Why the **** do missiles have a tighter turning radius than a jet at full turn?
That means the only defense for missiles is flares, which makes missiles HORRIBLY over powered. Since all you have is flares, you have to drop them sometime between full missile lock and death. Now since you don't know when the missiles are fired at you, it's a gamble as to when to drop them. A gamble with odds so great and vast the chances of you actually guessing correctly are about as likely as me winning the lotto with 1,2,3,4,5.
Seriously, how are you supposed to avoid missiles for the four and a half minutes in between flare drops? I've just started flying back over my air base and parachuting out; because that's about the only way I can 'win'. If you fire a missile at a jet that as at full turn then the missile should MISS.
I don't care about reality, because about the only thing realistic about this game is that the cars have four wheels and guns kill people. And don't bring up some shit about learning to fly better, because I kill people in dog fights all the time while they're trying to avoid me, it's impossible to lose the other jet unless you're some kind of special ed student. Even if the jet leaves your sights, you can still follow his little white trail. The missiles are far too easy to you, and provide no satisfaction for a kill, and nothing but aggravation for the killed.
…and yes I did just get shot down in my jet...and why the **** don't you have different sounds for when a plane locks onto you and when a linebacker locks onto you. There are totally different types of maneuvers you make for each situation, yet both cases provide you with the same sound.
