I think it might be due to the Line of sight for the SOFLAM? When I've used it manually, I noticed that I could only laser paint vehicles that I could actually see. Once they went behind a hill or something, I lost them.

Someone else might want to confirm if they saw something similar.
No it wont designate through hills...

Generally speaking. If shifty provides any information, one should assume he is wrong.

Gotta team up with someone using a soflam. Then the jav becomes awesome. Helis dont stand a chance (unless they are using ecm.) Soflam also allows the jav to target stuff behind buildings and hills. Provided the target is painted.

How do you manage to get a lock with the jav and then fire upwards? I got a lock this morning, and looked up to fire so it hits top down, but lost the lock.

Does the jav automatically hit from the top? Am I totally fucking up this technique somehow?

It's similar to the RPG/CG lock in BC2, you have to flick the scope up once you have the lock and fire immediately.

Jav is by default in direct mode, so it'll fly straight at the target level. When you use it with a SOFLAM it goes into top attack. So even if you look level, it'll still shoot up. Although aiming up can help you clear obstacles sometimes.

if you look up really fast and fire it will maintain the lock.  don't stare at the sky or it will lose it... just lock on, then swing up and fire instantly.

Whatever Assault Rifle + Underbarrel + MASS M26w/ Frag Rounds is a good combination. You can spam the frags at someone (and it causes a big suppression effect) and then finish them off with the rifle, if you use it as an underbarrel attachment it flips so fast that it makes it worthwhile even in close range. Especially because frags rounds have splash damage. Was using to good effect on sharqi. It's abit disappointing that the frag rounds don't do damage to the environment though, they ought to chip away through walls and such.

I have a hotkey so I can switch quickly from the M26 to the rifle, you need something like that so you can switch quickly. Go in, spam a few frag rounds, switch to the rifle. Good for taking people out behind cover ...it's a nice little kit setup for Assault.

I unlocked the M26 frag rounds recently and wasn't a big fan. The M26 MASS is a great one hit kill close range weapon, but I just didn't get that with the frag rounds. Does it have more spread or something?

Anyone got a suggestion for an lmg for a starting support player. Anyone have a preference?

default ones work just fine (like 1/2 assault rilfe). PKP is a good weapon is you want to remain consistent.

PKP and MG36. 100 and 200 rounds allow you to kill more effectively than the RPK and the other starting LMG.

I prefer the M249. PKP seems to be a bit random.

PKP has massive recoil but if you can deal with that the thing has absolutely massive damage.

The recoil is very predictable especially with foregrip, ADS, burst fire + 200 rounds = accuracy

I don't use foregrips with my LMGs. I'm too busy setting them up and covering a high traffic area too be moving around.

PKP and the M240 become super-accurate if you give them sustained fire. They jump around at first, but then they settle and almost don't move, and that's with a foregrip.

PkP with bi-pod is working wonders so far. If I'm going with a foregrip gun it's been the M249. Can't kill something standing still with that M240 yet get 1 shotted with it every time. ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

KH2002 is the best gun in this game - hands down!

I absolutely love it! Using foregrip, heavy barrel, and iron sights on it. The thing has absolutely no recoil and the delay interval between shots is practically nonexistent so it feels like it fires in full auto and yet you can squeeze the trigger once at longer ranges and get 3 hits.

Been having no problems with the M1911 w/ tac light (if I'm going to be switching to my pistol, it's probably because I'm in some shit and can't take cover and reload, so might as well blind the fools).

Equipped the M93-R on my recon class and had to resort to it once. Didn't let me down. Dunno what they were thinking when they designed it in BC2.
