They just last too long, it makes arty easier too hit. I cannot reposition until 35s later.

The recon planes are fairer because they dont linger in the area

It breaks the whole true sight and scouting mechanics.

Coming from 2v2, i guess in 1v1 is even worse map hack

so in the title you posed a question. i dont think it requires an answer.

you dont, flares have been fun (others would probably call them a pain in the ass) since they have been introduced to the game

good thing they are mostly bound to (almost) dead commanders and soviets

Tiger ace has flares? spearhead, crew repair, blitzkrieg


Ukf: Early Warning (Meta doc), Crocodile (dead), Field Recovery (dead)

USF: Advanced Infantry Equipment (dead)

OKW: artillery flares (dead), panzerfusiliers (meta), early warning (almost dead)

Soviet: everything



OKWs artillery flare is the real pain since it can be called in everywhere

Pretty sure Rifle Company is mildly meta these days, so some flares on USF infantry. But yea, infantry/mortar/emplacement flares are a BIG difference from off-map flares, and unit-based flares can have their range tuned accordingly.
