Shepski Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The Flares are only visible to the client operating the unit and not to other players online. Using an M1A1 tank I launched several flares, green, white, and red and the other players online could not see them. Other players can see the JTAC smoke but not the flares.

kolo Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 The Flares are only visible to the client operating the unit and not to other players online. Using an M1A1 tank I launched several flares, green, white, and red and the other players online could not see them. Other players can see the JTAC smoke but not the flares. Yes, and try set many flares around: "b" , rotate full circle and click 123123123 as fast as possible. My client would hang after 10-15 sec. And now think what would be occurred with other players in case players start look on this green-red-orange field ? For example - some su-25 try attack you tank. Try set as many flares as you can. If pilot use direct targeting, it's probably can crash while would look on such firework. I think that flares it's not real object , because it's must be see only for one player. Or game must have limit flares per sec per player.
Shepski Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 You are thinking of it as a cheat? I would be using it to mark myself as a friendly when CAS units are in the area attacking targets in close proximity to my position. I popped green flares online thinking the player A-10s could see me as I attacked the same targets they were working on. For example - some su-25 try attack you tank. Try set as many flares as you can. If pilot use direct targeting, it's probably can crash while would look on such firework.

kolo Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 You are thinking of it as a cheat? . No, I am not, but I fear that someone would be DoS-ed my server such way. If only flares will be unlimited.
