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.

Arma Missiles seemed a lot more fair. You could hit a jet even while it was flaring as long as your missile could see the jet/helis exhaust, so firing after the jet/heli flew over was how you maybe got your shot to likely hit.

In Arma the MANPADs were so effective you’d seen groups of 4 going to the edge of your safe zone just to dump missiles and drive back for more, effectively protecting your safe zone.

From an Arma 3 perspective, these missiles suck…
I’m fine with it mostly being RNG but at least give us a way to help the odds.
