What is the point of Soflam?
Really, what's the point if you still have to get an AA lock on before firing and it can be flared away even through the Soflam lock? Or am I missing something here?

Some vehicles have dedicated laser guided weapons than can only operate with the use of external designations a la SOFLAM - They're usually way more powerful and result in what's normally a 1HK on air vehicles and at least a crippling shot on tanks.
I unlocked T1 in about 6 or 7 rounds of Breakthrough so it's definitely got potential, but I think I only ever got 7 or so vehicle destroy assists in that time so if nobody else wants to help you, it can appear rather useless. Needing to lock on to an already designated target sounds weird but I think things would get pretty janked and broken if you could just blind fire and obtain an auto lock.
I think in older titles, maybe it was 3 or 4, if you maintained your lock via SOFLAM and you were flared, the rockets would fly in circles and wait to re-obtain the lock (basically guaranteeing a kill for someone).
Solflam + Anti tank wildcat missile = ohk on aircraft that are not transports and 2 hit kill on trnasports
