Bad idea IMO - should not be introduced without a multitude of other tweaks, Counter Measures, Hot Drop Prevention.. etc etc.

I believe that it's an excellent idea. Air units need to fear something in the air. This will need some teaks no doubt. But it is long overdue. I'll cert it just to hunt those freakin reavorwhores!

Lock on must be attained and maintained for the missiles to track the target!
That sounds difficult but I still think it will just be the next Air Whore vehicle.

Well, we finally see what the dev team is doing about their promises since I read somewhere they intended to make the Mossie the primary means to hunt other planes...

It depends on what weapon it has. Is it purely the AA missiles, or does it have the nosegun as well? Also, does it need a lock to fire?

If it just has missiles, and it needs a lock to fire, there should be very few problems with it.
However, it may cause a drop in Gals and libs, as they get eaten alive by them.

That the Mossie even HAS a weapon is stupid.

I agree. When I talked to the developers at Fan-Faire, an ECM suite or chaff pod was a massively popular suggestion, and not just because of the Air-to-Air Mosquito.

Well maybe that do plan on some type of counter measure i.e. chaff or flares, but want to see what the game is going to play like with out them so they can then use that knowledge to design the counter measure to fit the problem.

I'm just playing devil's advocate, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Firstly: Don't knock anything before you try it.

The skeet was meant to be more agile then the reaver and be able to destroy it in an air fight. That definately isn't how it is in-game.

So far they haven't mentioned even having a chaingun on it, just the AA rocket. The rocket, as listed so far, is basically like a striker. You have to maintain a lock. The reload time is 2.5 seconds. Same as a cycler. So fire two rockets and keep the lock in air. If you've ever been in an intense dogfight, thats hard to do.

Tried it and I hate it. Basically any air that fights against it that isn't a wasp will die. You can avoid the missles some of the time by normal dogfighting skills, but if you try and run you are toast.

Its the fury of the skies.

Giving it the same 12mm turbo-infantry-farming gun as the mosquito has in addition to its turb-aircraft-annihilating-rockets was hilariously stupid of them. Awesome, something to farm aircraft and infantry with. It's stuff like that that just makes me shake my head. These people have no fucking idea what they're doing.
