They all have different purposes, lol.

Not too mention dif empires, TR have to worry about Anti Air the most, as NC or VS when you here Beep Beep you don't worry if it's TR.

Totally depends on what you're into. Mossie for killing infantry and scouting over enemy bases and towers, Reaver for some anti-troop work, killing lightly armored vehicles and taking down other aircraft, and Liberator for splattering troops in large quantities and/or destroying heavy vehicles, but be mindful you'll want a gunner and a bomber.

To be honest, I use the Liberator the most. I fly it solo quite a bit, and while it is sluggish as heck and I'm doomed if a couple enemy aircraft spot me, I'm pretty damn good with it. With that nosegun I've killed countless infantry, AA MAX, tanks, as well as a good number of enemy aircraft (few take into consideration how hard that cannon hits!) When I've got a buddy helping me, I'll go bombing infantry in crowded enemy courtyards or throw him in the tailgun and go vehicle hunting. If any enemy aircraft come after you, tilt the nose down, pivot the tailgunner towards the target and let him tear the enemy a new one.

That said, the Mossie and Reaver are also fun as heck to fly.

Whenever I'm in my Anti-Air VS max and I see a full lib... I think "Woot! 3 easy kills!"

I don't think there is a best. They each have a purpose (even if those purposes are now skewed through game changes). But they are all good for certain things and intended for certain things. If you use them for what they are meant and can become skilled in it you can have just as much impact no matter which on you use. Infact that is the only way to have an impact. Anything esle makes as minimal amount of impact on teh way combat goes as most of the fighting around you. Which is almost nothing.

There is also the issue of teamwork in vehicles. Each has different way sof doing this because they are intended for different purposes in combat. If you even simply managed to do this properly you would have a huge impact in any battle anywhere. As far as the proper enemy/ies are available to kill with that vehicles abilities. Of course that makes room for soemeone else to do what you did and wipe up the battle before the next volley of men come to refill the possition. (if any do by chance)

Reaver is fun for BFR hunting :)

I'd say, overall the Reaver.

Its Very Good AA, Excelent AV, Decent AI, second fastest vehicle in game, good amount of armor. Bar AA MAXes, and AA BFRs, nothing can beat a Reaver one-vs-one (in terms of manpower)

I thought a skeeter was just a 1 man dropship... people actually shoot things with them? :huh:

Reaver wins for sure. Especailly air targets that are camping a tower motionless in the air. Blast them with a few rockets and do the rest with bullets.

Liberators are pretty good with defending a base too. You get a full load. fly inside the courtyard once to get your speed up and then you shoot up from your base just enough to bomb. You make one pass around the enemy and come back home to restock health. Great kills.

Libs rule at low elevation just as much or even more than at the ceiling.


And TR Burster max>VS>NC I swear to god at any bridge battle with lots of air, once I come out with the big guns i rack up 10+ kills and you wont see any more for another 20 minutes. My favorite was when a skeeter was coming at me i was almost dead (no one likes to repair maxes nowadays) and i killed it 10 meters from me half way down in health. I was so pumped.....i started sweating.

Wow... you are the first that I have seen rank them that way.

Most folks put VS Starfire>NC Sparrow >Wet Noodle>TR burster Max.

You gota make an alt and try the VS Anti Air MAX. You can easly jump to the highest point, then start wasting aircraft left and right. Most Lib give up on flying over VS bases. If there are a couple VS AA maxes in a base... the skys will be clear of any enemy aircraft.

it is the way I see it. VS is very good, when i fly i HATE flying by a VS AA MAX. However I still can outrun one's....lazer rockets....but when hit by a good Burster MAX, its a matter of seconds before you die and death is not prolonged.

The way I see it. VS Maxes are just a pissoff....plus they do ok damage against AI.



Nerf. :p

I like the reaver the best because of the missiles but the musquito when I want to be fast.But then I like the liberator when I want to screw with the people waiting for a vehicle at a base.

Amazing as it seems after countless hours of Mosq and Reaver farming the thing that I find the best is the Liberator. =/ Its just so much fun to fly with.. if I have guys on TS we go and snipe-bomb the heck out of enemy. When i***180;m alone I go and do some killing with its nosegun... god that thing is great :)

The lib is fun to bomb for, but it sure gets annoying bombing with it on those continents with bases at a very high altitude, as you try to get a decent altitude, but your highest altitude is about 15m off of the base, and making it amost inefective to use he cluster bomb. Plus, you get shot down alot easier when the highest you get from a base is 15m

Don�t really even use the Lib for high altitude bombing. Only in bridge and massive zerg battles. Otherwise the chances not hitting anything are very big. Low altitude speedbombs make the blood run faster. ;)

Back in the day, my favorite was always the Galaxy, so long as I had a good squad of paratroopers to come along.
