I think, such general armament options aren't as critical as planes (regarding 1C and CoD).

Sorry for the quote, but I am really puzlled about which planes have flares on 4.101.

But if you are really on it, I may ask for them to be visible from far up on clear skyes. Something around 10000m perhaps... Normal lights and fires on il2 don't show that far away. The 10000 mark on the assumption that I must see the flares not only directly from above, but at least from a 45º position at 7000m.

Now, also on flares, they were used as formations signaling, better understood than any radio chatter. They were fired from the cockpit with a flare hand gun. This would be far more apropriate than people firing smoke, or using landing lights on full daylight as a signaling method. Flares are limited on availability as ammunition, and hangs around for a while suspendend on parachutes before flaming out.
