I had an idea for a flag that would shoot something like a mine, then after about 1 second, it explodes into a zillion shots going in EVERY DIRECTION POSSIBLE, takes ten seconds to reload and eats up all your available shots(for fairness).
I got the Idea from a vidio clip from AFV, that had some guys launching a skyrocket, it immediatly goes downward, then it explods with colored sparks going everywhere.
and the bullets would ricochet - SW obviously dosn't. but i think it's too similar to be of any use.
i thinkk the mines thing is a way to go, though i understand it would be difficult to do and tim riker may have ruled it out, i don't know. how about mines that explode on a proximity, and when you drop the flag they all explode.

What about a quake flag? It could be like SW or something. It rumbles along the ground and doesn't ricochet. It only works on ground—if you're on top of a building, it won't go farther than the edges.
that's a nice idea, but i expect it's another "too much like SW" job.
i like some ideas that are on the WiKi flag suggestions:
Fly Swatter - a massive fly swatter comes out of your tank and can swat stuff in the radius of it's swing. (could be good for getting wings )
Cow Launcher - Your tank launches explosive cows.
