After extensive testing with many mid to long range optics, there is a complete lack of consistency or predictability for this weapon. Definite +1

This definitely needs to be looked at. Many times the use of flares could add great atmosphere and interest to missions but their total lack of practical value ends up keeping me from using them.

Recently I began playing with blastcore, which has excellent flares, and it is so nice to be able to use a gameplay element as you would expect to be able to. Opens up so many great possibilities and helps get away from the obligatory use of night vision in low light situations.

Please Bohemia, take a second look at this.
