Flares in career mode..


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok. No briefing or anything has ever told me what colors mean what. Im sure IRL theyd change them daily or per op but im game just now say my flight lead (AI) shot green, then red. We.re still 50km from the strafing attack and I dont see any enemy planes nor has anyone said anything on the radio.

Or sometimes at airfields. Its obvious sometimes - bombers flying over and flares get shot as you get take off permission.

Does it mean anything at all? Or only in MP if you use it as a signal with others?

PS if I magically someone shot an enemy pilot with my personal weapon from a plane will it actually kill em? Is there a "golden bb" in IL2 like theoretically there could be IRL?

This topic has been covered yet. Maybe do a search ?

Sure I could.  I guess you could also have just told me the answer too but thanks

Id also add searching was useless.  So again Id like this discussed.

If you search you.ll see someone posted light signals not flare signals. Second the flares changed daily IRL. In the game I notice a definite pattern and theyre shot.

So there *must* be reasoning behind it.  Why for example do some units shoot a flare when you fly nearby. What do the flares mean in game?  Or are they pointless except for MP and immersion

I just was saying that AFAIK, there's a thread answering your questions somewhere in this forum.

Literally the second result on searching for "Flares"

Forgive me but the only 'explanation' in that thread was a table of signal light meanings taken from somewhere else and presumed to have some relevance to flares in BoX which I don't believe it does.

Hi all,

 

Rule 9. Use already open topics.
