Due to lost of connection had to replay a base medium mission, the tanks and Fire birds both use flares to diverts the auto multi rockets this is the first time I come across this defense, normally this weapon takes out the tanks with ease, I usually use 3 or 4 depending on how many tanks there are, last game did work so base was destroyed.
Can you share a video of this defensive action of the tanks and firebirds?
Never seen that, nor read about that.
Think the “torches” on tanks might be the bugged mines but I’ve also seen something on some firebirds that really look like torches.
Can’t remember if it’s Firebird rivals or Spetznas class firebirds that drop the torches? But dismissed it as part of the Vulture bug that turned them into easy prey because it came after the same patch that gimped our Vultures.

Sorry don’t have a recording of it, as I wasn’t expecting it
Best description is it like chap that aircraft use to diverts rocket fired at them, but this more like ball of fireworks surrounding it.
Just a few minutes ago I had an apoc hunter… you know, their grenade launcher is bugged and doesn’t Impact/doesn’t do damage… But even after destroying it two more salvos started and looked like these flares/chaffs.
What kind of machines did you fight against, when it occured? Maybe it was just the known bugged weapons of some specific machine types and classes?
Yeah i hate that the tank and hunter only shoot flares.
Firebird, it fist time I had a firebird on a our home mission on medium setting wtth tanks hunter and runners. Played one two days ago on hard and it was just Tank must have 9 or more had 3 on each attack others than the first one and the usual Hunter Runner Ticks
