1) Lis is probably the top pick for engineers. She gets no benefit from SOFLAM.
2) Gadget ammo is quite limited in 2042. No reliable resupply stations, unlike BFV. Only 3-4 rockets, unlike BF4 where you could get ~7.
3) Flares are really really good in 2042 and will break SOFLAM locks. Players are reluctant to expend their limited ammo only to see it get eaten by a flare.
4) Range/Line of sight limits the number of people that can take the shot.
5) SOFLAM designations are only visible when players have a compatible launcher equiped. Most people are running with the primaries and are unaware of the designations.
5) I believe there was a recent bug (unsure if fixed) that prevented others from seeing SOFLAM designations even when they had compatible launches equipped.
DICE has made SOFLAM'ing (and darting) impractical for casual coordination among randoms. Unless you have a squadmate on the same page you are wasting your time with those gadgets.
Even in the scenario where you have a coordinated duo I'd argue that (2 ) Ewelina's spamming G-84's would be more effective. SOFLAM and darts could use some love.
@AngrySquid270 I dont see DICE rebalancing the silly flares system either, as long as flares exist like they do know, there is no point in using soflam or dart unless the heli is real close. And good pilots never come real close.
