Guided Shells/ SOFLAMS on vehicles

There is death from above with helicopters having air to ground missiles which is fine although it should be the gunners shooting it instead of the driver just to give the gunner something to do, but anyways. The tank needs guided shells to lock into other vehicle targets just like prior battlefields. It seems that a newer battlefield would have this already but it's reversed.

Also, there isn't enough paint designators on the battlefield. Everyone relies on the infantry to do all the target designation against vehicles but the vehicles can't. There should be vehicle vs vehicle target paint designation.

    There are not enough rockets.   Nobody is playing engineers.  You might get 2 on the map in a game.   Select your tab key and look for the wrench next to names.  You might see two.

    I just played a game with Zero engineers.    War Thunder with infantry farming

    Correct, but if you add the soflam to the vehicle air and ground then you could have more designation instead of waiting for an engineer with a rocket or a sniper to designate.. Also guided shells on a tank or other vehicles should be available for that vehicle on vehicle warfare.

    This is probably because the engineer class is composed of:

    1 guy that almost nobody wants to play after they overnerfed him

    1 guy that is underwhelming unless it is about camping corridors or repairing Hinds and Condors 

    1 lady that cannot use M5, stinger and Javelin because of the specialist gadget.

    +1 for the laser designator for the 4th seat in tanks. After the return of the old Q spotting, this seat is only good for providing an extra eye for the tank crew.

    Under secondary weapon on the tank add the guided shell, therefore if the tank wants to sacrifice using their heavy machonegun or lighmachinegun to kill infantry vs another vehicle then it's a risk. Also the 3rd seat should have the SOFLAM to assist the driver.

    Everything needs to be team based instead of the vehicle driver doing everything therefore requires communication and skill
