Any VS still complain about the magrider?

[JuSTCHiLLiN]

Is there any VS that think the magrider is a horrible tank?

I've become frustrated with it but I didn't want to post a whine about it. Instead, I'm looking to bait someone into saying it's weak so I can blow up at them.

That is all. I'll check back in a few hours or tomorrow.

I concur :doh:

lol

I'm just trying to vent without posting a big whine thread. Goddamn thing is better for taking out air than the skyguard.

;)

[Jagd]

It sure is, but how does that count against it?

[Ed the MAD]

i said it before, and i'll say it again.

as a New Com sodier, the three most beautiful things i'll ever see in planetside are...

A. the ass-end of a magrider.
2. a captured Magrider
Z. the burned-out husk of a magrider.

i assume i've made my point.

[BigBoy]

Magrider sucks. Its has almost no armor, seems like buggy strength. It makes annoying noises when you try to strafe. It is smaller than the other empires' tanks and looks homosexual. VS tanks take it up the rear.

yes, but in my expirience, they give more than they recive. the only time i've ever seen a magrider take it up the ass was when five of them were gang-raped by seven vanguards, three lightnings, two skyguards, one reaver, one mosquito, eight MAXs, and a baker's dozen of infantry supported by an AMS.


i have been bitched by magriders more times than i'd care to mention.

In a toe-to-toe big dumb idiot match, Magrider will lose to both other tanks. If you think armored warfare is about going toe-to-toe with enemy tanks, congratulations you may have won a prize. Please press Alt-F4 while browsing this page to claim your prize.

I'm a vanu and I have a complaint about my Magrider.

It has splinters of vanguard hull stuck to the paintwork.

[Flammey]

What The Jesus H Fuk are you talking about? The Magrider is an awesome tank. I've driven every tank as a VS character, I've Gunned every tank as a VS character, and only the Magrider is very manuverable. The direct fire capability makes it an awesome long range weapon. Everytime I get in a Mag gunner spot, and my driver is half decent, I kick people's ass.

But anyways, I saw a wierd thing the other day, a NC mosquito rammed a mag, and the mag took on the colors of the NC. Not shitting you. It was still in VS hands, but it was blue and yellow.

[Rayder]

Only thing is, every little elevation change fucks your shot up, so its annoying when your trying to hit your target and your driver goes over a 1-inch bump. Also, someone gets under you your fucked.

[Flammey]

Yeah, that's true. But I get used to it. I just have to keep reaiming. Good thing I don't used Advanced Zoom, that would REALLY mess me up.

[Rayder]

I don't think anyone does. But I do think everyone thats ever gunned a Mag uses zoom on every vehicle gun nowadays.

As a TR, I'd trade the Prowler in a New York minute for the tactically brilliant MagRider.

As a NC, it'd be too tough to say goodbye to the Vanguard, the unholy beast from hell that eats enemies like Jared Fogle wishes he could eat pork grizzle.

If I played VS, you'd best believe I'd spend all my time in a Heavy Rail Beam turret owning fools from 300+ meters while using water to make sure nobody could give chase. Who says there's no naval combat in this game? It's just the VS have it all.

Mag = strong tank. Too aimbot friendly. Avoids all chokepoints. Is it unfair? Let's just say it's definitely not sucky.

[WritheNC]

I can't stand the magrider. I've been shot out of the air while in a reaver or mosquito more times than I'd care to mention.

And the water thing is annoying too, yeah. Vanguards and Prowlers can't do jack with a Magrider pecking them from 150m out on a river.

[Veteran]

I maintain that you could give one empire the Wave Motion Cannon and people would defend it as 'part of the empire flavor and totally fair".

I guess 'bypassing all chokepoints with childish ease' is part of VS' 'empire flavor'.

[Strak]

and really about time we had one too.

TR: Light fast weapons, relying on mass of lead into the air to put down the enemy
NC: Heavy slow weapons, relying on a single well placed shot to put down the enemy
VS: Abnormal attack angles, use of water, MAX jump jets etc to put down the enemy.

[Otherick]

exactly the VS are all about mobility. What it lacks in fire power and punch it makes up with manuverability.

So if you say that the magrider is a annoying monster put it in a place where its options are limited or easily predicted...............or just go get your own

[Rarzo]

Its not what tank it is, It's who's inside the tank. Any experianced Magrider gunner can take out a Vamgaurd just because of the direct fire. If the driver is strafing around everywhere, the vangaurd won't even hit the Mag with its slow, lobbed missles.

So, The Magrider is useful in lots of situations.

[STEALTHKILLER]

The magrider is an awsome tank, I just perfer the thresher becuse I can drive it while wearing reinforced echo. Plus ive been attacked many a time by a magrider, it is the untimate mower and can take out infantry quicker then a os as long as there is no decis or other vechicals.

[martyr]

so true

[TeraHertz]

My outfit captured a TR tank once, and I gunned in the MG turret. The main gun owned 5 vanguards and numerous light vehicles. Reavers were a pest, but I still took down 3 out about 6 runs on us (the others ran away) and mosquitos wouldn't come near us.

The armour at our disposal was great. Those pesky infantry troops that can wipe out a mag hardly scratched us. The only problem I found with the prowler was that it ate ammo up quickly. The loadstar giving extra mobility and support to the terrans will certianly help them out.

Loadstar = chokepoint avoidance. So stop your moaning.

[Jagd]

Direct fire weapons rule. The Mag has an advantage when it can keep the enemy at arm's length, making it difficult for the enemy gunner to dial in the right gun elevation. Incidentally, this also happens to be the NC's weakness-- staying back and not letting them close the distance. On the other hand, the Vanguard's splash damage is so massive that even if the long distance shots are misses they will often wear the mag down. This really brings it down to the skill of the Mag gunner while his driver is moving over hills and terrain, trying to keep away from the Vanguard.
