Javelin
What is the point in the javelin? I fail to see how an rpg does the same damage as a guided missile i feel this needs addressing so the weapon becomes useable.

I think the Javelin is a great weapon. I don't think the issue is with the weapon itself, but rather the fact that players in the game only care about k/d and weapon grinding. With a team, it's actually pretty broken. Had a squad of four where we had infinite ammo due to support, non-stop laser designation from a recon, and two engineers with javelins. Fastest conquest game of my life. Had all 5 objectives and the enemy team couldn't move a single vehicle outside their base.
The game doesn't incentivize players to play the way my squad played. What huge benefit do you get in just reviving/re-supply or laser-designating? Not enough rewards for playing objectively, in an objective-based game.
The same can be said with the Stinger or Igla. By itself it is difficult to down aircraft, but in a "good" squad, you can do serious damage.
Even running stinger + jav in a squad works as long as the target is lit already.
But the javelins range and top down impact do differentiate it from the stinger. It is harder to identify the source of the shot and dodge the shot due to its top down impact.
