Flares are insanely bad in BF6. For infantry, you can actually watch your missile track a flare from an ally source and it will miss the enemy.
For the point you raise that it hits anyways, I'll blame that on giving engies 5 rockets to just spam at everything. It's an insane amount of AA that air has to deal with. The jank means at many times, someone is getting screwed by a broken mechanic rather than enjoying the game.
Removing TOW from ground, minus the AA tank who should be the ONLY armor to get reliable AA, is a wide spread school of thought. Many people are unhappy with ground getting those stupid missiles. They're essentially a second tank shell, so if you don't take TOW you're practically screwed in any fight where the other guy does have them. It even allows the IFV to be a serious threat against an MBT, which is silly.
