Re: The Problems with Laser-Designating

There are several reasons why the team is not interested in shooting at the laser mark.
1. In tanks, no one puts STAF missiles in the main slot, since this is obviously a loss in any battle. If they made it possible to put STAF missiles instead of a machine gun slot, then perhaps this solved the problem of the appropriateness of using STAF
2. Missiles fired at a laser tag travel along the ground and crash into any obstacle on the way. Unlike BF4, where rockets rose into the sky and hit the target from above.

The only JAVELIN and aircraft with AGM missiles work correctly on SOFLAM.

Additionally the range around the tanks crosshair where you can get a lock should be increased/improved (again like BF4).
And I agree, for slow immobile things like a tank the shot should go up and hit from above.
While other rockets should be further expended in their variety of behaviours regarding direct hit/from above, speed, maneuverability, (splash) damage, ability to disable, etc.
