Didn't one of the flare upgrade designs feature rocket propelled flares? Why doesn't the burning tiger have that?

I think our only flares are rocket-propelled, but Cannalan Magic Missiles can do damage at the distances our flares reach, despite gravity-based flares being the modern standard...

It's all very fucky and vague, but the Tiger should be able to do what we've been trying to accomplish from the beginning

All flares are rocket propelled pretty much.  The design assumes that as such.

I agree we need countermeasures, I disagree that fighter radar is a retrofit level change for the lightnings so I think thats a bad idea, but I also have come around to the idea that my idea of a new fighter with radar and all countermeasures is way harder than just countermeasures and is therefore also stupid.  Here is my proposal:

UF-APS-44 "Burning Tiger" - This system amounts to general countermeasures aimed at degrading cannalan smart munitions, including balefire thermal guidance, hypothetical radar guidance, and proximity fuses.  It provides electrostatic and radio fuse jammers based on the fair fight intended to reduce the effectiveness of cannalan fused flak, meant to be adequately small to be usable by ground elements against fused artillery, installed in the frightenings electronic warfare bay, or on bombers.  It amounts to an improved version of the fair fight module.  Our flare dispensor systems are to be expanded into a higher capacity grid ala this:

and the flare compound is to be improved into a pyrotechnic compound developed to more closely match our jet engines.  This system is meant for use on our aircraft to take the place of our existing, crappy flare launchers.  Additionally, chaff launcehrs are to be developed more or less along the lines of the flare launchers but of a lower capacity (since the things tend to be bulkier) for deployment onboard aircraft to degrade radar tracking and to distract hypothetical radar guided aspect seeking missiles.

e: Also this is a thing to consider:


Quote from: Votes
UF-GCS-44 "Shield Maiden" Pattern IV (1) - QuakeIV

Your attempts at a device which detonates enemy ES proxy fuzes prematurely resulted in a device which blows all the electrical fuses in the plane and makes the entire airframe get warm, without much other effect.

Normal: 1
UF-APS-44 "Burning Tiger": The Burning Tiger is a decoy flare launcher which can be integrated easily into airframes without aerodynamic issues, so it can more readily be used on fighters, and drops a lot of flares quickly although the flares still aren't extremely attractive to missiles. [2 Oil]

Should only take another four or five tries to get something effective.

'Burning Engineer' Flare Correction
Charmingly named after what happened to the latest group of engineers who failed to do a competent job. Hopefully inspired by what happened to their predecessors the new flares burn a the same approximate temperate as our turbine engines. If the engineers want to get a bit of extra life insurance; chaff is also to be created.

Maybe we'll have a better revision than the last four times, and our fifth attempt at counter-measures will work.

I really don't like spending our entire turn on a purely defensive thing that will probably only serve to lessen the effectiveness of their missiles. But fuck, its our only option.
