Running over Infantry needs to cause damage to flash and harrasser.

    Fix flashes in three easy steps:
    1. Flashes die in MAX collisions.
    2. Make Wraith Cloak occupy the weapon slot
    3. Make running over an infantry slow the flash for three seconds and cause the "got hit" cloak shimmer.
    At the moment, flashes, and wraith flashes in particular, are extremely cheap, easy to use, and force a hugely disproportionate response on the enemy team to deal with effectively. And to those of you who say "drop AV mines", the environments that wraith flashes work best in also mean that you are very likely to kill a handful of friendlies if you use AV mines.
    Also, 150 certs being able to insta-kill 450 certs with no risk or consequence is just bad design. At least C4 fairies are exposed to enemy fire by their actions.

    JDCollie=VX9=, you forgot something:

    4. remove the Flash from the game because you succesfully made it much more useless

    I admit that they can be quite annoying but they do not really have any signifficant impact on any fight.

    Come on guys, from ALL your deaths in this game: how many of them were caused by a cloak flash? Just compare that to the number caused by ESF or LMG or SMG or knife or suicide and you will see that even suicide seems OP compared to the "threat"of a flash...

    They would still be efficient for suicide runs. While beeing less annoying and cheesy against packs of infantry on open grounds.

    Harassers killing infantry at high speed is fair enough but should only damage MAX's.
    Flash's killing infantry is a total joke. Try to visualise an armoured, shielded super soldier being hit and killed by a quad bike.
    Aside from being blatantly stupid, getting road kills in a wraith flash is a super lame play style and needs to go.

    What I find strange is anytime I drive within 5 feet of an ally they die but sometimes I have to run over a TR or NC, back over them and then run over them again for them to die. Meanwhile some poor BR5 VS is running near me with a repair gun and dies from the wind of my vehicle going by.

    Its even worse with aircraft running people on biolab pads. That should be an instant aircraft destruction.
