Use Your Flares for Project Wingman

Use Your Flares

One of the best ways to defend your plane in Project Wingman is to use your flares to confuse the tracking of missiles fired at you. Whenever you see a yellow triangle appear on your HUD it indicates where an enemy missile is coming from. All you simply have to do to make the missile it represents disappear is drop your flares. You have unlimited flares, so there is no need to worry about running out of them.

What you need to take into consideration though is that flares have a five-second cooldown timer. When you reach the later more difficult levels of Project Wingman you will should wait until you have multiple missile indicators on your HUD before dropping your flares. If your flares are on cooldown, and you are targeted by multiple missile you will need to go full throttle and turn hard in order to make them break lock and miss.
