Are the flares fixed ???

Anyone knows yet if the flares are finally fixed ? Kind of tirrd of being shot down WHILE the flares are going off... and the fact that they don't last long enough (people can lock onto you about 1 second before the flare ends, as opposed to BF2042 you had about an extra 1 to 1.5 second delay after the flares stopped going off before people could lock onto you...).

I bet jet controls with a joystick (a real one, not a controller) are still busted but if they fix the damn flares choppers will be much more fun to play !
