So i have the solution to them nab choppers. I call on all snipers to carry soflams. If you see the pro pilots soflam that big boy and ill come and gladly javelin his proness from the air. They can do what they want as soon as that javelin locks its over.
Or the other solution is just to shoot him with the main gun of a mbt.
What is the soflam? I saw a lot of comments on the weekend about soflam noobs.

Its a laser marker that can mark any land or air vehicle within range. Then people on your team with launchers or guided missiles can lock on said targets and take them out.
More weapons bumps and nervs.

Does it even work with stealth on? I have given up trying to lock onto anything that takes to the sky. AA Mobile or the planes and helis get ignored(run from :P)
If the pilots are good then they tend to get overpowering on the battlefield hence why soflam is so important. But it would seem most teams are oky with a chopper hovering and raping everyone.
Remember that a Soflam is a Line Of Sight (LOS) tool to acquire the target and lock, meaning stealth does not help 1 bit. Once the Javelin or guided shell has been fired, it uses internal mechanics to steer it to the tank/chopper/jet. Javelin against tanks is normally a fire and forget scenario. The missile will use a pop up attack to hit the tank from top.
