flare droping more realitic on chopers

[bigpimp83]

i was watching some videos on youtube of some chopers and they way they drop flares it drops them 2 at a time on each side. YouTube - Mi-24 Real Fight (Tajikistan)
idk maybe its just the russian helicopters that do that it would be nice to see if any one familiar with the american chopers could confirm or deny that they do that. so my sugestion s make the chopers drop flares abit more realisicly.

It depends on where the flare launcher is. So it no. It really does not really matter. Flares are flares.

You know , When piloting such air vehicles , you have the option of dropping chaff/flares at a different rate / quantity by the pilots choice , how do I know? I've read the ah-1w manual then played some realistic combat flight simulators but I could be wrong.

look at m of number 4

YESSS!!! All PR AIR related vehicles including Jets, choppers and Anti-air NEED A HUGE HUGE HUGE REVAMP! Everything from physics to features. One of the largest concern is the AA missile, it is way too powerful. Last night i was killed by a British AAV on Qinling when I was in a TANK!!!! He fired 3 or 4 missiles and I was dead.

If a tank dies that fast, how can choppers survive? Especially with those flares that CHASE you down (stupid physics), and stupid air burst missiles that do 360 degrees damage!!!

/Rant

Sorry if I offended any Devs, but that is really how I feel sometimes when I'm flying a chopper or jet in PR.

You do realize that an AA missile is guaranteed to hit over 75% of the time.. Plus idk how you died from an british aav lmfao...The starstreak or whatever the name of the missile for the british aav is an AA/AT missile , its pretty beaSTLY but still i dont think you should of died from it. Your in a tank. The flares don't chase you down , they spread around the chopper , unless your going straight towards your own flare

and the guy was saying that flares should be dropped in 2 , nothing about AA being overpowered

AA missiles are fine. Helicopters need a bit of a boost. But to be honest, they need to fly low. People obsess with being up high, makes you easy to spot for everyone on the map.

How the hell did you manage to get killed by a Stormer in a tank?


The rocket are extremely inaccurate when firing without a lock-on and it takes one SABOT to kill it.

Don't blame the AAs for this

In the video, there were many more flares, thats now ingame.

Ever heard of shrapnel? A missile doesn't need to hit you to do damage, it just needs to be close enough that the fragments from the warhead smash into you.
