I started the Spec Ops assignment when I unlocked the SOFLAM.
Besides the 20 sniper kills you need to paint 5 targets. I've gotten all 5 but nothing ever happens to the tanks. I'm assuming you actually need to have some one in your platoon adept in a chopper or a jet to take the tank out?? It also says that the SOFLAM acts independently ... just curious if anyone's had a success with this and if you have any tips. |

the SOFLAM only marks targets, allowing jets, choppers or handheld javelins to lock & fire on that target. u can set it down in autonomous mode and an enemy vehicle that appears within its vision cone will be marked. put it in areas more elevated like a rooftop, and facing an area that gets high traffic.
i fly jets and i love havn someone to SOFLAM a chopper so i can hit it with my guided missile instead of havn to strafe it down |

As TX said, getting something out of Soflam requires ppl who know what they are doing - not n00bies with Tom Cruise syndrome
![]() ![]() Of course there's not much use of it if nobody has guided ammunition available in their vehicles..
This video quite says it all:

When I go in a match with Soflam in mind, my friends adapt to it. One comes in with a Javelin and the other supplies them. I wouldn't recommend trying to shoot Jets or Choppers, it will hit roughly 20% of the time since it's trying to hit it;s weak spots. You can have it run autonomous mode, but it tracks horribly. If you want to use the Soflam effectively it requires 3 people and mics. You can designate with an Attack Chopper with 1st seat setup with Laser painter, the CTV Station which is 3rd seat in the main battle tanks, or the Soflam. I set it up in a high area, exit out, find cover, and go back into it. It's especially effective on Kharg Island on Rush when you're defending, when we play not one Amtrac will make it to land!!! Also, Laser designated vehicles can be shot with either the IGLA, Stinger, or the Javelin, regardless of being land or air.
