New comparison in the size of tanks. Note the soldier in the pic. It's funny how much perspective can affect scale, but clearly the Lightning is smaller.

The cannon on the Van is bigger around than the dude in front of it. Love it.

Now imagine how silly it would look if they shortened it. ICTP - Insane Clown Tank Posse all the way.

So the prowler is no longer the biggest tank on the battlefield... since I assume that it still has the highest DPS, how is that going to be balanced out... In PS one of the major disadvantages of the prowler is its high profile and size.... that seems to be eliminated here.

Prowler should be the fastest, Mag the most maneuverable/versatile and Vanny heaviest.

Yeah... Looks like a choc box. Maybe they should snip a little off the front of the Lightning and glue it to the Prowler.

If you think on it in one way... the Lightning is big... pretty darn big....

The others are freaking HUGE..... I can't wait!

dear devs, please release files of the finished vehicles, all colored and armed! and the common pools in all three faction color versions. please use a file format that is 3d-printer compatible ;)

screw it, please release all vehicles AND all soldiers ;)

or give us an export option ingame for our actual char or vehicle with the actual coloring/camo pattern or outfit-customization.

I absolutely love the bridge in this picture. Some of my favorite PS battles were for bridges :)

Agreed. Looks like a lot of thought went into game play for that bridge too, it looks like infantry might actually be able to creep across in the nooks.

Yeah, I thought PS1 bridge fights were insane, PS2 looks like it will be utter bedlam...

I noticed that too, im really glad they put in that extra thought to add small changes like this that make a HUGE difference

I really do hope that the devs will allow for a MBT driver to certify into having a main gunner. Just the other day I was driving a prowler in PS1, and was fighting a lightning. Poor lighting hit a tree while trying to move, and shoot at me at the same time. My gunner then blew him to bits in no time. It would incredibly suck for that to happen while driving a MBT in PS2.

Hello, where have you been? This is already a done deal. Your wish (and mine) have come true.

Hmm I was out of the loop for awhile. Is it you have to Cert to 1man a MBT or that you have to Cert to 2man a MBT?

I would drastically prefer the first, but I would understand and accept if it were the second.

Initially, I liked the shortenings some people did with the first images of the Lightning. I, too, thought it was a bit too long. Though after looking at it for a while, the longer frame started to grow on me, and I began to like it more. This comparison solidifies it for me, keep it the way it is.

Edit:

Not sure where you heard it was a done deal. I believe the last word on this was that they were "throwing the idea around" Unless I missed something, I don't believe this is set in stone yet.

I want to see how pepakura friendly the models are. I could use a TR helmet on my shelf. :)
