  • all UGL flares have a 60s lifespan now
  • handheld signals and 20mm flares have smaller flare sizes

flares were extinguishing too fast before to have a real use, they should be more useful now.

It appears that you mistakenly looked at howitzer flare shells. I found this for 40mm shells that say they burn for around 40 seconds. I could also be mistaken though
