Too little flares...

[sincerity]

Playing PW, it's comfortable having unlimited flares. Can't say the same with AC7.

Any (standalone) mods that improve the flares count? Or at least, give me more than, whatever amount each aircraft has?

Already am doing that. Still likes having more than 3 flares though.

Maybe SKIES REBALANCED, but this mod change aircraft stats

PW throws enough missiles at you to justify the unlimited flares. AC7 is the first mainline game in the series to even have flares, because amount of missiles thrown at you is always manageable, and flares are a resource to be used when you actively don't want to evade. If you want more flares - get a worse plane, IIRC some of those can have 4 or 5.

Infinite flares in PW are incredibly overpowered and break the game. It's good that they're limited in AC7.

Interesting. Never knew older AC games don't have flares. I guess I'll spend more time evading, then.

I don't know how meta works in AC7 (yet). But back in old days, we don't have flares but missile jammer pod that eats the special weapon slot.

Flares were introduced 1st time on ACZero where certain named enemies using it unlimited, under specific time cooldown. Not available for player, still.

Flares started appearing in AC5, specifically Yuke B-2s and some aces ("Zipang" being the most notable one).

Ah mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Zipang. If you don't know what to do, killing it will be impossible because the mission will end faster than it's should be until you fulfilled specific parameter. (Check Acepedia for details of the mission)

Although changing plane is possible via Free Mission.
