[Suggestion] Give Flash's and roll cage & wider firing arch

    No and no. Giving flash a roll cage would turn it into Smart car, ew. It really wasn't designed as a weapon platform, we don't need a wider firing arc, just turn to face what you shoot. Cert handling for better turning.

    The reason why you don't use turbo anymore if if you go over anything more than a slight bump at over 90kmph, then you die when you land on the ground regardless of orientation.

    the reason I don't use turbo is it only gives me an extra 15kph for a few seconds and I lose a much more beneficial feature.

    I'd like the roll cage and the ability to deflect a few shots to the person w/ it as well as a backseat upgrade to allow a max to sit in the back. Think that would make things fun

    Rolling over to your death was always the worst thing about it for me..

    So you want:
    - wide firing arc
    - protection from rolling
    - better agility (turning, traction)
    - more driver visibility (looking around)

    What are you willing to give up in return?
    - higher resource cost?
    - speed?
    - weapon accuracy?


    Because to me it sounds like you want a faster, smaller, cheaper, more powerful, 2 seat cloakable sundy.

    Yeah I run with full surger chassis and I still slide around like a drunk moose on a frozen lake

    using the flash in its current state is like driving a ticking bomb :p you know it will go off at any moment hehe i support the roll cage idea...would had been nice to be able to survive hiting a tiny rock.

    I completely support the roll cage idea, as well as the expanded weapon aiming range (which I've asked for before).
    I've found that putting certs into the surger chassis improves handling, and with a little practice it becomes really quite predictable.

    I also want a rollcage for my most used vehicle, but the fire arch... I got used to it as it is.

    Bump, so this suggestion won't be forgotten.

    How about we give them a free-looking camera first? I just don't understand the extremely narrow field of view you get when driving a flash. I hate driving them, it's impossible to have total situational awareness on one, which becomes apparent when you do a lot of harasser driving and you notice a lot more using the free camera that it has.

    The Flash is top heavy for some reason. Lower it's center of gravity so it's more likely to stay upright and it'll be fine.

    Camera angles and vehicle physics in general are more important. That said, I don't see anything wrong with rollcage. I have no idea how it could fit a small quadbike though.

    I say replace the flash with this. (Random google search)

    Keep the general fragility of the flash, give it a little performance boost, and let it only have the basilisk and the kobalt.
    Rollcage, usable in battle, and worth the 100 resources. Second seat has ~100 degrees of firing out the right window. Still technically an ATV.
