I dont think a flare should be able to do that let me know ur opinion.
It is a small explosion nonetheless and it direct hit you in a tank with no armour. Bad luck what else can I say.

It wasn’t a flare, but a direct artillery hit on your light tank.
The smoke before the main artillery is what hit and destroyed him.
Just really bad luck, i think it damaged his missiles and made them explode.

@Bakalandiagunner Do you have a link to the server replay?

You are right, it’s not hot enough.
2,000°F and 3,600°F (1,100°C to 2,000°C)
It’s more than hot enough to kill your tank.

i mean… a flare fired by a 152mm artillery shell probably would break a BMP

Ah yes, a large artillery shell shouldn’t deal damage. Totally accurate.
