I know this can be done with events. And i know we have a homing missile. So i have always wondered.

Why dont we have a mobile SAM launcher?

It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just something that works effectively against aircraft. The reason i am suggesting this is because i have noticed that the fighter jet vehicles are pretty damn hard to knock out for the guys on the ground. And i thought adding this would even things out.

Just thought i would throw this out there.

If we don't have anything fast enough to take down the fighter jets then what makes you think we will have a homing missile fast enough to take down a fighter jet?

I would like this a lot.

Maybe we can modify the missile speed?

To a point where it can be over powered?

isn't the point that it's too slow?

Yes but he wants it to be fast enough to take down fighter jets.

If you have good accuracy.

It's a bot, of course it will.

I was actually thinking of it being a drivable vehicle. We can also make the loading speed for the missiles somewhat long so that if the missiles are fast, The pilot of the jet has a chance to take it out before he is knocked out of the sky.

How about a movable turret but you are unable to shoot down to prevent over powered attacks to people on the ground.

Yea, and it would be mounted on a vehicle, so people could drive for you.

Then some idiot could purposely make the vehicle at a 90 degree angle and that will mean instant death for anyone on the bottom.

How about its velocity is variant;
If it's following a player, it's slower
If it's following a vehicle (or if specifity is even more important, jets)
it's faster? Or is the speed you're describing still overpowered vs jets?

When the missile is launched towards the jet, It does not have to be insanely fast to the point that is over powered. It can be a reasonable speed to the point where if the pilot realizes he is being chased by a missile he can out maneuver it. If a jet was coming straight towards the launcher, the jet would not stand a chance unless he launches his missiles first, But this is all up to the pilots judgement.
