Whatever the maximum height is that a hand-fired Flare begins to work , so too should that also be the minimum height from where a plane-fired Flare begins to work .
This way , one can drop a Plane Flare from whatever altitude they like , but it’ll only start working once it falls to X altitude .
By declaring this Altitude activation similarity , perhaps then both the longevity and the scope of coverage of both types could be more fairly paired .
Plane Flares should also be as easily spotted as hand-Flares are so that they can both suffer their same rate of removal frequencies .
