Weapons Sniper and SOFLAM scope glints now show from a further distance

Just came back, to see if there has been any changes, to get the game back on track, and it has NOT.

The MOST disturbing thing of this patch is:

Weapons

  • Sniper and SOFLAM scope glints now show from a further distance

So, not only does Sniper and SOFLAM have a 5 million lumen spotlight, which they train to avoid at all cost, but now they decided it should be SO STRONG, it's visable, from a "further distance"

How is, before patch: From 1 side of the map to the OTHER side of the map, not long enough?

Let's put on another 15 million lumen on those bad boys...

Why don't you just make a MASSIVE NEON SIGN that floats over everyone who holds a sniper rifle? And, while you're at it, increase their hitbox by 50 000%, so that those sniper haters, can melee them from their SPAWN. Since you clearly don't want snipers in the game, or their accual function.

As it goes for SOFLAM, should only be visable to IR/IV/NV and not to the naked eye.

What's next on the massive scale of stupid things to change in this game? A monster gun, that shoots in a Nuke-monster that wins you the round, 1-Hit-KO!

Well, with that said, I guess I still won't be coming back, as long as they keep doing these insanley weird, stupid updates, that makes NO sense.

Next comeback: 2022-08.

Untill then, keep up the good work of failing on!

  • I recall that a video was saying that the glint was not showing beyond 500 meters per patch.

    Were they that concerned about the non existent 500+ M snipers?

    In any case I do not get why the SOFLAM should have a glint. It is not OHKing people, it is not even hurting them,

    I get the possible need for a lock on source hitmarker for the vehicles but why should someone spotting for their team with the BF2042 SOFLAM aka BF4 PLD have their location broadcast to every enemy sniper in that direction? It is like saying not to spot with the SOFLAM

  • I didn't even realise the SOFLAM had scope glint. 

    I mean it makes sense, but I never even considered it.

    Back in BF3/4 I guess it was solved perfectly. Soflam only showed for pilots as a red glint if i remember correctly. And subtly so that it was a fair chance to mark a bit undetectedly for infantry but the pilot could also notice it if he pays attention. Loved that.

    soflam should not have glint when being used in 3x since 4x and below scopes don't have glint.

  • Im sure someone was crying about the SOFLAM.  I'm surprised the drone doesn't have a glint on it too now.
