The problem is that you are not the only chopper. The AA missile radius is below 350 m. That is just a walk towards a flag. After you flare from flag C and go back towards flag A, even if there is a guy there, he cannot aim at you because there flares are not just flares anymore. You cannot lock on a target that just flare for like 4-5 seconds, regardless of where the flares are, and they may be behind a building. Meaning, they are not real flares.
With 128 players, dealing with tanks, choppers and people at the same time is really hard.
But I do think the flare refill should be faster by about 3 seconds. Likewise, the AA lock on distance should be higher, 450-500 m.
