I shot 16 Rapier missiles at 5,000 mts. to 4 Hinds ... 0 Hinds destroyed
Second try, 12 Rapier missiles at 4.000 mts.... 0 Hinds destroyed
Many more examples I could offer, but if that is not considered a problem then I guess that will not be solved ... a shame
Excuse the off topic

Thanks anyway

And excuse my english

But in action, eg in The Falklands, they still didn't hit much.

Yes, I've heard that they had around few percent success rate.I don't think they could achieve much against helicopters flying few meters above the ground.

Worthless.

Unfortunately, again, the Falklands showed the exact same thing. Worthless.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		ETF, what update are you looking for? 2.0.10b is the latest official, 2.0.11.6 beta is out there and we just sent the full 2.0.11 update to Matrix for installer build this week and it should be out in a week or so. That update will bring the game up to date.
