And this thing will really limit your ability to hide and take cover from the above when you're at the frontline.

Did you see how difficult it was for db to try and lase a stationary target while the UAV was in flight? I think you'll have more things to worry about rather than being lased by a UAV flying a set course for a specific amount of time, of which, has a recharge time after its flight time has expired. If you're in a vehicle, just don't stay put in one play for long and you'll be fine.

It's actually not that hard savage, I just moved the mouse around to show it's click and mark.

I forsee the Commander position being taken quite a bit more in future releases.

The uav laser projectile is coded to guide to the exact spot you clicked.

I would have settled for being able to see the uav on the map.

Down right amazing. Hopefully commander will be a position that is never vacant again.

even if the box doesnt go to the same exact spot?


because for me when i a helicopter and lasing its hard to lase things while moving, the laser box doesnt seem to go where i click

[EvilWaffles]

Same for me Conman.

And you're welcome for the sig.

Ah, that makes sense. It seemed like it used the same, buggy code as the co-pilot seat in the scout helicopters. Okay well, it still flies on a set course for a predetermined amount of time and still needs to recharge before being used again. Everything seems fine to me.
