#Flares should be able to spot people after the new spotting mechanics are implemented

Similar to the mechanics present in battlefield 1, I think flares should have a use besides being an eyesore in night maps, maybe walking within the radius where a flare is present you get spotted as an example?

I would like to see other throwables besides frags have a place in the game and I think this can make flares actually viable to use.

IF they do that, they should be a 2 second spot like the autospotter

I like the idea tho

Thats fine honestly, would be good on CQC maps where u can throw it around a corner and see how many people are present

#

or just being able to spam it on capture points

Should smoke disable flare auto taggin feature

#

Since it would make smoke very not good

ngl I really like this one, brings back BF1 memories

#

It would actually give a reason for recon to play obj

I often use flares to highlight enemy locations to get them killed by teammates. This tactic works great and does not need a buff

right?

If u want to highlight enemies simply ping them

If you throw a flare at an enemy, you should not be able to know his precise location

#

And why not

#

If it's a small radius and he can leave this radius easily, what's the issue

or just shoot it to destroy it or something

#

Also what u said is literally a contradiction

#

U know hes there

#

Throw a flare at an enemy

#

u know hes there

#

whats the point of the flare?

#

The flare is to draw attention from all players to it, hence the enemy is in more danger next to the flare

keen drum
#

Yes and they can avoid it by walking away or by destroying it

#

Maybe teammates can see the ping, but you should not be able to see the ping because flares are not like spotting drones, used to peek corners.

#

why would teammates be able to see the ping but not the person throwing the flare?

cobalt blaze
#

Because it’s like a reverse smoke grenade. Smokes don’t prevent you from spotting the enemy inside it and flares don’t highlight them for you

#

You know what

It’s an interesting idea. Would the ping last for the duration the player remained within the flare radius?

#

whatever oki would think would be a good idea ig if he decides to do this

This game is going to turn into shoot the dorito like some older Battlefield games if not careful.

wheres my co-pilot should be able to spot people with a camera suggestion 😦

#

and ngl this seems like too much? people will just be throwing flares at the most popular points for those easy spots

searchlight should auto spot at night
