Make SOFLAM work on stealth Helis even if in stealth mode!

An infantry soldier HAS to have a viable countermeasure against any vehicle and the fact that those damn stealth Helis are untouchable without you having a chance to react is just poor game design. At least make SOFLAMs lock on them even in stealth mode. This would also make the SOFLAM a much more usable tool.

And don't argue I could simply shoot the recoilless at them. Hitting those small Helis with a good pilot in them is next to impossible and they don't even die to just one shot.

EDIT:

I wrote this in anger after playing defense in breakthrough. After a few days I have this to add:

I stand by what I said. The stealth helis are broken. I learned that Rao is able to hack them and make their stealth mode break.

But after testing it myself I can tell you that it doesn't do sh*t. A good pilot will simply pop the flares and hide somewhere to recharge and return in order to kill your a*s before you can do anything.

So, what to do? Making SOFLAM work on the stealth heli in stealth mode is still my suggestion, but I think a nerf of the 30mm canon and the bombs should be added.

Everyone in this thread who claims that the helis don't need a massive nerf is afraid their good K/D will suffer because they won't be able to completely abuse it anymore.

This has to end. Defense on breakthrough is unplayable with a good enemy pilot.

    Nerf the only operator able to do something against the stealth helis? Are you insane?

    If the stealth heli player is good he will use his flares to counter the hack, disappear behind some cover and come back to kill the Rao.

    Today I played Rao in breakthrough defense and the enemy heli pilot ripped us a new one because he did what I just explained.

    Before I left out of frustration he was 33 to 0 and I died like 6 times to him, even though I hacked him at every opportunity.

    Rao is in a good spot balance-wise, but the helis are just insane OP.

    Nerf the bombs, nerf the 30mm and make the SOFLAM work. Boom, problem solved...

    A few hits takes the stealth chopper out of stealth mode.

    Unless its way up in the air , you can use any transport with a sufficiënt weapon.

    Granted you barely get anything as a defender now in breaktrhough i can see it being  a pain to do that though.

    Breakthrough as a defenders is barely worth it now....
