Things i learned using soflam

This isn't an exhaustive list, just a few things i noticed

1. Give your teamates time to notice what you are doing and change loadout. Dont give up after 30s if no one is shooting your target. Give it a few min at least. People WILL start helping.

2. Either soflam or dont, if you half * it it will just irritate teammates

3. Just because you designate a target doesnt mean your shooters are in range. Keep painting the target and give your shooters time (added fun is it freaks out the pilot/driver and makes them use countermeasures sometimes) to get in range (or the target to come to them)

4. If you are against a really good pilot it may take some time for your shooters to kill him, stick with it

5. Soflam is the easiest way to kill condors that keep flying off after one hit because you can have multiple shooters with a more powerful warhead.

6. Dont sit right next to shooter when designating targets, a good pilot will see the smoke trail and kill you both if he flares the first rocket

7. Make helos/condors your priority, most ground targets wont have a line of sight for many of your shooters

@haho1 This is the best!

Just tell your squad mates you’re using soflam and they’ll equip themselves accordingly. Hold on, there’s no VOIP.

If your squad mates aren’t supporting your soflam just use in game chat and announce to your entire team that you want to squad up with people who will. Hold on you cant change squads.

Once you’ve found a good squad that work together you can enjoy a few rounds together and maybe start a good friendship. Hold on, after a match you get thrown back into random matchmaking.

Once you and your friends are a force to be reckoned with and know what maps work especially well, team up and use the server browser to select your chosen map, size of player count, max ping and server location. Hold on, this is BF2042. Soz.

@Sc0tch_Whiskey It gives you spot points, but the HUGE oversight is that you get nothing by way of kill-assist (which is stupid) on vehicle kills.

@Psubond Good stuff. Also announce, “I’LL BE SOFLAMMING TARGETS. GET THOSE ROCKETS READY, PEOPLE!”

You’d be surprised how many rockets will be flying afterwards.
