@ragnarok013 the spotting situation is truly bizarre indeed!
We have so many ways to 3D spotting gadget wise but can't manually do as infantry!
As the above poster says, the SOFLAM shouldn't spot infantry for example.
@Trokey66 I recall being able to spot infantry with the soflam in BF3/4 via Q (but not automatically like with the MAV so it makes sense that we could unless the poster is speaking of locking onto infantry which would be a bizarre mechanic.
@ragnarok013Trying to remember if BF4's MAV was automatic or manual as well.
Either way though, too many things do it automatically in BF2042 but let an infantry player R1 (PS5) spot is a step to far?
In light of that though my comment about the SOFLAM was BF2042 specific. It's just a shame that you don't get vehicle assists when using it.

@Trokey66 assists in general are really lacking in 2042. If they added these "legacy features" back in I believe it would really help the game play experience. You can only incentivize team play you cannot mandate it like we saw with attrition in BF5 and incentivizing via XP, ribbons, medals, dog tags, etc (all lacking in 2042) is the way to go.

@Trokey66 I'm 99% sure it's a manual spot.

The SOFLAM auto-3D-spots everything. No Q required.
@filthy_vegansI'm sure SOFLAMs of old could lock on to equipment, it certainly could in BF3.

@filthy_vegans that's exactly why I'm a fan of the mortar - it's a counterbalance to snipers and if it's the BF3 style mortar you can be counter mortared by the other team which prevents spamming. We have a sniper infestation in 2042 due to the long map site lines, verticality, and no weapon restrictions.
