Pakistani Taliban head's death a blow to militants - Yahoo! News

Simply put, allow them to laser-target, but make them shootdownable like vBF.

From the Highlights thread about the Commander UAVs.

1) Not all drones have missiles,

2) The way its done basically means it is a missile itself so it you can probably see the issue there.

Then again, just use the commander-placing laser targets thing (in the cmdr screen).

Overlooked that.

Why is everybody obsessed with UAVs shooting hellfires?!? I gotta say, looks like the people asking for this are probably not the right people to be in the commander role.

Because it is the epitome of 1337 and cool.

And because it's like being in combat without actually being in combat.

UAVs with hellfires might be realistic, but there is already the JDAM something there is no countermeasure against it. I dont know about adding further such tools.

The Dev has a point

Everyone would be spamming the crap out of the UAV and firing Hellfires everywhere, Then everyone would be complaining about nerfage needed for it.
