Anti-Air missiles STILL hit through flares after update 1.3.3.0

The patch notes in Update 1.3.3.0 mentioned the following fix:

  • Missile lock-ons no longer continue incorrectly against vehicles using, or positioned within, lock-on countermeasures.

This reads to me as a fix for the long standing bug, since even before the game launched, that AA missiles will hit your vehicle after you have deployed countermeasures (flares).

However, as of today, July 1st, after update 1.3.3.0 has released, the bug is still present in the game as if nothing happened. 

This bug will be able to sing it's first happy birthday if it takes just a little longer to fix...

  • Not a bug.

    You flew into close range with the enemy and were far too slow to use your flares. The missile had already tracked and was about to hit you by the time you started to drop flares.

    Flares aren't magic shield immunity.

    Next time when you are engaged by anti-air, use the flares before they fire and fly away. Or go below radar.
