Laser Designator
LTLM II
In-game description
“The designator functions as binoculars for enhanced spotting and allows users to mark designate both vehicles and locations. Designated targets can be locked-on from further away and lose below-radar protection. Users can set the device to function autonomously and remotely access the designator at any point, which can rotate to provide a 360 degree field of view.”
