Being wire-guided, it would not need a lock on, hence the untimate ambush weapon. Say there is a Little-Bird sneaking around, dropping troops off to infiltrate your lines in a highly effective manner. I am that Little-Bird; I roll with a Laser Painter, ECM and ASM with a faithful engineer to repair me in flight. With a little application of skill, I become an unstoppable deterrent, gunning and blasting everything that twitches, while my team can take control points at a Sunday leisure. Massed stinger fire fails, Javelin and SOLFAM fails, it seems my invincible reign of trolling shall go unpunished until...WAM!!! my heli is shattered from beneath my smug posterior by a stealthy assailant. I was flying an unpredictable course admist a moderately fast overwatch cruise. It couldnt have been an RPG, impossible to hit me in the flight profile I was previously in. The culprit was a SRAW, with its wire guidence rendering it independent of laser guidence...anyway, the SRAW was awesome in BF2 and another missile launcher feels about right for order in BF3. Pegging tanks around corners anyone?
