Why Change SOFLAM if Tracer Dart was the issue

So the patch notes stated Javelin will not lock to tracer dart unless you gain line of sight. Ok thats fine but now why is the SOFLAM changed to line of sight as well?  Not too many people run with ...

Man I wish the Javelin and SOFLAM would just work as they did in BF4.

Now we're stuck in this odd situation where few people run with javelins, fewer people run with darts and even fewer people can find ammo for their javelin rockets after the recent big classes patch. Add a mandatory line of sight mechanic to that to even get lockon... ugh.

And I havent spoken yet of the flares and APS.

I wonder what DICE telemetry data is telling the developers...

@Wargame_Enj0yer Plenty of engineers choose Javelin. It's now taken over from the M5 as the launcher of choice.

You should spend a few hours tanking so you are more aware of the facts about what engineers are using.

It's Lis rockets and Javelins now but I hear the RPG is coming back so I guess the nostalgia boys will be choosing that a lot more than the M5 which is fine by me.

Javelin is a far bigger threat to tanks than dumb fire rockets now that there are less of them since the class rework.

      @Psubond hope the M5 and FXM get more rockets as well, as their average damage output is ...disappointing.

      @Psubond yeh sure, can we get all the tank benefits from BF4 too then?

      Large part of the new infantry playerbase would melt if we got BF4 tanks back.

      So you get your 6 RPGS, heck have 8 if you want and we get our beast tanks back.

      Deal?
