0006496: Timed flares have extremly low effectivness vs Manpads
Timed flares are almost completely useless vs Stinger and Iglas. The chance of them deflecting a stinger or igla launch seems to be below 10%. They also do not prevent locking of the target aircraft or abort the lock before firing. Why would they be used IRL if they are completely useless?
Shoot at aircraft or heli dropping timed flares
No tags attached.

I agree. Timed CM Drop is useless against MANPADS. Its problem involved lower survivability of pilot and aircraft. Pilots are mostly use Continuous CM Drop unavoidable for their survivablility.
