I had the same problem, but from what i read you just paint the target for guided rockets and jets and stuff like that. The javelin can also hit the target you paint. I thought i could like call in an airstrike or something like that lol, but its like an airstrike to your teammates and people that have the weapons to hit the targets that you mark with the soflam.How do you use soflam effectively in battlefield 3?
Yeah it just paints targets, i was also thinking it calls in airstrikes but that would be over kill lol.
