Something wrong with the Attack Huey flares?

I just found an incentive to get a signature. And here it is:

Red hot tip for young players: AA counters Air Vehicles, but is defenseless against ground forces. Use combined arms to isolate enemy vulnerabilities and counter them allowing you to create dilemmas for him.

And thanks for the Sig.

The flares don´t fire forward anymore, and come from the back (more or less) and the huey has been slowed down. Heat object has been adjusted aswell iirc.


Its random though, I think you have been too still or unlucky.

As a coincidence here is a little example of how its not 100% death (at the beginning).

It's easy for an AA to lock you in this moment for an experienced player. He just has to turn away slightly to get rid of the fake locks and lock your helo again. You'll have no chance.

Let me explain what exactly I was doing...
I was playing Barracuda and there was an AA in D6 KP 5... When I started shooting it...I finished shooting like 200 Meters away from it... Then I turned away back to my carrier and dropped flares... So the flares and AA both were behind me! and after like 2 seconds... 2 missiles were shot at me... One hit a flare and the other got me!
