ive always been unsure how these work when painting a target,

in 0.8 or something you could see enemy lases and a sort of box that flew to them

im out of practice i want to know

1, is the lase shot or instantly marked
2.are lases sticky to the target
3.can as a squad leader see my own lases?
4.if you have a spotter with lase binos can he also paint targets just not mark them on the map?
5i assume as soon as i turn the laze on it appears and when laser is turned off it stops?, does this mean i have to be careful where i point them?


many thanks

1. Yes
2. Yes, there's slight aim assist and full lag compensation, but stick for about 0.3 seconds
3. Everyone in a cas vehicle can see lases
4. As long as you have a GLTD with the "ON/OFF" text, you can lase.
5. Yes

thanks

6.is counter laze still possible?

Don't remember, I think we decided to not allow jets to lock on enemy lases? not sure.

Last time when I teamkilled tank it was not, maybe you fixed it in last few patches.

back in the old 1.0 days i saw a jet get counter lazed by us bomb the forest get 10 teamkills and auto kicked and crash.

these kind of moments my friends

Counterlazing doesn't work if you laze the (e.g.) a tank directly as the jet will see it's a friendly vehicle being lazed, but if you just laze the ground next to it it works fine.

awesome

No, I don't think that matters anymore. It doesn't stick on the engine-level.

>4.if you have a spotter with lase binos can he also paint targets just not mark them on the map?

why can't a spotter send a cas request without an SL marker

You can, the Q menu switches and lets you do it.

when the bombs are out, they no longer care whether it's friendly or enemy, oof.

In theory if I was lasing for a jet, he drops bomb but i stop lasing at the same time. The bomb will direct to the nearest laze it can find or continue to the old laze.

I checked and I do assign team to the lase object, so it should not lock on friendly lases.

Bombs are coded as guided missiles, they will not lock on a lase that has the same team assigned to it (your lase target gets the enemy team). But I don't know if the "redirect" mechanic works with this target type.

so all this counterlaze business is a thing of the past or poorly remembered. i guess unless u had an enemy kit perhaps we did.

You can still counter-laze the ground next to enemy vehicle, no ?

I don't know if "redirect" works on this type of lock. Pretty sure its a different mode than anti air.
