Mines the Galaxy when its landed.

I expect the mods will treat this the same as the fav weapon poll for the same reasons.

I always enjoyed rolling around in the Vanguard in my free time. Something about that 150mm cannon always kept me coming back for more. ;)

well if were merely basing our favourite vehicle off looks of PS2 then I'll even go with the Vanguard, it looks like a proper tank.
The new variant of the prowler has some nice features but over all it doesn't impress me at all as a tank design, has more of a parade float feel and it's off centre cannons... well I like symmetry and they make me nauseous to the bottom of my gut.
If I had my way I'd tear down the design and put a curved TR version of the RL Merkava tank in its stead.

A close second favourite of mine is the new Lightning, it's a lil beast :)

I loved the lighting in PS1 .The secret to driving the linghting was ,never stop moving.It was my favorite killing machine:D

Symmetry is overrated, prowler looks bad ass and it's like they actually progressed with tank tech in that they can have an ultra-small turret with dual 120mm cannons without breaking the turret. Having a small-profile andbeing too fast to hit is IMHO superior to having more armor at the cost of speed, because no matter how thick it is, there's always something that can penetrate it.

Probably the Flash and Vanguard. Flash has a very nice design. The Vanguard is the only real tank. The other vehicles have had numerous complaints against them in many threads.

Prowler - Offset barrel
Magrider - Fixed turret (among other complaints about overall balance)
Lightning - Too long
Sunderer - Pointless except for the AOE armor repair and resupply

It would take some redesigns before they got everything right, but it might be something for during beta or after release.

It's got 120mms this time around? The Mk.I only had 100mms (last I checked).

Also good'on the art team for making an actual sci-fi tank instead of an ultra-modern piece of crap.

Want to see the optional turrets for the Lighting. Like the skyguard AA turret and the PS1 original one mini-chaingun one cannon turret.

Dat boom! :D

I loved the buggies in PS1, particularly the Enforcer, though the Thresher and Marauder were also lots of fun. You had to keep going fast or you were dead! And if you hit mines you were dead! Or ran into aircraft, or got too close to a few tanks, or TR with Strikers... okay well basically you were always pretty screwed but sometimes if you drove fast and well, you'd get out by the skin of your teeth with a few kills, and it was a blast!

I hope to see them put in PS2 at some point, even if just for the lulz.

I love the lightning, light, fast and cheap.. Specced right it sounds like it'll hit hard and move fast.

The new flash in PS2 looks awesome, especially with a rocket launcher on it. I can imagine a pack of these hunting down a Vanguard, the Vanguard's running, It's not fast enough and IT EXPLODES IN A-
...
Sorry.
Also, the new Prowler looks a bit boxy and buffoonish. Whenever i see one I have an internal urge to clap my hands like a seal.

I like the overall aesthetics of the Prowler, but I also enjoy the hovering and giant neon explosions of the Magrider.

Whatever vehicle gets me to the front line. When the action starts, I proceed on foot. Vehicles and MBTs may move the mud.. but it's the Infantry that holds it.

I like the Flash the best. It's fast and looks like a lot of fun.

PS1 - Skyguard

I'm not going to say the PS2 lightning (with skyguard turret), because tracking and firing at aircraft, while driving through obstacles is pretty lame for a single person.

Get me in a Prowler! I know I'm going to have a blast in that thing and I can't wait to see what other main gun options there are for the tank. :evil:

I'm curious to see how different the Lightning TD will look, if it looks good then that will take the cake.

Otherwise its a tie between the idea of a Lightning skyguard or a Vanguard. I think the Vanguard wins. Best tank, and the best looking!

I like the Flash from what I've seen so far, but then I always did appreciate living "dangerously" (in games where death is relatively trivial).

Marauder, they once published one of my stories/tips/tricks on the original site.

Wish I could find it.

Magrider. It is the prettiest of them all.

Plus it's a hover tank. Who doesn't like hover tanks? (Inferior peoples who are too scared to embrace the future.)

PS1 my favorite was a tie between the Flail and the Switchblade. (Yes, i LOVED piloting a Flail. Sue me.) Flail for fun, Switchblade for srs killing.

PS2... from the looks of things the Sunderer. Simply because it can ram other vehicles out of its path.
