The Mechanics behind SOFLAM

Question

How exactly does the SOFLAM work? Do you always need to be manning it in order to lock on to enemy vehicles?

Answer

Like the MAV and T-UGS, the SOFLAM works either as a manned or unmanned device.

If you place it on a high area with an overlook (ideally), it will automatically scan for and lock on to enemy vehicles in its field of vision. No human intervention required.

I suspect that it is more efficient when manned and operated manually -- and you can switch over to your deployed SOFLAM to control it remotely at any time using the proper gadget key -- but it does work either way.

Also note that the SOFLAM survives your death as recon, once deployed it is a permanent battlefield artifact until it is destroyed by the enemy.
