The NC are the best because they have the best armor and assault shotguns out the wazzoo. Who can say no to shotgun honestly. The NC also have the only good lookin armor. I mean c'mon do yall want to wear purple? The NC are the best enough said

Always say no to the best looking side of a game, you have to take into consideration that every newbie will look into who 'Looks' best at first. Terran Republic all the way! :D

(Edit: I believe all sides will come out pretty balanced though)

I think that the only ones that took grammar class are the vanu =P

Since the NC are rebels, and the TR are rednecks :p

Though do you truly want to argue grammar with a vindicator tank aimed at ya? :p

:ncrocks: :ncrocks: :ncrocks:


P.S.
"A lot" is 2 words :p its not �alot� :p

Those darned TR with their Machiavellian ideals and silly little chain guns =) And the Vanu and their perfectionist drive (psst.. it's called snobby.) We're the only ones with sound idea... so GO NC!

And Vulcan... that sounds like something an english teacher would say... *feigns horror* you're not an english teacher are you?!? *shakes fist in a non-threatening manner* We have ways to deal with english teachers =)

Somehow i doubt the NC will be the kings of firepower and armor... I put my money on TR having the most armor since the prowler is describes as the heavily armored while the vanguard is discribed as solid.. course thats not scientific, but it's what i think =)

BUT look at the gun on the Vanguard!!! IT HUGE!!! I dont think any other vech will be able to toe to toe with it. I do think that the TR one MIGHT have more armor (due to this: http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/viewer.php?img_id=343 ) but a 150mm gun does a lot more dmg than a 100 mm gun.

You just left out one thing, it's not a 100mm gun... it's 2 100mm's =D

But we'll see how the tanks stack against eatchother.. i think they'll be balanced.

Lol, measly Vanguard.... I hope all the NC play in them though. More targets to pulverize in my Reaver.

And what do you mean, no other vehicle can go toe to toe with the vanguard? Reavers will own. TR will own. Enough said.

I'm all for the NC, but stop with these lame posts allready.

Terrans are the kings of firepower, all things considered. The ROF will be able to do more damage quickly, but not neccisaraly on the first shot.

The NC will have the best damage per shot, but at the expence of ROF. Also, it has been indirectly stated that the Vangaurd will have shields. I'm to lasy to look up a link right now, but it was durrring one of the dev interviews that this was aluded to.

High damage per shot however will still be an asset as the first shot can make a huge difference, especialy with infantry support.

The Vanu will have the advantage of speed and better ability at range(lower recoil). The also have the vercitility of only haveing to carry 1 ammo type for both normal and AP fireing modes.

:mad: I was gonna be a nice little Vanguard driver but now I'm gonna have to shoot down every reaver I see untill i kill you :twisted:

It will be funny when your reavers get 1-shoted by good Vangaurd gunners, and there always the dual 20mm cannons that I immagine will do very respectable damage to aircraft.

Let's see all you guys in your vanguards standing against one reaver. :rolleyes:
Think about it,it'll be so hard to aim that long 150mm cannon at a reaver.


Btw:All people join the NC because it has the vanguard tank

I joined the NC because they believe in freedom, and I enjoy geting into character. The Gauss and Tank were just a nice perk.

By you're logic everyone joins the VS because they have jumpjets and everyone joins the TR because they have dual weapons.

I disagree with that statement and I agree with sandtrout. I'm not saying that i chose an empire solely on ideals, because I did seriously think on joining TR for the fast weapons. in the end I chose NC, because of ideals, weapons, storyline, and blue and yellow are funky :eek: unfortunately, after working on my clan web page for a while. Blue and yellow have been stained onto my retina.

I chose NC for color, (blue is fave), their ideas, (fighting for freedom), their underdoggedness, (is that real word?) and the fact that Gauss Rifles own. I don't wanna be in a Vanguard. Reaver pilots 4ever! I may aslo pilot Galaxies and Mosquitos.

Lol! You actualy think you're vanguard can hit my reaver! Lets see a M1 Abrams take down an Apache. Reavers are made to kill tanks. tanks are made to kill infintry and other tanks.

Reaver=eagle
Vanguard=mouse

who cares tanks suck anyway, plus it was stated that tanks can take down aircraft mighty easy buddy;)

durr.....you would be surprised to see what a SABOT or HEAT round can do to an AH-64. just because it flies doesnt mean that it cant be hit by a tank.

Jaged

I know it can be hit by a tank... all im saying is that Reavers have the advantage.

Zoolooman

Not with an AA MAX nearby that tank. Then they don't have the advantage. ;D

Fire_Monkey
2003-02-08, 11:19 PM
I would assume so as well, seems like more manueverability plus it doesn't seem right for a tank to shoot down a plane...yet this is how it is...lol

im not so sure that the Reavers have such a great advantage. Sure the can fly, thats a plus, but their weapons are rockets. unless they changed them, they are dumbfire so you have to look at what you are shooting and fly towards it. now, on the other hand, the tank can drive sideways while moving the turret 360 degress (i presume, not sure if the can or not).

If the tank was to see the Reaver incoming, you would think that the driver would take evasive action(or he could be a total dolt and sit there). if the rockets have any travel time whatsoever, the reaver will have to get reasonably close to the tank to insure a hit. while the reaver is closing on the tank the tank is driving like mad and the gunner is lining up his shot. then it would matter on who shoots first or who can dodge rockets/ cannon fire the best.

Personally i think that the Reaver will be more of a, come out of nowhere and blow the crap out of the tank and fly away gunship, rather then the invincible tank killing machine that some people think it is (i am not referring to any one person specifically).

this is all theoretical mind you, i could just be talking out of my ass here. i just got the urge to type an annoyingly long post for no appearent reason about something that i really have no clue about. :D ;)

Wow, 1309 characters long not counting this blurb.

This isint a discusion about an AA Max vs a Reaver... We will have to see wich has the advantage when the game comes out. But a long Reaver vs a lone vanguard.... Now thats not even a contest.

All = everyone, Some, would be a lot better term to use. I didn't join the NC just because of the Vanguard. I personaly don't expect to be driving many vehicles, being a engineer/grunt, I will first, spend most of my time supporting my squad and second, hunting down any enemy armor with extreme prejudice. I joined up with the NC as a whole I like everything about them from there weapons and armor to there vehicles and ideals. :D As far as NC being the best, only time and player skill will tell.
