Topic: No Missile Lockon?
Just a thing I was thinking about...
I loved the old style of dogfighting in bf1942 and all other WW2 games in that they had no missile lockons! In my opinion its a much larger thrill to mg someone than to just shoot two rockets when u hear a beep. Not only that but hearing beeps all the time and releasing flares, using overboost, and performing a lame shakeoff manouver that barley needs much skill is not as interesting in my opinion as avoiding the mg of your opponent. I mean the missile thing takes skill too to make it a good shot and the timing but I just dont like how u can shoot the missiles, turn away, and the enemy dies without you even seeing the kill. I think having to stay on that enemy's tail for the duration to shoot out the engines is much more thrilling. After all if you look at BF2 most of the players flying dont even use mg they just shoot missiles - something that ruined dogfighting for me.
Anyways as that was dragging on and I was going in circles let me get to my point. I think it would be interesting to have no lockon for at least some spaceships and instead have the missles just go straight like they did in GC. Mabey make it so that the fighter ships that might have lockon with missles (for example lets say an x-wing) can only shoot one at a time in long intervals. In addition the missles they do shoot would not be able to take an enemy out in one shot. Not only would that increase the use of mg but it might level the playing feild for rival fighters that dont have any missles (like a tie for example). This would also prevent people from going missile only like in BF2. I mean if people did that and there were no green/red lasers everywhere then this mod would be a faliure in my opinion (at least in the dogfighting aspect).
Oh and one last thing... mabey no ground lockon anti-air missiles except in places where spawnraping is possible (like main bases). Just keep to old style laser turrets for antiair lol!
Ok so that was just an idea I wanted to throw out there; mabey some of you think the same!
PS. Guess who's back, back again, the Proton's back, tell a friend.... Anyways i think I will get BF2142 just for this mod so you guys better make it quality (I know you will ).
