SOFLAM Useful?
I been trying to use SOFLAM more since I haven't in the past and I am confused. Can my entire team see the lock or just my squad? It often seems I can have an enemy vehicle locked for a Looooooon...

It often seems I can have an enemy vehicle locked for a Looooooong time but no shots are being taken at it. There were plenty of soldiers in the general vicinity.
Maybe I am assuming they have rockets but they do not, or the helicopters or plane just didn't notice. It just seems odd since anytime I get in a vehicle there's at least 5 rockets heading my way (I am embellishing somewhat)
SOFLAM actually seems to work best simply to spot infantry.
soflam on vehicles is great. your whole team can see the lock. the trick is when you start doing it you have to give your team time to notice it so they can change to a rocket launcher. don't just quit after a min. if you are going to run soflam keep locking up vehicles and the team will catch on and start launching rockets at them. also keep in mind that teamates may not have a good line of sight to the vehicle or could be out of range. if you plan on soflaming whole game, perhaps mention it in chat to give teammates a heads up that you will be doing it
