Forum:Flares in BC2 1.2

There seem to be a bit of a discord concerning countermeasures for helicopters in the current version of BC2 on the pc. All Sources I have seen claim that flares exist in the current version of the game (1.2). However, I have never seen anyone using them, neither do I know anyone who has seen anyone using flares or used them himself and I myself have found no way to deploy flares in either the Apache or the Mi28. I equiped the Smoke Countermeasures Package, tried it in a tank, it worked, walked to a chopper and it didn't work. Not by pressing mousebutton 2, X or any other button I could think of.

That leading to the suggestion that flares do not exist in the game right now.

Is that correct? If it isn't, tell me how to do it instead of refering to some source I allready know. Or do flares exist in the console versions of the game? - If I am correct I wil edit the concerning articles.
