A decent 2vs2 Soviet player that know how to use mortar flare = Rip Axis: Flare is not easy to notice like recon plane when you are in the heat of combat, a Katchusa or ISU can make short work of anything spotted by flare

I really wish that Ostheer can fire flare non-doctrine like Sov counter parts too ( Soviet Sniper + Mortar flare = non doctrine )
