In BF3, sometimes I can get a lock over very long distances, using the Javelin Missile System, sometimes I need to be very close.
For that reason, I would like to know all conditions in which I can get a lock on a vehicle with this weapon system.
What are the conditions to get a lock with the Javelin Missile System

There are multiple ways that you can achieve a solid lock with the Javelin Missile System. Take a look at a similar postings about it here.
SOFLAM:
The recon class has the ability to to use the SOFLAM which is a laser designator which, when used properly, can increase the targeting of the Javelin to roughly 1500 Meters as mentioned by Tony
Check out this previous post by Angel.King.47 here that mentions:
Laser Designator:
Tanks and Helicopters can use the unlock of the Laser designator, which again increases the range of the Javelin to roughly 1500 meters.
Otherwise:
Tony is correct and through my personal experiences the range of the Javelin alone is between 0-300 meters. My recommendation would be to party up or communicate with other players to achieve maximum range and damage while using your Javelin.Note: most recon players with put down a Soflam on request (through my experiences). I mean who doesn't love more XP?
