[ExeTick]

seems to happen on random times so maybe some python problem?

i had this crop up once on saaremaa. didn't get the chance to land back at carrier to try to troubleshoot it. has anyone tried to yet?

probably related, someone dropped all 60 flares in one spill yesterday. seems like a faulty connection, check the cannon plugs!

Had this happen with the kiowa on kokan.

[fillsson]

I've had this happen with the Lynx on Dragon Fly.

has anyone tried swapping in another pilot to see if it sticks yet?

[ExeTick]

yes we have tried almost everything. except for destroying it. sometimes when we die and cobra respawn it is still bugged..

damn. well that leaves me wondering what caused one pilot to spill all of his flares at once and if they were working afterwards. assuming it logged his panicked flare spamming until something gave...

Maybe dev's could implement another flares system?
Like, 6x flares in mag, and 10x mags, with 0.1 reload time. Afaik now we have this bug due to 1 mag of flares which is not reloading sometimes.

good thinking!

[atom9[CH]]

can you return to the old flares? Plz! with flare bug you play like vanilla and thats not the way to play pr

[ExeTick]

happend on beirut havoc now.

noticed when we had 24 flares we rearmed but it went down from 24 when I started to drop flares.
