Flare suggestions

[R-CON]creepin · 06-22-2008, 12:57 AM

Not sure if its possible though.

I saw in many videos and read in Wikipedia (yeah shabby i know) that Flares, especially in Helicopters are launched automatically, means as soon as the Missile got a Lock on, is this implemantable in PR?

And flares have temperatures in the thousands of degrees, shouldnt this burn a soldier when they land on somebody?

What do you guys think?

If the flares killed people they landed on, it would be a source of many lol's.

well, only when these flares land directly on the solder, which doesnt happen that often i reckon.
ever heard of:"Baghdad- Today a soldier was killed in action, he was hit by a roadside, no wait he was hit by a Flare."

Even though the chances are unlikely it can still happen and thats why i endorse this idea!

well its hardly likely you'd not endorse it, it being your idea and all...

I would agree that adding damage to flares might be interesting, though I doubt it will make that much difference (and may potentially cause people to start using them as offensive weapons. I can just see the Merlins on "attack runs" over basrah now...)

As for automatic deployment you'd have to ask CAS or some such. But personally I think the current system where one has to drop speculative flares while in an area that could have enemy SAMs in works quite well

well i was laying my eye on helicopters especially; planes can keep the manual way. Because especially in Helicopters the Flares are deployed automatically.

Hmm would be an idea, although do like the method now.

I would like to have something like that yes, although manual flare deployment must still be possible.

But i think such things are hardcoded.

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
