>h-heh there's no teamwork i'm going to make it worse by being a useless nigger and getting 6 kills in 25 minutes and contribute nothing to the team
Nigger. It's not even true. BF4 was almost unplayable in vehicles in it's late life because you couldn't go anywhere on certain maps without some recon lasing you and 8 missiles raping your gaping asshole. Spotting is also nerfed to shit in this game and recons passively spot while ADS because brainless brown niggers like you are too stupid to press fucking Q.
tl;dr you're a nigger

Read your tooltips, newfriend. The laser helps other players lock on to air and ground vehicles. In previous games it would allow some aim guided munitions to otherwise lock on as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It'll be more useful once people have the javelin unlocked, but it still helps those with iglas and other stuff to swat jets and helis and show players where enemy vehicles are. Generally it's something you should do if you're a recon sitting up somewhere on a vantage point and you don't have anyone to shoot at.
