Summarize your bug Currently, the British AA tank will launch a flare when you activate the smokescreen button. It might be only with a specific loadout selected in the unlock tree, but it's definitely happened on many occasions for me.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? On the PS4 version, with the British AA tank, choose the unlock tree that will grant the three guns, the smokescreen, quick repair, and the flares. Activate the smokescreen at any time, and the tank will auto-launch a flare at the ground in front of it.
What happens when the bug occurs? When using the smokescreen, a flare is launched simultaneously, without selecting or activating the actual flare gadget.
What should be happening instead? The smokescreen alone should be activated.
I've noticed that with a particular loadout, on the PS4 client, (v1.16), the British AA tank will launch a flare from the front of the tank when you activate the smoke screen. Of course, the only thing happening should be the launching of the smoke screen. Especially as the flare is/can be a separate item entirely.
I've captured it in video. At the very first second, 00:01, I tap the smokescreen button. Even though the smokescreen itself is in cooldown/reload because it was used earlier, I am able to tap the button and launch that bug flare. A second or so later, I use my actual equipped flare as you can see. It couldn't have been the equipped flare because that was still in cooldown from the overheat function it has. https://puu.sh/DzJ0O.mp4
