Sometimes when people shoot at the AC-130, it gets destroyed by two people. But when I take out 2 flares, and my teammate kills it, he's the only one who gets points.

How do you both get points?

Well....When one person activates a flare its sort of like an assist so if 1 player shoots stinger and makes the ac130 deploy 1 flare and 1 shoots the other 2 one gets the kill but the other gets the assist...if you get what i mean?

Edit: As a compensation for shooting 2 flares and your team mate shooting one and killing it you get exp sort of like an assist.

I've done this with harriers and such. We both get points randomly... It should always count as points if you deflect flares with your missile and your teammate takes it out. I always get pissed when i use my stingers on an AC130 and die one or two times and my teammate takes it out and gets the points...

offtopic a bit: WTF is with the stingers? it took a teammate and i a total of 5 stingers to take a harrier down...

I've noticed this a lot lately too. Seems like this happens if the harrier is a decent distance away. It's total BS if you ask me.

pantstofry

I agree. But the thing was, we were both pretty much right below it...

Idk it has never taken me more than 3 on a harrier.

I've had that happen to me so many times. It's like, wtf, I'm standing right below you, you have no flares, why the hell am I missing?

They added deviation to the stingers, which is okay i guess, but missing 4 stingers against a harrier? wtf... it should only take 1, and it should miss like once in a blue moon...

HBK

Yeah it took me 4 consecutive stingers (<3 Scav) to take down one Harrier in Favela, and the 4th missed but came back like a Javelin and hit it from above(was quite a kewel too ^_^) but I was directly below it, but if I get in about a 45 degree angle below it, the first Stinger will always destroy it, deviation fails.

I missed 3 on a harrier once. That was a /ragequit moment. The 1st might have been too early and the 2nd rushed (press fire before it was fully locked), 3rd I took my time and it just missed. Frustrating game so many times.

Every time my stingers miss harriers, it's generally because the harrier turns intangible somehow.

Yes, the game will break the laws of physics to thwart me.

Hmm I have only missed a Harrier twice like ever. Although I'm fairly certain I've taken an AC130 down in one shot and I was the only person to shoot at it

Call Me Vanilla

I have seen 2 people get exp for shooting down the same thing, its just a glitch like both people hitting it at the same time, theres no assist experience for taking down air support. The thing with taking out ac-130 is if 2 people shoot rockets almost right after eachother the second one will kill the ac-130 before it has a chance to deploy its second set of flares, like a 1-3 second down time between flares being deployed.

Also with the stingers missing harriers it happens to me alot i dont really know why, locking on ftl? lol javelins dont seem to have that problem though who knows, if its intended or just bad programing.

Yesterday upon the stair i met a man who wasn't there, i met that man again today i wish that man would go away.

Old Dirty Cracker

I don't like being penalized for making a sacrifice and taking the stinger. I hate letting aces romp all over my team, even if it's strangers, but in the long run it gets you killed more and costs opportunities for longer-term rewards.
I guess they wanna let people have their toys for a few seconds but I don't see many matches where it's the streaker that has a problem.

Alphabuster187

Whose missile makes final contact, that's the person that gets the points.

OT: If I share my Emergency Care Package with my team, I think I should get some points off of every kill they make with such KS reward. So if you are playing Domination and you shared you Sentry Gun, +50 for them, maybe +10 for you each kill.

We are talking about infinity ward doing something logical....Right?

When a harrier steadies itself after coming in. One stinger will take it out.
If you shoot to soon, it may be rotating slightly to the right or left. If you shoot at this point it will miss. If you wait to long the Harrier will again rotate slightly and you will miss. If the Harrier is still or moving a lot I never miss. If it is moving slightly though the stinger will miss. I have got so good at spotting the harriers "stance" I can tell if someone is going to miss or not as soon as they fire. Highrise and skidrow seem to be the worst maps for this.

Magnatross

I try to shoot the Harrier before it comes to a full stop, and piss off the guy that calls it in, but now it's a 100% chance to miss when I try it
You can't shoot down a damn thing in skid row

I posted about this ages ago and everyone acted as if it was normal.

That's because the stinger guidance isn't fast enough to react on it's movements. If you want a clear hit make sure of 2 things: 1, no building can get in the way and 2, aim for the center of the Harrier.

NB: This is a theory of mine, although ever since I started it, not once have I missed my shot
