked. Pretty much everyone has shot down helicopters with dumb fire rockets, it's not that big of an achievement.

Yeah if you use the estingers or the maw but the RPG has alot of rocket drop you have to aim at the chopper not directly but over the chopper as the rocket falls it will hit the chopper. Plus ass hole I wasn't bragging I was saying how I prefer the RPG and how I do good with it. Jealous haters ass holes come and talk shit like you.

BFFs Engineer fail

Branco Mols You just can't fire two shots with the jav but you can reacquire

Cp12345737 anti air duh

Smaw person, because rpg's are good at close range yes, but they drop and are slower. I prefer the smaw because if you are good you will hit them

COLONEL!!!!!!!!!!! have you unlocked your bipod knife yet? :P

I rarely ever used the stinger, IGLA, and even the javelin in Battlefield 3. I'm a Colonel 100 with almost 1,500hrs logged on the game and I have less than 100 kills with each of those launchers. Probably not even over 100 kills with them combined. My javelins always just get deterred from tanks popping smoke, and not many people ran with a soflam. So they seemed useless to me. I trust my skills with an RPG far more than I do with a lock-on weapon. I have no problem leading targets and am fully aware of the angles needed to hit a tank with an RPG to receive maximum damage (you can two-shot a tank with an RPG in the rear at a 90° angle provided they aren't running reactive armor). As for the stingers and IGLAs, it always seemed like mine would easily get flared away or the jet/heli would ECM and I would never get a hit. I've tried and tried to take air vehicles out with them consistently and it just never works in my favor. However, any time I'm piloting an attack chopper, I'm getting locked from the enemy's spawn even though I'm on the other side of the map and I deploy flares, but they fail and I still get hit. Or I'm starting to get locked, I pop ECM to break it, but somehow the enemy was still able to acquire a lock and the missile just spins and spins around my chopper and then re-locks after my ECM cloud disappears and I get hit. Can't even tell you how many times I've raged because my flares or ECM failed and an enemy got a kill on me, then in the death screen he's miles away from where my chopper was. So fucking annoying, stingers worked for everyone else in the game but me :(

All they needed to do was have one HVM on each map with air vehicles out in a very exposed spot and also have below radar. There fixed

I personally use the stinger defensively. I don't hound one air target down like most assholes do I just use it when being threatened directly from an air target. Makes the game much more fair. I actually find that if you conserve ammo and only use it if you're being directly attacked by air than conserve ammo for multiple air threats.

Jarod Miller This is what I do as well. I almost always run with the RPG or Smaw, but if an attack heli or jet is being especially annoying or can't be taken down easily, I'll pull out the stinger/IGLA and spam the hell out of it. Basically, I only use it if there is a huge threat on the enemy team that is dominating the map and causing difficulties for the rest of us.

Jarod Miller wish more people left well enough alone until provoked...:P

Grayson Young I embrace it in my arms and hold it dear.

My way of describing them: SMAW: Ease of use launcher. (well kind of anyway, obviosly harder than MBT-LAW but easier than RPG, use when you think you're not a newb or noob, but not pro either) RPG: Good ol' high risk, high reward machine. And I wouldn't want it another way. SRAW: Deceptively dificult (wire guided, but VERY SLOW), but fun to use as well. STINGER: Fire and Forget, nuff said. IGLA: Not neccesarily harder to use, but you need to actually do some effort besides firing it. Speed demon though. Also chains less frequently MBT-LAW: Welcome to BF4 here's an MBT for some warmup. JAVELIN: Do you have friends in BF4? I guess I do agree with you but in a less harsh way. EDIT:My personal choices: SMAW,IGLA (I use them all, but these are my personal favorites)

what the hell

martin yuen ?

MBT LAW: Here's your standard issue rocket launcher. Fell free to oneshot infantry point blank, but don't even try to use it against vehicles. SMAW: Well, I'm just preparing to use the RPG. Also great for learning how to take down the air vehicles. RPG-7: Dumb, but super effective! Don't forget about the drop. Stinger: I'm lazy. Igla: I'm not that lazy. Javelin: Hey, you have SOFLAM unlocked, right? SRAW: *fire* crap *fire* shit *fire* hold still! *fire* YEAH GOTCHA (mostly this happens with choppers). HVM-2: I'm really really tired of that chopper. AT-4: It's like an uber-RPG but you have to throw it away after the first shot :( And every launcher has +10 chance for enemy to write "rpg on inf nub" in chat, should you score that kill :3

My opinion: SMAW:

U can ban the People who use them

You could probably use the plugin they use for kinfe only servers, and set the kick/ban thing to kills with the stinger/igla Not 100% sure about that tho

You realize that's not going to happen right?

I hope DICE removes all the bad whiny pilots that hate balance happening to them.

Lars Tuinsma and I hope Natural Selection removes the spineless scrubs who cry when dominated by skilled pilots because they're too dumb and inept to develop counter-skills. Dont worry, Im sure if you cry loud enough you will get 'lock-on' bullets in BF5....

+VCO SolidGibson lol so butthurt over a videogame

Indeed, It's just a game bro....

For some dumb reason, cod has more dumb fire than lock on weapons. There aren't even any land vehicles.

Actually cod does have air lock ons it's the igla

CoD has had lock on weapons for a very long time. The only CoD that doesn't have lock on rockets is Ghosts and that's because of the theme they have and that there's only 1 air vehicle I think.
