The Wraith Kamikaze Flash (or how to be extremely irritating with only 850 certs)

    What you will need:
    1. Two C4 on any class (700 certs) or three C4 with engineer and utility pouch 1 (200 additional certs)
    2. Wraith cloaking device on your flash (150 certs)
    3. Fury grenade launcher for the flash (1000 additional certs) or a volunteer to place the C4 and press the button

    Assembly Instructions:
    1. Spawn your wraith module equipped flash, preferably in a safe location as some setup time is required.
    2. Deploy C4 on the front of the flash. It takes 2 to destroy most vehicles, 3 for Sunderers, and 4 for Galaxies.
    3. Use an infantry terminal to switch back to infiltrator and mount up.
    Directions for Use:
    1. Seek out enemy ground vehicles (or air vehicles) to destroy. Unfortunately using the wraith module prevents you from also equipping scout radar, but then this wouldn't be as much fun now, would it?
    2. Priority should be given to vehicles that are influencing the battle most strongly in the enemy's favor, as well as vehicles that are stationary. Deployed Sunderers and Prowlers are prime candidates.
    3. Use stealth before you come into visual range. Rank 1 wraith module lasts for 20 seconds, which is plenty of time to cover distance on a flash, and you won't need to worry about recharging it afterwards, heh heh heh.
    4. Once you have established visual contact with your target, converge on their location (or projected path of travel) as quickly as possible. You may be invisible, but you are still very loud and enemies tend to get suspicious of C4 floating in the air towards their tanks.
    5. Ram the target, allow half a second for latency* then fire your fury point blank or have your volunteer detonate the C4.
    6. You may wish to message your target and thank them for being a good sport, or you may prefer to try again straight away.
    *Damage from placed explosives such as C4 is determined client side, meaning that the target's client must show that the C4 is within maximum damage range. Because you don't know how much latency they have, a half second is a safe bet that will almost certainly not allow them time to react, provided they did not spot your approach.

    The Battlefield 1943 vehicle trolling tactic adapted to PS2?

    I love you. Have my babies!

    I loved doing this when the flash was cheap. Its only really useful if you want to clear a entrenched sundy, as four c4 will kill it even with blockade 4. It's also fun to try to run down loaded sundies as they move from base to base, I think my record was 9 in a single run. It's also great if tanks clump up, I've blown up two at once a few times, but that's pretty rare.

    Here's a really bad video example I made a while back.

    I love it and hate it at the same time...:D

    There is no counter, unless you see them and can shoot them early enough...and this is completely up to the Flash driver to avoid.

    So the Flash is actually useful...
