Ok devs i saw many video of apache but when they release hellfire , missile going first up to the sky and then hit on top of target , like javelin missile but in pr it going only straight

This and this both show the missile in level flight. However the one is ground launched.

alright thanks Asian, I was on break so I didn't take time to figure it out. However I will remember that.

As for the topic, I see no area where having them top attack would make much of a difference. In my experience it would be a bad idea especially when targets hide under buildings and what not.

ive also heard that apaches/cobras etc can swtich between top attack and direct attack with hellfires. top attack i know is good for hitting tanks as the weakest armor is usually on the top, and apparently its also good for hitting people on top of buildings or in between buildings because in urban enviroments you stand a greater chance of the missile hitting something between you and the target.

I wouldnt mind a top attack mode option in PR {if its even possible} i can think of a few times on muttrah ive fired a hellfire at an apc and ended up hitting a building instead if i had top attack it probably would have worked alot better.

This was one of those things that was said to be impossible in the BF2 engine I'm afraid.

On another note top attack missiles are in Combined Arms.
