Stingers not engaging (Back to the wall - limited SPOILERS)


Euri

Recommended Posts

I am playing the US campaign and I am at "Back to the Wall". I have deployed my stinger teams to execellent positions but they never fire a single missile even though the enemy helos make a lot of passes. Any explanations?

 

Early on in the release, I, too, had difficulty with my Stingers. Then, the next turn, all 3 of my teams launched.

 

I'm not saying there isn't an issue...but there may be something else going on. Facing or status complicates it.

AA assets in general sometimes fail to fire, and I think this has something to do with how the game simulates ingress routes and the terrain between the teams and the attacking aircraft. It could also be a bug. I mean, I've seen 3 Stinger teams fire simultaneously at a single target, and I've also seen them fail to fire. When I played "Backs to the Wall", they did actually fire, but didn't down anything.

yeah stingers are very much a hail mary thing.  I have watched them not fire as they were standing 100 meters away from their truck which was being taken out by a Hind as they were facing the direction of the incoming missile.  I could almost hear the losers - "hey cool man check that out."
