This might have been covered , however I have not seen it yet. In recent days/week(s) flares from both the LIB and my ESF seem to be absolutely worthless. This is not a striker issue, as has been in the past, it seems to apply to all lock-ons. So my question is this: is this a bug, or has something changed in the way that flares work? anyone else notice this problem?
Flares are indeed bugged right now. The only way to use them (semi)effectively at this time is to pop them BEFORE they fire. Do not let anyone else try to convince you that it's pilot error... we know better at this point.
It's true. Once the missile is fired the missile still hits you what feels like 50 percent of the time. Also they always hit through terrain. Always. Cover is useless once lock is established.
Thanks for the replies. It makes sense, ad I hope that SOE fixes this soon. It explains the sudden up-tick in strikers
