I have mixed feelings about the heatseeking. Sure I can fire them over
obstacles now like buildings and ridges to chase after the birds ( a
favorite trick of mine in bfv) but I liked a DC type missle that was
really fast that way my anti tank skills of zook lobbing and rpg lofting
were applicable, zip-bang-boom. I guess in the final analysis I will
adjust to heat seeking. I am looking forward to flying my AT missle
around corners and into fully loaded apc's and hovering helo's.....
