Behaviors: Never: Chaff and Flares will not be used in any circumstances. Against Fired Missile: AI will only deploy chaff and flare if an incoming enemy missile is detected. Flying in Sam WEZ: AI will release chaff and/or flares as a preventative measure when inside a known enemy SAM threat zone or within weapons range of a known enemy aircraft armed with IR-homing missile. Default Setting. When flying near enemies: N/A. See note. | ||

| Notes: | WHEN_FLYING_NEAR_ENEMIES: This option is apparently not available for some reason within the mission editor. I don't know if it is actually functional or not. I need to investigate. -Grimes
