In your opinion, which MBT is the most powerful... I know this question has been asked before but I want you to take into the account BFR's and how everybody now owns the Anti-Armor cert, so on and so forth...

I think the Mag is a beast... Line of fire doesn't ark, can hover over water, can outrun all other MBTs... If used by semi smart people, and attacks in packs, I think it can be the most devestating vehicle in the game

if anything attacks in packs it can be devestating more or less

Mags, when used right, are in my opinion the best of the three

I choose the NCs second MBT the Thunderer. All the advantages of the Mag, with more firepower.

If there are only enemy infantry I'd get a Prowler. If there are any vehicles involved at all (aircraft, BFRs, tanks, etc) it's a Magrider, hands down. No other tank can come close to how effective Magriders are against all enemy vehicle types. But Mags aren't so hot against infantry. Not that I'd say that's balanced by that per se (everything smokes infantry, so who cares if your tank isn't so good for it provided you can smoke vehicles in your tank?) but it's pretty obvious that the Vanguard and Prowler are superior at anti-infantry work. Except for MAXs. Mags are great on MAXs too. Only MAXs that'd be able to survive a Mag is, ironically, the Vanu MAX, because it can jump the hell out of there sometimes.

Definitely the magrider. It's nice being able to shoot as the driver

The Mag, though I think the driver's gun should be removed in favor of a more powerful turret...or maybe even a faster one.

The most powerful tank is the Prowler. But I like Vanguards, they look great in red and black ;)

The most powerful tank is the Prowler.

Only in technical terms.

i would have to say magrider, ive gone against them, and ive died... and ive went with them and owned like everything, its far more superior with speed (which is mostly the only reason why i even use vehicles is to get places. And it can kill people even if your going out solo, the driver turret can kill infantry...

the gunner can desroy tanks, and with them combined thats one good machine. especially being so skinny and fast, its alot harder to hit then a big fat prowler

Personally I've found I've been able to topple a magrider 1 on 1 in my fully manned raider. It's no easy task, but we can usually swing it. It's just a matter of good driving to get the rail gunner to miss a few times.

The worst part is sinking it and being unable to catch the two crew members though =*(

Hell I give raider my vote

ya but it also depends on who your attacking if your attacking an expert crew... magriders would kill you, raiders dont have the firepower even if both crews were experts... magrider would be the outcome

I've seen plenty of Raiders give Magriders a good pounding (I'd say destroy but in such cases the magrider can retreat easier).

If a Raider can get close to a Magrider (or any vehicle, for that matter) it can do some serious damage. But, then, we're talking about a vehicle with 5 people in it here. Lot's of damage potential, but that's a hell of a lot of guys to crew a single vehicle.

I'd definitely rather take a Raider up against a Mag than use a Prowler, though.

When all 4 gunners are able to coordinate the same target, only BFRs stand a serious chance of survival granted a 1 on 1 encounter, excluding aircrafts
