Re: Flare gun!
In pretty much all thous cases, flares most likely = illumination shot from a mortar, since they are basically big ass flares, and not a flare from a flare gun? Only possibly The battle for Mount Harriet ref might be but most likely its from a small mortar they had with them.

Re: Flare gun!
Well we can't tell for sure, but flare guns are used in all wars most of the time, wouldn't surprise me if they saw some use in the Falklands too. Maybe make them on a limited kit? Say sniper, specialist, marksman kit?

Re: Flare gun!
I've never heard of a flare gun being used to illuminant the battle field myself. Will see what the MAs think but first I would like to see what FH2 has done.

Re: Flare gun!
Ok, so maybe flare guns are not so realistic, but the illuminant shots seems pretty badass.

Czech military white illuminating parachute flare. - YouTube
Maybe make this a mortar feature? "Requesting illuminating rounds fire mission" Haven't they already used this in ww2? *remembering a night scene of "Letters from Iwo Jimo* |
