SOFLAM lock on possible issue.

Not sure if this is a bug or not as not many people have the SOFLAM unlocked at the moment and I might just be really really lucky that the other team just wasn't using flairs.

But I got into a game where for the first time someone on my team had the SOFLAM, and so I was using the M5 to lock onto helis. Usually when I use FXM-33 the pilots immeidately drop flairs, like 80% of the time. But I literally downed 4 helis with the M5 locked on and never saw them deploy flairs once for it but did see them deploy flairs for other things once the player with SOFLAM either switched out gadgets or quit.

It makes me think that for some reason the pilot isn't being told that the M5 is locked onto them when the SOFLAM is painting them. I didn't want to make a bug report because as I said, I might have just be extremely lucky with my lock ons, but it's extremely unusual.

    This could be why the past day I haven't gotten any locking on message just suddenly INCOMING MISSILE and impact

    Normally there's a LOCKING ON followed by a red LOCKED ON and finally INCOMING MISSILE

    @MTLMortis Yeah it makes me think there's a bug specifically with the SOFLAM, especially when you're getting it only recently when people are around about the level where they would be unlocking it.
