errr...
as a Sparrow myself,
getting a lock on is not as easy as you make it sound...
on most cont's then the ceiling is way too high for a lock-on, cos by the time the bird is two thirds of the way to the ceiling, you can't see the damn thing, so locking on is bloody hard...
i say this as a gal pilot as well, and the biggest problem that i have at altitude is a reaver or mos on my tail, which in a gal is nearly impossible to shake(i am that ten percent that can shake a tail one time out of ten...), but get near to a base, and there's aa maxes and the bloody base turrets...
The NC Sparrow is not the be all and end all of anti-aircraft artillery, it may pack more of a punch than the other empires, but if you're flying a fat slow bird, then it's not just the other aircraft that are a problem....
