F/A-18C Combat Certification Missions Have Fewer Flares with Newest Open Beta

[tanr]

With the newest DCS Open Beta 2.5.6.57264 (Steam), the number of flares for most of the F/A-18C missions (such as the combat certification missions for IR Missiles) has been greatly reduced, down to 14.

 

Per other comments from ED, the plan had been to increase, not decrease, the number of flares for the Hornet, so this seems to be a mistake?

 

Currently if will be hard to successfully complete a number of the missions with such a small number of flares.

Still only 14 flares for the missions in Open Beta 2.5.6.57530.

Still only 14 flares for missions (and Instant Action) in Open Beta 2.5.6.57949.

Still only 14 flares for missions (like Sidewinder Practice) and instant action in Open Beta 2.5.6.58125.

 

EDIT: Should I post this in the Bugs forum instead?
