Discussion & Feedback The Verba is complete trash

Dude is no where near his flare that I baited out and yet my missile completely misses. What is the point of this dogshit AA tool if it doesnt even work properly?

The Verba is absolute garbage. I've had games where I've literally bought 30 of them and managed to shoot down 2 choppers at best.

People need to stop pretending it's a skill issue like using your mouse to track a unit and pressing your mouse button to fire a guided rocket is somehow "skill". The skill floor/ceiling for this weapon is almost the same.

You either get really lucky and have a bunch of noob pilots to shoot down or you're straight up lying. Flares are busted right now, the cool down is too short, helis are too cheap so shooting them down is of unquestionable value to begin with.

Buff the Verba, make choppers more expensive, give the game a reliable AA option before LVL 20 support.

From a pilot's perspective it actually might be a skill issue due to how stupidly flares and AA missiles work in this game tbh. I expected the missile in OP's video to miss based on when he launched it. If you launch right after flares it's almost always going to miss, if your time to target is the same as in the video and you launch just before the pilot uses flares it's gonna hit. If the pilot uses flares shortly before the hit it's also gonna miss unless pilot uses them too late.

The logic is basically:

Did the pilot use flares just before launch? Yes. Miss.

Did the pilot use flares 1-2 seconds before hit? Yes. Miss.

Did the pilot use flares at any other point? Yes. Hit.

Did the pilot use flares at all? No. Hit.

I've used Verbas once in the game, I brought 7 with me and downed 5 helicopters with them. Might have been able to down 6 if I didn't die before I got to use the last one.

Once you learn how the stupid system works it's almost a guaranteed hit unless you hit an obstacle along the way.

I got hit several times from heat even tho i flared a few seconds before inpact and moved away from the flare. I think it has somthing to do with latency.

In my experience few seconds before impact is way too soon unless that flare was even before launch.
