They should be able to flip vehicles up to their size. Proto shoudln't have trouble handling a jeep, but it should have a bonus thanks to advanced EI controls...

How about it can only use half its move ? that would help represent the time/ motion of the maneuver?

Or perhaps only one flip attempt per turn and only walk MP...

If that is going to be applied to this, then why not the same thing to punches and kicks?

Sleeping Dragon nailed it. A jeep yes, anything else no way. As I stated half the Mechs weight. A proto is 5-15 tons? Not much you can flip.

At that point just get Battlearmor and swarm the tank. I think they will give up and bail out pretty quick.

AWAD- using BA from a VTOL to swarm Armor is just wrong.... but I gave my player many kudos for it.
