Well after playing on the Chopper squad in Tac Mod yesterday I noticed that the TV missles were really dumbed down. I think its pretty unrealistic (an annoying) that you can score a direct hit on a tank, apc, and even helos without them exploding, or even getting extremely hurt. The pilot for that map (forget who it was) said it would be better if they made the damage the same as in vanilla, but made the missle move faster to make it more difficulta to aim and more realistic.
Any thoughts?

I'd like faster missiles as well, but only if there was a longer range and a way to increase the vehicle render range for the TV missile gunner. That way they could use it for long-range anti-vehicle support which is probably what it's used for in real life.

I've always wanted to see really fast missiles in the game.

I wish the anti-air missiles looked like this:

They pop out of the tube and then ignite and WEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee . So much cooler looking.

turns out missle range is measured in time, not distance... 3 seconds for example. So increasing velocity would automatically increase range

Undamaged armor or attack helos will be set on fire (and blow up if not quickly repaired) when hit by a TV missile. Does that qualify as "extremely hurt"? If they've taken almost any damage previously (or are hit by almost anything after (few cannon rounds)) then they will be destroyed immediately. The idea is to disable the vehicle, but allow the occupant(s) to get out and continue on foot. With the fairly long respawn time, we want to limit the amount that players are unexpectedly and instantly killed without the possibility of revive.

Then lower the amount of seconds.
I have also had this during Tacmod, a chopper vs chopper fight. I fired a TV missile at a chopper, it hit, but didnt destroy it. If you guys dont want a direct kill, then set the damage to get them burning.

You sure (although your probably right since you made the thing )? Because I definately remember hitting vehicles, more memorably last night a transport helo in the air, and it just started smoking, wasn't even that black smoke when you know its really damaged, just flew away and didn't blow

I do agree if it really does set them on fire though

Yes, I'm sure about armor and attack helos. It's different for transport helos, though. Transport helos are made of the same "material" as attack helos but have more hit points. I'd like to set transport helos on fire from a TVGM as well, but we can't do that without screwing with materials and/or hit points, which would cause some balance problems by either making transport helos too fragile or attack helos too robust. Regardless, a TVGM hit to a transport helo does plenty of damage that I'd sure be abandoning it ASAP because it's probably not going to last much longer.
