This morning I was playing a solo game at the refinery. I was transitioning some T62s across the face of a 5 man FAGOT team. I was at the outer limit of their range bc they hadn't fired on me before I moved. Their first two shots, 2 kills; 3rd shot misses, 4th hits, 5th misses. 6th and 7th kills. 7 shots, 5 kills. I was less suprised at the fatality rate than I was at the fact that they hit 5 of 7. After that, I just brushed my teeth and went to work early.

Seriously? I got comp stomped by the comp.

For some reason my Rolands also seem to shoot at enemy logistics trucks.
Nothing else, just logistics trucks. It's happened several times now for me.

rockets will be used against low level hovering shoppers in my experiance, well i could swear my LAW's have hit several gunships on low alt

Yes.

MBTs are even given proximity fused shells for engaging helicopters.

I think there might be some kind of weird thing with hit detection. I had a roland firing at a hovering recon heli. The heli was flying over a a little copice that i knew there were some units hidden in. The rockets from the roland where detonating over the wood in front of the heli and +15 kept popping up over the wood but the heli didnt take any damage (it did shoot it down in the end). So although I forgot to look for wrecks because i got distracted im fairly sure the rockets from the roland must have been hitting bmp's or whatever was in the wood, although i have no idea how.

The 9A4172 Vikhr (AT-16) missile (part of the 9K121 complex) was specifically designed to be able to engage air targets, including a specially designed warhead that has fragmentation wrapped around it so that it can use proximity detonation and still score a kill. Most ATGMs are impact-only fused, and wouldn't likely cause a kill even if they were proximity fused.

And Iranian Cobra's downed Hind's in the Iran/Iraq war using TOW missiles on I believe two occasions. A Hind even shot down an F4 Phantom by unloading all its rockets at the oncoming fighter ATGM's are totally capable of destroying aircraft if the circumstances are right.

I had never seen this (but had read about it) before this last patch. It's now happened to me two of the last three games I've played NATO. Don't think I minded as the four Roland's took out three APC's and the chopper in fairly short order. A smart PACT player could exploit that to protect gunships I guess.

After getting my butt handed to me by FAGOTs, I have started using them myself. I am trying to set them up in ambush positions (treelines less so, forested areas more) along paths of movement. I try to put an Anti Air Infantry with them.

This bug is well known by now I think, but not from the last patch I've seen a Chapparel take out one of my (damaged) T-80U's when firing at air before the recent patch. And I have seen land unit kills for my own AA units sometimes as well. freaky stuff
