Cyclic Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 The Weapon Load out Screen shows the option to load chaff/flare combinations however I dont seem to be able to get chaff pumping when in game. Does this actually work or is it a GUI implimentation for future SIMS. Unfortunately under its current state we cant use ground clutter to mask from radar guided SAMS and more than often in the missions I get to play I will pop up on a ridge only to see a vapor trail come tearing up at me out of a valley and I think the old chaff might just save the day on some of those occasions. :pilotfly:
GGTharos Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 It is for future implementation, and also the Ka-50 doesn't carry any. Put an actual hill between you and that SAM or ...perhaps just some APC shooting an ATGM at you? ;) Flares work nicely against IR guided SAMs as well.

Cyclic Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Thats what I thought. Thanks for the clarification. I will cease to use Radar Guided/Tracking systems in all future missions me and the team build as they are a little too good to be realistic. GGTharos-yes the Flare deployment and evasion from IR guided systems in BS combat is done very well indeed. An no those are not TOW launches coming at me they are HAWK and Rapier because I built the missions :-)
