The option for a few flares in the gv loadouts would be cool...make spotting those things from the air much easier...  :t

Yes, I agree.  We should have flares, since it's almost impossible to mark the enemy with smoke rounds.  The reason for that is that all smoke is the same.  It would be nice to have green flares for your guys, and red flares for the enemy.

We should also be able to drop them from planes, for target marking.  You could have say... a 50lb smoke bomblet, and you could carry those on fighter-attack planes.

+1!  :aok

Good thinking, Penguin. Don't think the device need exceed 20 lb in weight though.

Where there ever rocket flares? That would be nice, hit the ground and illuminate the impact area for say, 15 seconds.

I know in Vietnam they used smoke rockets to mark targets for incoming fighter/bombers, but I don't know if they used them in WW2.
