Do the attack helicopter’s heat-seeking missiles lock on to ground targets

battlefield-3

I have had success using the attack helicopter's heat-seeking missiles to take down jets and other helicopters, but I haven't been able to lock on to ground vehicles with them yet. Have I been doing it wrong or is it not possible?

If they don't lock on to ground targets, then do the pilots ever get any missiles or upgrades that allow them to hit ground targets more easily?

Best Answer

No they do not.

Heat seeking missiles are air-air missiles.

Laser Guided Missiles are air-ground missiles.

There is also an upgrade that makes your regular rocket pods (attack helicopter) track targets a bit, making them more accurate from range.
