Heavy barrel for mid to long range suppressor for short range

M4: Increased vertical recoil, reduced horizontal recoil. The Burst only M4 should now feel different to its automatic sibling, the reduced horizontal recoil emphasizes the greater control you have in burst fire.

-AA Missiles are more difficult to dodge in Jets, this was unintended behavior that created an imbalance against skilled pilots.

-AA Missiles should no longer kill the pilot instead of the vehicle.
-Reduced the damage AA missiles do to jets to 45%.
-The IGLA and Stinger now lock on much more quickly and disable an attack aircraft in 1 hit, but have significantly reduced range. This should allow Stingers to mount an effective close range point defense, without dominating an entire airspace.
-Guided Rockets will now only track ground targets, as originally intended.
-Slightly reduced the damage of Jet cannons against Aircraft. Damage is now only slightly higher than it was originally at launch.

-Flares for Jets and Choppers now reload at 11 seconds again, except for the gunner, which remains unchanged at 20sec.
-Below Radar will now also prevent the lock on of Stinger and IGLA missiles.
-Flares now more reliably distract missiles, especially for Helicopters.
-Laser Guided missiles can now be distracted by Flares.

-Increased the speed of the Helicopter AA missiles lock on to reduce the tedious nature of Helicopter dogfights and improve the Helicopter's defensive abilities vs Jets.
-Flares will no longer break the lock of a vehicle that is locked on, it will only distract the missiles.
-Increased the locking distance for AGM Missiles for Jets when locking on laser designated targets.
-Reduced the locking time for the AGM Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against ground targets.
-Reduced the locking time for AA Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against air targets.
-Fixed the SU-35 firing Air to Air missiles at a lower rate of fire than other vehicles.
-Adjusted the F35's Center of Mass and Hover Engine for more stable, level flight in all flight modes.
-Updated the F35 weapon systems to be consistent with the other Jets.
-The F35 will now only attempt to enter Hover at low altitudes, though it will maintain the hover until forward flight is resumed, even if it reaches high altitude.
-The F35 and SU35 now properly have Ejection seats to prevent players from being killed when exiting the vehicle.
-The MAV will no longer destroy vehicles that run into it, instead it should be destroyed.
-Jet and Helicopter collisions should now properly result in the death of both vehicles.
-Players will no longer receive suicides or team kills if they crash their vehicle (dying is punishment enough).
-Fixed several bugs with air vehicles colliding with objects at high speeds and taking no damage.

w/e

to be fair, I was upsetting people by dodging their stingers over and over continuously without flares and then telling them they just spent millions of e-dollars that could have been used for e-textbooks by trying to shoot me down so I guess that nerf is ok ^>^ The buffs are really good, ESPECIALLY that jet cannon nerf. stupid how 90% of my deaths were from disables because people shooting at me as we flew by each other

As a guy who mainly flys around in Vipers and the Russian equivalent, I love those changes.

a quote from zh1nt0s news post:


That sounds like a nice buff to me. The M4 and M16A4 will be the guns with the least Hrecoil and fastest reload time. I already use the M4A1 exclusively when i play engineer, after the patch it wil be the M4 for shure.
Also, although it hurts my heart, the M16A4 could possibly replace the AN94 as my main assault weapon once i reach service star 100 with it (3410 kills to go).

Oh that is fucking stupid. It wasn't that high to begin with and it requires way more skill to strafe something with that than it does to lock a missle. Bleh.
