7 years agoWell, you actually popped the flare button on the controller, smoke is on cool-down looking at the video. @Jan_Atreides 🙂

- Janas-Aurora7 years agoNew Adventurer@EA_Atic It happens quite quickly, but if you pause the video at the start you'll see that I have exactly 8 flares, and the cooldown is just finishing. At just about one second in, notice that when you see that flare launch, the counter is still 8 flares, and the cooldown does *not* activate until just a moment later, when I shoot the flare from the main cannon toward 153* on the map's compass.
Two flares are launched in a short amount of time, and if you look at the cooldown once you have the flares equipped, this shouldn't even be possible. That very first flare at around one second was activated by tapping the smoke button. I'll get some more video of this phenomena soon if I can. - Janas-Aurora7 years agoNew Adventurer@EA_Atic Here we are. I managed to reproduce it. I hope this is clear in the video. Upon further review it seems the flare with this bug actually launches not from the turret but from the hull. And it seems to shoot straight out.

- The first launches at 00:12, while I still have the 20mm autocannons equipped, so it shouldn't be possible to fire the official flares.
- Second one is launched at 00:34, and I raised my cannons up so we can be sure it's not following the trajectory of those but from the hull. Still have the main autocannons equipped.
- At 00:54 I equip the cannon-flares and tap the smoke button first. It launches a third flare and then I launch the proper flare from the barrel.
- A fourth launched at 1:27, main guns still equipped.
- The fifth and final launch is at 1:42, followed by a standard flare.
What I have noticed is that it seems these five 'extra', hull-launched flares can't be replenished via reload. They seem to be some sort of held-over glitch that are stocked to five per spawn of the tank.- EA_Atic7 years ago

Hey, @Jan_Atreides Thanks for the detailed breakdown!
You can clearly see it on the second video. 🙂/Atic
