Auto Credit Based on spefyjerbf's [Closed!] Weapon Design Challenge

Tactical System entrant into spefyjerbf's Weapon Design Challenge. Combined countermeasure/trap.

Pluck off of the hinge rotators and place on any application you can dream of. (note: recommend two banks of flares mounted on top of each side of vehicle.)

Two different temperature flares combined with highly reflective parachutes are designed to confuse both heat seeking and radar controlled missiles (disclaimer: Spinning Death Flares provide no protection from beam riding missiles).

As an added benefit, the parachutes slow the descent of flares potentially putting them (and their fuel supply) in your enemies flight path (disclaimer: flight path interference of Spinning Death Flares not tested).
To use:
1. Place on vehicle in desired configuration.
2. ensure vehicle is throttled up (note: Flares have been known to destroy own vehicle if stationary and launched verticaly).
3. Activate 5 through 7 for Flares or reconficure activation as desired.
(note: Spinning Death Flares will use onboard fuel supply when activated).

    Thanks! not sure if they'd actually take out another plane, and pretty sure missiles track for the cockpit, but fun anyway. @Weaverfish
