I would like to represent the problem of Anti air missiles bouncing off flares and hitting friendly air assets. It has happened to me multiple times but I shall talk about the most recent encounter with this issue. I was playing on Khamysiah, as a MEC pilot, I was flying the Su-22 Fitter trying to get an enemy F-15 Strike Eagle off of my friendly Mig-29 Fulcrum. I proceeded to lock the enemy F-15 I fired as I was perpendicular to the plane ( a shot that is very hard for a missile to hit I know). As I fired my missile it bounced off of the counter measures the F-15 deployed, It flew 90 degrees off my hard point and tracked my friendly as he flew vertically upwards and killed him. I feel like the missile if it is not going to track the enemy should at least track the flare it deploys and hit it, rather than redirecting at all.
PS. I have also seen missiles bounce of enemy flares and hit friendly choppers in main with out a lock warning.
