Idea for new gadget!

Hello, I only play recon so I don’t have the scope of how this might change anything, however, wouldn’t it be cool if there’s a flare gun gadget for engineer or something that you could fire from a transport helicopter’s 4/5 seat that deterred missiles that locked onto you?  I’m thinking class specific and this might bring more viability toward transport helicopters, but also level the playing field against lock on spam for any vehicle.

essentially, a handheld countermeasure gadget flare gun for the soldier.

I think the skill ceiling on intercepting deadly missiles by leading your flare gun shot from a helicopter passenger seat, prone on a tank, or even just running around on the ground could be super fun and add a different dynamic. 

I feel like people are comfortable enough know to know the aircraft spawn timers and my team’s aircrafts are camped in many games by really good jet pilots. This could help extend aerial battles instead of getting locked on multiple times and blown out of the sky instantaneously by soldiers, aircraft’s, or tanks. 

what are everyone’s thoughts?
