As we are getting a newer Suite, don't know which year it is supposed to be, but I've heard A-10s having the smaller flares and being able to load up to 480 flares circa 2010/2011ish ? Might have to re-check my source, but is this something which is looked at ?

I don’t think it’s a training flare. It’s the same smaller flare that means the Hornet should carry 60 flares instead of the 30 it was originally designed for.

 

The same smaller flare that the DCS Viper apparently (a bit inexplicably) already has, since it has 60 + 60 chaff and flares. Go figure.

Ye, not training... the same thing as the Hornet smaller flares. Brings up the total to 480

What would the double ones mean ?

 

What's useless, if you can get the more of the same effectiveness.... If you know something more than us, the common folk, share it...

Modern flares tend to be spectral and/or propelled, they're a lot more than just a burning blob of hot stuff. This is why you'll see far fewer flares on jets of all types these days.

 

 

Of course flare (or chaff) types are not simulated in DCS at present so until/unless they are, there's no in game benefit. We can just hope that one day the modelling of expendable countermeasures will be improved.

Flare and chaff buckets not correct

 

Chaff only dispenses from the right wingtip and the left centerline buckets. Flares only dispense from Right centerline buckets. nothing comes out of the left wing buckets.

Noticed the same with the OG A10C after today’s update
