I've discovered the Stinger is much improved with the patch. It was totally useless before. You'd hit the chopper a bunch of times and nothing would happen. I was annoyed that the choppers seemed nearly invincible after the patch, but the stinger upgrade takes care of that.
It locks on it about 1 second and will disable a chopper in one shot, or destroy it if it's already damaged. Because of the fast lock on I just lock on, fire, and if they deploy flares, lock-on and fire again. It's basically impossible for them to get away from the second shot unless they get really lucky and it hits a building or something.
The only weakness it has now is its limited range. But it's to the point where if I'm driving in a tank with someone in the CITV seat, I don't even bother using the guided shell. I just hop out and fire the stinger at the chopper instead. Way more effective.
