@ATFGunr I think because its a one shot kill there should be a higher level of warning when SOFLAM locked vs regular AA lock. Thats fair to me. I really dont think there should be a lock on one shot kill for helis but if it has to be that way, give the pilots the info that it may be coming.

@SpudBug At least it’s only the Nightbird that’s one hit. Apache & Hokum are two, and the Hind takes three, maybe four. I still get eaten by Nightbirds regularly lol.

      Wrong, the bf4 soflam  did not need anyone looking through it to be effective.     

      You made another topic about this, this is #3 now?

        @fragnstein Youre right, the SOFLAM in bf4 was a completely different gadget that needed to be set in place and only pointed in one direction.

        The soflam in 2042 is more like a super powerful PLD that allows you to use it anytime while also locking targets without maintaining line of sight or exposing yourself by using the gadget.

        So I agree with you, the 2042 soflam is way overpowered!
