@12mhunter Using the javelin normally, it can lock onto ground vehicles only. The laser painting allows it to lock onto air vehicles, and when a ground vehicle is painted, it makes the javelin fly up and then down on top of the vehicle. Also, when the javelin is fired at a laser painted target, it bypasses ir flares/smoke.
Glad to see that there is a solution to this problem. Can you get that shit to lock on to these pussies using the USAS? lol Now all I need is somebody to play with.
@H0L0S Isn't the UMP just a sub machine gun? If it's the one I'm thinking about, it's pretty average if you ask me. Works good from close range, but long distance sucks. (kinda like it was intended to work IMO)
@Blackwido88 Yeah, the UMP .45 is a submachine gun classed under the personal defense weapons. I've been "counter-sniped" with it enough times to think it's over-powered. Maybe they've patched it
@omegaxtrigun They're definitely not using IR flares. And even so, I'm fairly sure that IR flares don't work on any guided missle, since it technically is using soflams to lock on, and not the vehicles heat signature.
@gametitan88 Well, sometimes they do miss even when fully locked. I'm pretty sure the rockets have a limited fuel supply, and if they fly too far away, it runs out and misses. Hell, sometimes it blows up near them but didn't actually hit them.
@omegaxtrigun Lol, I wish fuel was the issue... Fuel is definitely not the issue when it does 5 loops around the helicopter and still won't hit. My tank guided missles ALWAYS hit, nothing else does.
i wish they put back the handgun tracer. I'm a bit annoyed about the class why does the support all have the freaking good equipment. C4, Mortar, and Claymore wtf its so biased.
Any 360 players out there looking to play BF3? I don't have any friends that play it on the 360 so I'm looking to form a squad, I really like teamwork on the PC and id like to try it on the 360.
I use the CITV when in a tank, but i started noticing that I would lock on to something and when my gunner shot the guided shell it did nothing but literally tip the chopper over has anyone else noticed this or was I just experiencing some weird kind of glitch???
Soflams are excellent. You can target air or ground vehicles if somone soflam's a target for you.
One game I told the team I was on playing the map that has the giant golf ball water tower that I was marking targets and I saw 8 javelin missiles hitting the same targets :)
I always end up with useless people on my team. ( not to be an ass ). I use the soflam a lot but in most games I let the people in my squad know I'm using it. But the rather corner camp with the support class. It's free kills. I do what I can to win but there's way to many support classes now.
@SLADEizGOD i agree most of the time no1 tries to shoot air support down then im telling my team mates to use the soflam so i can shoot the shit down and they start screaming at me ..? what do you play on? :d
soflam + jav is not really op'ed, seeing that all you have to di is kill the sniper or destroy the sof. what is op'ed is when a little bird is running "laser painter, ecm, and guided missiles," now that shit will destroy anything.
thats actually useful as HELL cuz on damvadan peak on conquest the choppers are a huge pain....for that matter any well equipped chopper team is a pain.....good video
i'm guessing this is the "top down attack" that the tooltip in the loading screen talks about? good to know. :P. this would explain a few one shot deaths in tanks and helis.
your country and my country and the world for that matter is being raped by the queen of england and you sit there and make jewtube vids about computer games.
He is on the 360 not the PS3.... Though you are still right. On consoles this Jav + SOFLAM combo is rarely seen.
In fact the SOFLAM shows up on the map once it locks (or is spotted) to a vehicle. On console, vehicles destroy these quickly as no one uses the Javelin because not enough people use the SOFLAM. No one use SOFLAM because it is useless when it is on the map.
@TheAngelGabriel99 Air vehicles need to be tagged by a laser designator for the Javelin to lock onto. It only locks on ground targets without a laser designator, but more damage is dealt when ground targets are painted.
Kinda disappointed with Wrath. Not much incentive to go up in the air when there's shit that can instakill you and all it takes is a auto rocket and a lazer pointer thingy. That's not balance. That's exploitation. I'm playing on PC and let me tell you morons what, having 2-3 soflams up and 10 guys with Javelins locking on to you, on a 64 players Conquest map, it's not *fun*. Nor is it balanced. I used to at least respect you man. Remove the engis ability to rep in air, dont counter with bullshit
Dude, have you ever played on the console? The Soflam and Javalin combo is rarely if at all used. Do not compare console to PC.
For all of you whining about how "OP" it is, this combo is very very rare to see in console games. All of you that are complaining must be PC guys (despite how useful it is). The Jav+SOFLAM combo requires teamwork, so a 1 shot hit on copters is understandable. They nerfed stingers in the last patch, so taking a vehicle down with it, is now is luck
@FoggyFishburne where you just in the game i was in because my clan and i compleatly dominate a team with 3 javs 2 soflams and one ammo guy, they could hardly keep any vehicles up much past their base.
@FoggyFishburne Stoppppp bitchinnnngggg, jesus. If you had a good team, you could could all this shit easily; attempt to take out the soflam's or tag them so then people can join in on taking them out OR just don't use air vehicles.
@FoggyFishburne So bitch Wrath out for showing people a tip in the game? It's not his problem there might be some unbalanced stuff going on here. It's not like he helped develop the game or had say in it. So just blindly ignore this method for taking down air support because "it's not fair"? The hell?
@Afirefighterspride i hate when that happens, i was killed like this in my jet after firing flares. it happened twice in 2 different lobbies.. i was pissed
Awe I was exited to unlock the soflam because I thought I could shoot stuff down in 1 shot. By myself because I heard the soflams are pilots worst nightmares
Or it's called being a good pilot, I mean the ECM is flaring out for 5 seconds and it has a 10 second reload, so if you are a good pilot you have 5 seconds to get somewhere safe, and 5 seconds of waiting for a reload
I usually try this, but none of my engys use the lock on and that pisses me off I wish I would have been on last night so I could play with you, because I head you normally play as an engy and I like the Recon not to good with him, but I would like to use him more. Hopefully next time you send out an inv to play I will see it.
@wrath111377 Beating OP with OP doesn't work. Attack helos have no counter other than the ECM for this and ECM takes around 2-3 seconds to come into affect. When 10 people are running javelin and 10 people running SOFLAM the attack helo becomes unless. Dice intended stingers and other vehicles to counter them. Just hop into a Z-11 and take it out. Shit, use teamwork with other squadmates and tell them to run engie. The javelin should not be 1 hit destroy. Demize is going to patch it.
@GOGATORSFL i'm good with this method. 12 men on your team. 3 of them flying around not capping points. this isn't hawx. air vehicles are a peripheral, not the whole show, and dice put this in the game on purpose, so this is exactly what they intended
stressing teamwork. that is bf3. not being given carte blanche to kill whore. sorry.
@wrath111377 i just hate it when im the gunner in an apache and the pilot is too musy trying to kill jets when im trying to kill ground patrol and heavy armor. i have lasre guided missiles, i'd like to use them
@wrath111377 Nope you're entirely wrong. If you read what Demize is posting on Reddit you would know. Demize is patching it to 1 hit disable. Just because you're not a good enough pilot doesn't mean punish good pilots. It's OP. And I thought what separated COD from BF was vehicles (along with core game mechanics). I can cap points with my Z-11 on Noshar and when all flags are taken I proceed to kill whore. No problem when your team is winning.
@GOGATORSFL I follow demize on twitter. they may be adjusting it, but it is as it was intended. the rest of your post was meaningless drivel fueled by spite. Peace.
@wrath111377 Demize has already stated that it is over powered versus air vehicles and they plan on nerfing it whilst buffing stingers to lock on faster, but have limited range so they can't "deny the skies to air vehicles". Soflam has a range of 600 meters, which denies the skies more than Stingers do, so it'll be nerfed. I imagine using the ECM will break the lock of any incoming Javelin missile and Soflam will have a much smaller range.
@GOGATORSFL The only reason it is 1 hit destroy is because of teamwork.. you have to have a squadmate engineer and recon working together to tag the heli first of all..
@GOGATORSFL I agree with you mate. The SOFLAM/Javelin combo is so ridiculously overpowered I'm actually starting to suspect that Kertz and the rest of the BF3 designers are completely fucking incompetent. It takes zero skill for an asshole to lock on and shoot a heli down with the javelin. Literally zero. Although I agree that having a bunch of engis repairing a heli is retarded, DICE should just remove the ability to repair a vehicle while on it, and get rid of the SOFLAM/Javelin.
@wrath111377 Ive always felt that beeing able to repair helicoptors while flying, atleast on consoles, is op. What i would do is remove the ability repair while in the chopper and lower the damage of a Javelin to a chopper to 50 so atleast you have some chance
@antasaur really marines OP? Zerg counter to marines roach or baneling. Protoss counter collosi or stalker and terran counter to marines is tanks now stop complaining and learn your counters and how to apply them.
@GOGATORSFL If something requires two people to have certain high level unlocks equipped at the same time AND communicating together (within the restraints of the game ie legit and not via hax) to battle against a fast and powerful squad holding flying machine...it's not OP.

@GOGATORSFL If something requires two people to have certain high level unlocks equipped at the same time AND communicating together (within the restraints of the game ie legit and not via hax) to battle against a fast and powerful squad holding flying machine...it's not OP.

@GOGATORSFL USAS w/Frag Rounds, FAMAS, and the M249 are OP. This is just SMART. Strategy for Men Actually Requiring Teamwork.
