LTLM II Laser Designator changes in Battlefield 6

The LTLM II Laser Designator can no longer be placed by accident when you release zoom and fire together or tap fire while zooming.

The LTLM II Portable Laser Designator can no longer be deployed unintentionally by releasing the zoom and fire buttons at the same time, or by repeatedly pressing fire while zooming and then releasing zoom.

The LTLM II Laser Designator's effect lasts much shorter and no longer speeds up anti-air lock-ons, but it now gives every locking weapon the same boost to lock-on range, including vehicle designators.

• Effect duration has been reduced from 20 to 9 seconds for both soldier and vehicle designators.
• Laser Designator no longer reduces lock-on time for anti-air missiles.
• Gadget now provides a consistent 20% increase to lock-on range across all locking weapons. This also applies to vehicle-mounted laser designators.

Fixed an issue where the LTLM II Portable Laser Designator could prioritise already-painted targets instead of the vehicle being aimed at.

The LTLM II laser designator spots over a wider angle and a longer distance in binocular mode, but can no longer paint the environment, and its paint marks now drop when a vehicle enters thermal smoke.

• Spotting angle and maximum spotting distance in binocular mode have been made more forgiving.
• Can no longer laser paint the environment.
• Now removes laser paint marks when a vehicle enters thermal smoke.
• Now correctly spots vehicles when laser painting them.
• Thermal view toggle now updates the UI correctly.
• Zoom now activates instantly and returns to your previous zoom level.
• Deploy animation now plays correctly.
• Will now rotate properly for other players when deployed.
• Improved the Game Hint to show RMB (Zoom) instead of E/R (Interact/Reload).
