New BF2 patch released

The PKM is a freaking sniper rifle now! I see it quickly becoming the new "noob tube" :D
 
Holy crap. This patch sucks for air. They nurfed it. Missiles are uber powerful now and you just can't shake them if you don't have flares. And even if you do have them its hit or miss. I was trailing an enemy F35 and fired a missle at it. He dropped flares and juked. I watched in sheer :eek: as my missile performed 5 90 degree turns (bouncing between his flares) then re-locked onto him and killed him in one hit. The same thing happened to me about 5 times. I even had a missle follow me clear across the map. This is nucking futs! I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and i hope they have a fix of some kind for this by the time i get back because air power is just useless now!

The AA are quite deadly to the average pilot. But play a few rounds on Wake and you will see the jet whores still thrive there. They're not finishing the game with a score of 60-0, more like 40-3. There's no mobile AA on Wake and the stationary AAs are easy targets for them to take out.

Usually I'm one of those 60-0 guys. The AA never gave me problems at all before. I ususually had total air supremacy from both jets and AA. But now i can't avoid the missiles at all. I'm by no means an average pilot. Maybe i just need to feel it out more. I only tried it for a few rounds.
 
thanks for the file host @400+K/s. Can't wait to play again once my comp is back up and running!
 
Went from one extreme to another. Now missles track impossibly to targets. I tested specifically firing near head-on and watched the missles do 180's back to target. They even seemed to "dance" on the target before blowing. I like being able to hit with the SAM's, but the AA is waaaaay unbalanced now. They're just leading us around like sheep waiting for the next patch. :p
