they're a bit big but do stand out. in the past I thought something like that would be a good idea, but would take it one step father. have the flag mast mount into a ear-phone plug and wire the plug for powering the gun, this way the gun can't fire without the flag (or plug) being plugged in making it part of the require kill switch system of the tank. for the mast i would think a thin piece of spring steel / music wire with a few coils at the base (for when they drive them under trees) they can fold over but as it still might be too stiff and cause the socket to want to break off from the tank and cause some damage maybe use a short piece of rod into the pug and then a short piece of rubber tubing to attach the flag to.

After being and acting as a "newbie" at the Gettysburg event, I found that "theory thinking" and "practical combat" might be two very different environments... For IFF, I would suggest something SIMPLE: What about a long antenna on each tank, and colored triangular flags? As this hobby grows, and tank battles involve more than 5 vehicles on each sides, and team members changing at each battle, it is difficult to remember who is who... If we put colored visible flags on each tank, then we can easily identify friendlies and foes! The "red team" and the "blue team". Just distribute the removable flags at the next battle! Below is a photo to illustrate this idea, but those flags are too big. Just a suggestion!
