Battlefield 3: Why javelin missile is so useless? (even with SOFLAM designation)

[rolandtran10]

how do u use SOFLAM anyway

[grandmasterauto]

What the fuck?!

[nok1888]

I hit a tank with 8 javlin missiles and still didnt destroy it. I was 100 yards away from it on open ground so i know for a fact every one was a hit, the ppl in the tank were not even looking for me and i even went and found a support so i could throw down ammo lol

[12345678sab123]

@nok1888 that is because of lag... use it more and you will see how incredibal it is... it will hit helicopter and destroy it 99% of the time ... and disable a tank in one hit

[MrEirey]

Already fixed after 9/12/2011

[Rui96711]

the javelin misses 70 percent of the time, even with a soflam, and no movement from the tank, it needs to be fixed. plus the damage it does is pathetic, the amount of time it takes to lock on and fire it should be considerably more powerful. even tho it let's me down constantly I still com't bring myself to not keep trying to make it work

[DragonBlud117]

I have been using the javelin since yesterday while cooperating with SOFLAM. Every shot hit and disabled or destroyed. I feel the javelin's direct fire is broken.

hahah what a joke

[flyKICKyo]

what a fucking useless piece of flying fuck hope they fix this broken turd launcher

[kidcombo]

He's not trolling. I had the same problem today. I had a squad of 3 engineers (including myself) and 1 recon. Our entire intent was to try and take out any tank/chopper/etc We fired about 4-5 shots each and only 2-3 of the shots hit (2-3 out of 15). We just assumed something was broken but I don't know.

[StarkMods]

@kidcombo I've had this happen recently as well, and I believe the vehicle I was targeting wasn't even moving.

[j00jy]

Its the ultimate weapon troll.

[4nimeDaisuki]

Its hitting BEHIND the tank ? Well that sucks. Laser designation only seems to be broken with Javelins though. Works fine with Guided Missiles and Guided Shells though.

[Rantaneekeri]

i feel sorry for you .

my deepest condolences

[mbjr2586]

Yes this does suck, hope they fix it soon....

[yousmellofeddleberry]

bump for justice.... it happens all the time.

[Specopleader]

It looks like it's missing the tank, like a glitch.

[Cloakk]

That's gotta be the most frustrating thing in the world

[quaresma8800]

I bet this javelin was made in China

[Kazuun]

Uhm, kinda... uhm.... shitty launcher :/

[lakimakromedia]

true true ....
