I don't think we are gona have the same problems when the game comes out. Since I doubt we are going to be running rush and running conquest people will be focused not only on infantry but tanks, jets, helicopters, etc. I doubt shining a flashlight at the barrel of the tank will do much to prevent the driver from doing their job.
The enemy will be just trying to tell you where to valet park your tank.
The flashlight is blinding, even in broad daylight - I have around a dozen tactical lights running around, and none of them come close to how broken the lights are in this game. Annoying, but Chris is right; when vehicles get added, a lot of people will concentrate on those instead.
I think both the flashlight and the laser are stupid. I do not use them. I think it gives away position and can be annoying to teammates than anything else useful.

They are useful in only certain situations.
And most of those situations require them to be off for a period of time. Most players are just running around with them on. I am finding the tactical attachments (in this case, laser/light) are very useful in CQB situations. Other than that, they are useless. I tend to have the laser on most of my guns and off... Only turning it on when I know I am going to assault a room.
I also find myself aiming at a corner of a wall or something similar to keep it from "Traveling" further than intended, and giving away my position (while camping a corner or something of the sort)

only a mil? i have a handheld that is 5 mil right now
Considering how a regular tactical flashlight can blind people from 500 yards away in perfect daylight, I think a mil is more than enough. In this game it probably acts like a massive laser, slicing through vehicles and troops like a hot knife through butter.
I'm finding it very handy for my CQB as well. I'm normally very bad at CQB (worse than I am in other situations), but when I see flashlight and laser beams start flashing in the doorway, from the side, I just start blazing away. Or I toss a grenade in.

Works great.
Frags for the win!
Yes, I've abused this as well. ^.^ Just think if this game was another two years or so older... Said lights would not be dynamic enough to be used in such a tactical manner against the user... Yay for progress.
