Have you tried waiting for it to rearm again after it shows the true value of flares? Just wondering if it's a random glitch that can be fixed in game by waiting longer or it's the good old flare bug again.

Yes, I did. And after a reset all the flares, I recharged again. But the value indicates the number of 42, and drop the flare I could not because there was a sound as if they are not

Its a known issue since 1.0 but no one knows the cause. Its a very rare bug but when it happens its really frustrating especially if you are in a CAS chopper. Devs are still trying to figure out a fix for this, but until then you will have to pray that you dont encounter it too often.

Please :roll: At least this way flarebug will be fixed with every flare reload.

The flarebug comes down to flare counter and flare launcher getting unlinked. Why it is getting unlinked is a mystery. Same things happens from time to time to maglinked MGs or Marskman. Changing the fire mode or giving it magazines wont help.

It only happens if your flare count reaches 0 :) try to avoid that
