Haven't had a chance to play the new content yet and probably won't for a few more days.
But I'm really curious how the TV missile has changed the vehicle balance.
My biggest pain point with vehicles were the unkillable Little Bird mains.
Is the TV missile a practical option against experienced Little Bird mains?
Does the TV missile receive any benefit from a SOFLAM lock?
I assume you can carry the TV Missile + M5 launcher at the same time? What's the 'reload' situation for the TV missile? How does its damage compare to the M5?
How exactly does the stealth mechanics work? Does it prevent lock-ons from stingers? What about SOFLAM locks? Does transitioning to stealth counter stingers that are already in-flight? Do stealth helis also get flares?

Not really seen many little birds around to test, the hind and the condor can shoot down the missiles if their gunners is on point. I am guessing shooting down the missile will be an issue for the littlebird since it basically have to turn into the missile to do it.
Other then showing a vehicle behind a hill i don't think a soflam does anything for the TV missile. Her passive ability shows damaged vehicles so she already have a psudo wallhack on vehicles.
You cannot use the M5 or AA luncher while playing Lis and the reload time seems longer. You can't reload while flying the missile so the TTK is much lower then the M5.
The most annoying thing so far is people sitting far into their spawn and use the missile to kill infantry. It's the Casper C5 drone 2.0.
No idea about stealth.
Good info. Surprising to hear the anti-vehicle specialist receives no benefit from SOFLAM'ed targets.
Based on what I'm hearing I'd expect much fewer M5's and stingers on the Battlefield. (People with an anti-vehicle mindset are likely running Lis). Uncoordinated SOFLAM use might have gone from being pretty iffy to a waste of time with less people able to take advantage of it.

According to this video, Liz and her rocket was specifically designed to counterbalance the stealth helicopters.
I'm really enjoying the BSV-M now that I've unlocked it. I burn through ammo really quickly with it, mostly because of my bad aim, but it fun to use. I guess it's like a modern day Commando Carbine from BFV.
