Can anyone explain how the SOFLAM works?

Right now it's just binoculars. It's planned to be used as laser designator (I think).

Yeah, in a later release it will be used as a laser-designator for jets and helicopters.

Not just bincos....

Really cool binocs

They have double zoom as well incase you didnt know SteelRain.

If your sniping SF makes for a nice spotter too. Or a Marksman.

Better than binocs IMO

no one has said it yet, so I will

Its a laser designator but they forgot the batteries, so its binoculars

SOFLAM=Giant VIEWMASTER

Am I the only one who thinks the binocs are much better that the SOFLAM? I often pick the AP kit, just for the binoc and grenades. I feel that you see much better with the binocs... SOFLAM seam more like a cheap toy or something :S

Yes, you're the only one. The double zoom makes for exceptional spotting abilities.

Why in so many threads, do people just keep repeating what the above person says, only they word it differently? This thread isn't too bad but just saying...

Back on Topic...

I can't understand why people keep repeating what others have said. They just paraphrase the person above them. This happens in lots of threads.

Repetitium est mater studiorum

(spelling might be wrong)

I find it hard to spot with the SOFLAM, especially at the higher magnification. I never seem to hit the target (with Q-spotting), even if the top of the little sighting arrow is right on them. Is this a bug caused by the zooming, bad placement of the arrow graphic or am I just too dumb to use this SOFLAM right?

'[R-PUB wrote:Viper5'] Or a Marksman.

I wouldnt think that fair on regular squads to have him in that position.

The SOFLAM has a range finder that will give you distance. yes, good for spotter and if you and an experienced sniper can work together, you can give him the rangers and he can bust heads open.

...mongol...

With the addition of the choppers zoom abilities, I would love to see the SOFLAM lazer show up in the gunners view. Its already hard to look around with it, but a nice target would work i.e point out bad guys.
