FIM-92 Stinger

The FIM-92 Stinger is a man-portable infrared homing anti-aircraft missile system produced by Raytheon Missile Systems for the United States Armed Forces. It has a range of 4,800 meters (15,700 ft) and can hit aircraft at altitudes up to 3,800 m (12,500 ft). It has been in service since 1981 and is used by 30 countries including the United states.

It has been featured as a stationary anti-air emplacement in Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and Battlefield Play4Free.

Battlefield 2
The Stinger is featured in Battlefield 2 as a stationary anti-aircraft site with two missiles that lock on and track enemy aircraft. It is used by two factions, the United States Marine Corps and the European Union. It is capable of firing two missiles at a time, with an unlimited amount of reloads. Although the missiles can quickly take down an enemy aircraft, they are extremely weak against armor; around 12 missiles are needed to destroy a tank. It performs on par with the IGLA, and any differences between the two are purely cosmetic.

Battlefield Play4Free
In Battlefield Play4Free, the Stinger is featured on Oman. It performs identically to the Russian IGLA. It can shoot two missiles before reloading and is incredibly effective against enemy aircraft and helicopters after locking on to their infrared signature. If an enemy deploys flares, the missiles will try to follow after them and will miss their original target.

The Stinger can even, to an extent, be used against ground targets such as tanks and infantry. However, it is very inaccurate unless locked on to aircraft and it is likely the user will miss their target as the missile starts to curve upward over time after fired.

Battlefield 3
The FIM-92 Stinger is a confirmed weapon in Battlefield 3, being seen in the Caspian Border gameplay advertisement. It is man-portable and can be fired from passenger seats of vehicles.
