Rubentronics Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 hi everybody, ok, I'm flying as co-pilot in a Tie bomber, I launch the missile and... wowwww.... how the hell can I hit another ship???!!!! I can hit turrets and anything that stays (more or less) quiet, but hitting X wings it's impossible!!!! Is there anything that I don't know or I haven't read in the manual? Thaaanks, R.

010_sWitch_010 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah those remote missiles are hard to drive. Try hitting y-wing's, there heaps easy to trail behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubentronics Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 oh... I have to say that I was hoping anything like... "you forgot to press the XXX key to make it burst!!!" or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerted Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 You can make the missile boost... I think the missiles are more for attacking the main ship (though they don't do a whole lot of damage) I've been able to destroy a few fighters with the missile (about 4 AI ships), but its not worth the trouble. It took me an entire single player map to do it (my team lost). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubentronics Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 that's it: very difficult to hit a little target, too weak to hurt a huge one... so... what's the use? I've been thinking all the day about it. In BF1 I thought the same way about wookies and darkTroopers, 'til I found the right playstyle for them. That's why I think maybe there's something good about the missiles that I can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel_Trooper Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Maybe they are supposed to be used on the Transports? They are pretty big and slow so it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubentronics Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 yes, maybe. At least, it's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to hit them as a practice. Too hard, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Use the force, and close your eyes when using them... or NOT. Just use regular bombers adn bomb along... its easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I think maybe there's something good about the missiles that I can't see. Thats why I haven't stopped using them in single player. When the missile gets close to an AI ship, the ship always does some type of trick. The missiles aren't that mobile and can't follow. The missile doesn't cause a lock on warning (that I know of) so it be be easier to hit human players. There is a button (reload?) which makes the missile blow up, but I'm not sure about its splash damage. [EDIT: I spent some more time praticing with it this morning. I've discovered its excellent against ship turrets. They are a little hard to hit (small target) but they don't move.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubentronics Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 this morning I gave a couple of hits to a rebel assault gunship... I think it would be more useful to get out of my own ship and spit in their faces... So, 'til now, those missiles are only useful against turrets...
