  • whats up with flares

    ok first lemme tell u that I know how to use them and when

    so I hear the beeping sound and I release the flares, I get shot right after that

    it happends ALOT, the missiles go through my flares

    its not like Im droping them too early or too late, does anyone else get this?

    never had this problem before especially when dodging jets(while in chopper)

    I can tell that they dont work because when I release them they stay up for a couple of seconds but I still get shot while they are up there

    It is effective imo to release flares and then turn away from them. Dont sit behind them because all you are really doing is increasing your heat source
    and making the missles MORE effective.

      The Best Way ANY AA gun can kill a jet is to trick it.
      They Wait until you relance your flares and then hit you with the AA.
      That's how I and most people do it

        Noooo... I know what he means. Often times, I've been flying the J-10, and I've fired at another plane and the missile went right through the flares and hit the plane. Good for me, but it's troubling.

              OHHH are you talking about JETS? I thought you said choppers.

              K Jets, turn INTO the missle and flare out JUST as the missles come on your rear. 100% efficiency.

              btw, nothing is wrong with flares choose a less accusatory thread title next time lol

                I noticed flares in the chopper vs AA are useless. This is mainly when I'm close and trying to attack stationary AA. They turn, lock and I release flares while attempting to light 'em up. I get hit everytime, whether it's just 1 or both missiles. It's a bummer but I get them in the end.

                    If you are accurate (in the plain), its not too hard to lock on to the plane, and not the flares. You need to fly slow, and steady though.

                    I can shoot right through flares if I am lucky, and flying good. but if yoyu studder, it will lock on to the flares.

                    I think the flares need to work better. I agree with orginal poster.

                      The whole purpose of the flares is to bait the missile and create as much distance between flares and you as possible as the next maneuver.

                          Why do people immediate release the flares when a beep is heard.. I always watch behind me when and if there are missiles if not save the flares you'll have to wait 30 Secs. for them so use them wisely..

                          It may look stupid what said above but a lot of people don't use it..

                            As an avid AA gunner I can tell you that a lot of guys make the mistake of not knowing where the AA position are. They drop their flares and instead of buggin out, they turn right back into my sights. And if you are traveling left to right or right to left, you can actually outrun your flares pretty quickly.

                              no you arent. if they are hitting you like that you arent doing it right. take my advice and it will work 90% of the time.
