If you're in a heli/jet and you get a lock on warning, does getting hit depend on you releasing flares before they fire a missle?
I've been hit and killed a couple of times even though I was flaring which suggests to me that whoever fired the missle, got a lock and fired before I released flares.
So do missles fired on a lock not react to flares? I thought the idea was to have a missle coming towards you put off by the flares.
I suppose you could argue that there are only about 6 flares released so the odds of the missle going for you is only a 1 in 7 chance even if what I believe is the case. But does anybody know for sure?
