Hey guys, hope you all are enjoying v1.0.
Here's a little sneak peek on one of the new things we have in the works.
Tim's doing up a wonderful 'generic' flare gun to be used by both unconventional and conventional forces for illumination and signalling. The texture, audio, kit allocation and illumination effect are still being worked on.

40mm UGLs will also tout a new parachute flare round, which will function as a means for a squad to illuminate a large area for up to under a minute, allowing the squad to more effectively fight under low light conditions.
By Tim as well (a real sport, considering this next model isn't really a test of his hi-poly modelling skills..), is the M17A1 Flare Launcher (colloquially referred to as the Pop Flare), which is a one-shot self-contained flare launcher, fired by slamming the bottom of the launcher.

A 2D sketch mock, planning the animation for the Pop Flare.
Look forward to playing with these toys in a future patch!

Militaries atleast use flares that do not ignite the second they leave the barrel, this would be borderline suicidal because it would give away your position.
The flares ignite about 5 seconds after they leave the barrel and they do not last that long, usually they're anywhere between 7-15 seconds max (a pistol fired flare) a mortar fired illumination round lasts up to 45 seconds usually.
But great work nonthelessPosted 2013-09-02 at 16:00 by Hulabi -

I hated these things in the army, always messing up my eye adaptation when in the receiving end.
Might as well bring night vision back if you're going to introduce more low light fighting.Posted 2013-09-02 at 16:47 by splatters -
I don't see this working well. Damn good job Chuc though.
This is gonna be spammed constantly, I know it as a fact. Plus, IRL... does soldiers actually have flare guns? no,.Posted 2013-09-02 at 17:30 by matty1053 -

AWESOME Just a some feed back! I find it weird in some instances that a squad leader would want to use a flare gun :l I do indeed like the Hand held flares
Flare gun should be Anti personnel Kit, Pilot kit, spotter kit and Heavy MG kit
The Crewman kit should have the placable road flares or pop flares as well as the Engineer kitPosted 2013-09-02 at 17:51 by Redamare

Can soviet flares be modeled? (mostly just a tube+some labels that are easy to add)
