I dont no if this problem can be adressed but it needs to be, the lasers in the cobra, apache should be able to stick to the surface of which the gunner puts it on not drag and stick no were near they have put it.
Also the laser that the sniper and squad leader have the laser should deploy first time on the target not dissapear and u have to deploy it again, i was playing kashan last nite i was in f16 and another lad was in the a10 we could not get lases because the lase that was being sent by squad leader would not go down it would appear and then dissapear, the target was like 400m away so not very far, again i dnt no if these problems r being adressed or even can be fixed but wanted to no if they can

Yes, people need to realize that they only need to press the button down once, not 2035879 times. Since the laser box acts like a object, not a stream, it needs time to rest on the target and stick. The further the target, the longer the time of settle. It's really simple but some squad leaders and snipers don't get it, and it can, like you said, be very frustrating in the air when they are not using it correctly.


I do get a bug now and then where the box disappears on the target mid-flight, but it is still traveling and on the target. Just need to assume it is on it and there for 30 seconds.

Might be on to something, IRL don't they just set a laser and the apache just follows it automatically? We can't do that ofc, but a single projectile htat doesn't follow the mouse would simulate it.

DO NOT HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON ON THE SOFLAM!!!! Why might you ask, Because if you do you will get to see a pretty yellow ring attached to a very BIG bomb that just pulled a 180 degree turn to drop on you head!!!

I undertand wt ppl r saying but the problem is esspecialy in the cobra and apache with the missile that follows ur movement it can be very difficult to fire that missile on the move, which i no shouldnt be done like that however wen u have no lasers and lots of targets theres no point in sitting around doin nothin. So the laser should stick to the first position that u put it on which could be a tank apcc inf.
In terms of the squad leader laser the thing i was reffering to was wen i was playing kashan the guy that i was playing with useually plays spotter on kashan and is used to using the laser, but wen he pressed the button to deploy he was pressing it once on a target no more than 400m away and the laser wouldnt deploy, so i guess if many ppl r getting this problem then its not a suggestion its a bug
