Is there supposed to be a way to toggle fire mode on the javelin?It seems it can only fire direct mode, not top down.Also is it not possible to lock on to a ground target (nonvehicle) as in previous battlefields?

@Psubondflares stop lock, yes. Jav ( if using IRL ) is a Infrared Fire and Forget system. controller programs the warhead and guidance for Direct seek or top down sense and then tells the seeker in the warhead "hey look here"once that missile is loose, it can be stopped. now, if it was doing actual SACLOS guidance, you cant stop SACLOS unless you stop the spotting by LASER or you put a object between you and the missile.but this is BF, so, using IRL references is pointless.I havent had enough time to see how many it takes and the differences between spotted and self direct fire.

Assuming that the 'top down' does more damage (haven't been on yet!) then I disagree that fire modes should be toggleable (sp?).The 'top down advantage' should only come through teamwork with SOFLAM/Dart as it was in previous games.

@DeltaDude208 according to info within the game, any SOFLAM'ed target will go into Top Down Mode.However, I agree, the user should be able to toggle this independently

do you need line of sight to lock onto something designated with soflam when using javlin?

First time I've ever had this happen.

Games almost over and everyone just started running in place and got booted.
