Anti aircraft vehicle, Why can they still be used as a solo driven/fired vehicle?

Im being an ass right now, but come on

My logic (real life logic ) :

1. Pilots DO NOT fly in AA territory, if they do they are either stuped or idiots
2. No sane Pilot in RL would fly in a AA territory, because the AA is Owerpowered of course
3. ( Bonus joke )Heli pilot should shit his pants if he flyes in AA territory

But i am anoyed how weak the AA is, yes i said its weak (because i can xD)

Anyway, hmm tough thing to say, solo vs 2man is a tough choice here but i think it should be like this

Light Mobile AA = Should be able to be soloed (and has 2 or multiple seats)
Heavy Mobile AA = Should be 2 maned (has also more than 2 seats if the vehicle allows it)

That would make sense, because the BRDM AA for example has only missles and cant missuse the weapon to shoot infantry, the Avenger on the other hand has a 50 cal and can abuse it to shoot infantry, but thats how you would use these weapons in real life anyway

But the Heavy Mobile AA should be 2 maned thats for sure, and it should counter any helicopter as well + i wished it had a longer lock range

Want to bet on that?

I Have used it just to do that very thing. With great success.

And increase the 400m difference between a laser lock and AA lock? Make it even more unbalanced?

i cant be sure about the balance but an AA lock being farther than a laser lock makes sense to me. An AA lock tends to be in this case a radar lock which means as long as there's nothing in the way it can reach quite a distance. A Laser lock however requires that the aircraft in question be within a certain range so that the laser has not dissipated by refraction in the atmosphere. remember that in order to mark a target the laser must reach the target then get back to you so assuming you are the spotter situated 200m from the target the laser has to travel 400m in order for you to lock. same rule applies for the aircraft and i assume clouds and dust would make this even harder. a cold dry tundra being the best conditions.

You know its really irritating when hueys just fly arround like wasps and bees and yet you never seem to be able to kill them, thats irritating, thats beacause i find it that the AA is really weak + the range is really not enough for me, pilots should fear the AA and not "Ima gona kill you first, cause the AA cant hit me for the shitz" =P

Well i ment it more like this -> Wasting BRDM AA missles on infantry is mostly just wasting if compared to the avenger where it has a 50 cal and it uses that to kill infantry

I mean you can just as crash a plane to kill someone, im just saying it would be a waste if you did that xD

+ Ive read that the Strela has 2 fiering modes for helicopters and airplanes, that would be awesome to implement
