Are you also implying that flamer overwatch is not a shooting attack because the way its hits are resolved is different from its normal profile?

Soul blaze is a result of an attack, the unit took a wound and demonic goodies are inside the unit now and want to eat the sweet sweet souls of anything nearby.

The flamer one is implying that the flame itself gets in to the open topped vehicle and hits people inside, So its a SHOOTING attack that gets a special rule against passengers inside. it most definitely is a shooting attack and units inside would benefit from a KFF. Hell if flamers didn't have Ignores cover I would say they benefit from a cover safe from the vehicle as well :-P. I have not had this situation come up in my games but I bet you my club would allow the save based on common sense alone.

Flamers aren't shooting attacks? No Escape is certainly part of a shooting attack. You get the save as all models count as being in the same area as the hull RaW.

Pretty sure it's not a shooting attack. Can you prove otherwise with quotes?

While trying not to go too deep in the Shooting Attack debate:

All attacks in the game are technically only Shooting Attacks or Close Combat attacks. Special Rules dealing damage are usually considered shooting attacks, with 1 or 2 very borderline cases.
