Lock-On Missiles Ignore Flares
There is currently a major issue with lock-on missiles ignoring flares.
Right now, it feels like there is roughly a 30% chance for any lock-on missile, no matter if it’s from a MANAD, MAA, jet etc....

i have not seen he IGLA ignores flares around 70% of the time. i have not even seen it once yet it the discrimination says relock if you keep target and it doesn't do so from my test in the new patch of about 80 rocks and 300+ from before this patch if anything all anti air rockets from inftery have been nerfed to even less useful the made it even less reason to use anything but and rpg they nerfed the speed of the igla as well if you read the note only the starting speed been boosted so unless your close that wont even matter and lock takes for ever still
This is wrong. I dare you to spend more than 10 hours this week flying an air vehicle. I guarantee you will experience the bug. The IGLA will blatantly go through flares, if you haven’t seen this when using it I don’t know what to tell you - you’re either delusional or you want the IGLA to be bugged because you hate pilots.
I personally used it a tiny bit and got to experience the bug myself when I shot the IGLA at a heli and the heli clearly popped flares yet my IGLA hit.
The description says you can reacquire the target mid flight which means that once you lock, shoot and flares are completely dispensed and NO LONGER ACTIVE you can re-lock the target and the missile will find its way to the target (assuming the missile didn’t explode).
Lastly, the initial acceleration buff is a huge buff overall. There’s more maps with small airspace than there is with big airspace, this is a huge buff to every single map where there are helicopters that fly close to infantry.

brrtlol Hey, so I wanted to see if you could possibly capture a video of this happening, so I can pass it along. Something like this would have to be looked at from the studio side of things vs a troubleshooting step that could fix that. If there is an issue, they would be able to see it way better than going into the settings and making a few changes, etc,
It happened to me 4 times in one game and all I really do is fly in this game. Seems to be an issue when you’re relatively close to the person launching the missile. I’ll pop flares a solid 1-2 seconds before it’s supposed to reach me but it’ll go through. I’ll try and screen record this happening cause it’s almost guaranteed to happen every game especially on a map like golmud.
