May actually try some BF3 tonight. Maybe some co-op or something.

If you still have it, send me your verbose review, too smile.gif.

I'll be on tonight around 9-10ish EST. hit me up if I'm on.

I wouldn't mind running a Soflam/JAV squad some time, get 2 jav's a soflam and ammo and just set up somewhere. You could probably keep just about every vehicle down if you set up in a good spot.

In a Conquest/Oman game, in a random pub, the team I was on was begging for SOFLAMs and when they went up it was a game changer. That game was the only time I saw 4 JAVs winding towards a chopper at once. Looked awesome.

1 squad working around a SOFLAM guy (paint, get kills, displace, redeploy) can be great fun. Takes a squad of patient/team-oriented people, though. Even just focusing on the choppers (SOFLAM/JAVs) and keeping them down as much as possible can swing a game.

Soflam + Javs can definitely swing a game, but its not always that easy to get random people to cooperate as a team. Just a little bit of cooperation/teamwork can go a long ways in this game though. Just how a good chopper crew or jet pilot can dominate for a whole match if nobody does anything about it. Even a coordinated 2 man tank crew can do some serious damage, game changing even if they are working closely together.

soflams are more effective when manually operated

and having a dedicated javelin crew able to react fast on the demand of the soflam operator can deal with pesky choppers

I will literally jump out of a vehicle to toss a jav when something is painted.
I still think javs when used right are the most overpowering element in BF3.

It's so disheartening not being able to leave your base on Kharg island.

Why is it no one understands the importance of SOFLAM? I'm not claiming to be the best player, but it just astounds me that people can't see where the opposing team is strongest and tackle that as a team. Just played on a server, Conquest on Kharg Island, and it was full of noobs. Almost everyone one our team is an engineer, except for 3 or 4 snipers. Not one SOFLAM. Even after I asked our team for pretty much the entire game. When I joined we were winning by 100 or so tickets, then the RU team got a pretty good heli pilot and we got massacred. All of a sudden we're losing.
It's so incredibly annoying. It's not like you have to actively SOFLAM, place it somewhere good and it'll lock on to stuff in it's sight, you don't even have to change your play style.
Me and a friend joined a server the other night playing on a similar game. Our team isn't doing too good, RU had about 300 tickets on us. The entire US team is either a medic or an engineer running around in a tank. My friend puts down a SOFLAM and sits back and snipes and I protect him and take out any attacking helis or tanks as well as maintaining B and C. We then lost by ~30 tickets. I know this wasn't just me and my friend, but if no-one takes out the vehicles how do people expect to run around and not get raped?
/rant.
So how was everyone's day?


As a high ranking sniper, I truly do not use soflam much. For many reason, too. It may seem like I'm just being a jerk, and I would like too but here are some reasons why.

  1. Hugely gives away your position. I can not tell you how many choppers have come and tried to kill me (and succeeded) after I placed a solfam.
  2. Takes time. I usually go sniper for a quick kill on an annoyance or other. Snipers have plenty of time to spot you and everything if you place the soflam far enough away to where no choppers will kill you.
  3. Gets you knifed. I hate getting knifed. Without a t-ugs I have little protection.
  4. Even without soflaming I spot everything. So be happy.

spotting everything means nothing if your team gets wasted because of jets and choppers and not 1 single friendly soflam
