In singleplayer, my flares dont work at all..I can release all flares and the enemies rockets will still hit me...but when I shoot at them they release a few and my rockets goes LOLWUT and goes after the flares.

It's kinda sad how you never get to fly anything in SP...in my case...



(P.S Game randomly crashes ingame....)

Bot's see through flares. BF2 thingy

Its not that they see through flares, its just their simple AI, i'll explain.

because of the simple AI, they didnt include "Human Delay" in actions and stuff, so when a bot has a lock on you he fires at 0.001 Seconds from the time he got the lock on you so the missles will hit you no matter what (Remember when being trained in AA They always say to shoot as fast as possible when you get the lock on? thats the reason)

and the same goes the other way - when you lock on them, 0.001 from the time they got the "LOCKED ON" sound the pop flares and your missles goes for nothing.

its because of the AI system and i dont think there's something to do about it.

about the being targeted and shot down i got only one tip for you - Pop Flares BEFORE Being locked on.
meaning that when you go for the dive and you get to the hot zone start popping flares all the way, you got plenty. pop flares before, during, and after the bombing and then go to re arm - you'll go to re arm anyway after the bomb so it doenst realy matter on conserving flares.

about taking out Enemy Aircrafts i realy dont think anything will do except for a 50cal or a VADS or any other unguided weapon, since the heat seeking missles just wont cut it.

hope i helped.

Popping flares as a precation won't help. Tested thing, bot's don't care about flares. It's a bit similar that they see through smoke
