Flashes

[Rolfski]

Their handling is way too troublesome to make them tactical useful imo. Which is a pity because I would love to see this vehicle become more meaningful in the game besides a disposable A to B transporter

I've found them useful for getting me right next to enemy Sundies to suicide bomb with AT mines.

Also, I'm just waiting for the day when someone recreates (is that even the right word?) the bicycle jump scene from ET with a bunch of Flashes over a canyon on Indar at night. That would be golden.

Yes, 2 c4 on the front and I'll tell you this, Getting it to destroy what you are aiming it at is really iffy, the flash has to be right up against it or under it for it to work, a little bit away or to the side and it does nothing to it.

Sad part is, the grenade launcher it resmembles IRL fires high velocity rounds. Their trajectory is fairly flat and has great range. But the fury rounds resemble what a grenade round looks like coming out of an infantry mounted GL like the m203. Notice in the vid of the mk19 below, you can't even see the grenades in the air.

Well if the fury behaved like the mk19 everyone would be using flashes as psuedo tanks. I reckon if the fury had a flatter projectile path it would be all grouse in my opinion.


Bugger it replace the front of the flash with rocket pods.

Anyone tried it?

Tried it, works very very great. Not only when your in an squad and you want to see where every single infiltrator and camper is, its also great for when im playing infil myself and i want something to watch my back while im sniping.

Its great utility to use which makes it more then a transport vehicle

I use the flash to get form A to B in a short time if a sunderer is at another near by facility.
I have a basilisk on mine.
I have added a mine guard to mine.
I also have turbo boost which is mainly for fun and out running allies on other flashes for a laugh.
The turbo boost kind of sounds like chewbacca.
