Pilots, Whats the first you're going for?

[1024]

Sorry for the 2 polls so close to eachother, just wanted to know.

What will all the pilots out there be trying to fly first?

[Echo419]

galaxy all the way... thats all i fucking want in this game...

[NeoTassadar]

I'm a little worried about the game being swamped with Galaxies at the beginning. Then everyone realizes it's glorified taxi driving with 3 chainguns. That leaves me.

Whoa, no one picked the Skeeter yet. Masses of Reavers (there will be some in the beginning also) are going to get owned by two Skeeters.

ya im worried about the same thing, but even though im primarily going to be a galaxy pilot, im going to defeinetly spread otu my vehicle choices as i gain more certs, spending less and less time in the flying army-taxi

EDIT: hahah thats my new nickname for the galaxy: The Flying Army - Taxi!

[Sentrosi]

I will enjoy going for the Reaver Certs first, then the Galaxy, unless my squad leader wants me to do something different.

But i will own the skies ;)

[SlapNut]

i think there needs to be a plane that can have more than one person and one or more gunners (other than a galexy) but it only carrys like 2,3,4 people in it, like a slightly bigger reaver maybe, cos the galexy is the only miltiperson ship in the whole game.

[Ruthless]

if you want to own the skies, fly a mosquito. they are the best air to air.

[Zatrais]

On my pilot char i'm gonna get reaver, mosq and galaxy in that order.

lmao!

That pic is crazy :lol:

Although I'm not getting a plane first (I want to own one of the first Vanguards ^_~) The Reaver will be the first, and probably only, plane for me

[Hamma]

Your other poll (i locked because its the same) was better. I could pick all 3, which is what I will be doing in game, all 3 :p

noooo they were different, this one is hwat the pilots are going for FIRST, and the other one is for what they're gonna be flying OVERALL....ehhh...wahtever....

[Nubi]

dunno, here's what I'm gonna do:

First, imma start in VR training, try out a Reaver and a Mosquito, to see which one handles the best

if the Reaver is only like 10 - 20 KPH slower the Mosquito I'll fly it but if there's any more speed difference then I'll be flying the mosquito

if neither of those suit my needs then Basilisk

that thing looks so frickin' kewl lol

[Frozen-Monkey]

mosquito for me:D

[2coasts]

if you want to know the diff between the mosquito and reaver, just think of the difference between the fighter and bomber in BF1942

[Terik]

Well now, thats a pretty big difference right there. Well anyway i'm goin for both the mosquito for recon and the reaver when I want to own the crap out of ground targets, but i'm going to wait till I get my ground and armor certs first. :)

[1024]

im not sure but from what i've heard it seems the mosquito willbe owning the air-to-air combat and anti-infantry, where the reaver will just be taking out ground vehicles. Seems the mosquito can be used for a wider range of tasks. But then again, reavers can be used a lot better for cover and also, something i can't wait to see, is carpet bombing :D

also it seesm the reaver will be the most popular at the start of the game...mmmm Rocket/AA MAX fodder....hahaha :D. On a more serious note though, it seems like the abundance of reavers will be easy kills, especially for the damned TR with their homing missles, because of the reaver's lack of speed. I don't know about you guys but i'm going for the galaxy(omg, a galaxy pilot going for the galaxy?!?!:D) then the mosquito, then the reaver.

[BUGGER]

I'ma probly for first flights do Mosquito since I want a good handle in teh air and i could leave fast if i'm being pursuited by anythin. But the Galaxy, anything in a galaxy!:D

[Gobberlerra]

I would have though a reaver would beat a Mosquietoesin air to air combat. The reaver may lack a bit of manovarablity, but the increase in weapon strength and armor would make it far superiour. As for Air to infantry, i think the reaver may still hold it over the Mosquietoes, depending on how effective rockets are, although the machine gun (or chain gun) on the reaver is still slightly better, not even including the rocket launcher. Mosquietoes would be best for recon, or deploying a sniper without being noticed.

Of cause this is all assumption, but hay just my thoughts.

Ill probably go reaver to start with, but will work with a group of us, so some Mosquietoes too

[MorphiasAC]

I think the galaxy will be one of my first, but I was just wondering...
Say you take out your galaxy, fully manned. You know getting ready to assault a base. Now, instead of the galaxy pilot just serving as an air lift, and also not just leaving it there to grow over in weeds--or worse get hijacked--why not just blow that thing up? Not a big deal if you were smart enough to bring along an AMS. The only problem would be grief points I suppose? Maybe we need a self destruct option.

You don't get grief points for killing someone form your own squad, so presuamably if you destroy a vehicle that belongs to a member of you squad you wont get grief points.

[2coasts]

" would have though a reaver would beat a Mosquietoesin air to air combat."

I disagree. Firstly, the missiles are completely innefective at fast moving targets (little lone a mosquito) and are better for attacking formations or slow moving tanks. And that then leaves them evenly matched with chainguns. At this point manuverability and speed will save the day.

[Zylos]

Reaver!

[NeoTassadar]

With all the Reavers I just may switch to Skeeter whenever my Galaxy isn't needed. I know, forum is like 0.00001%:D of game population, not good indicator. Had a thought though, Reavers will be awesome at downing Galaxies from the huge blind spots above/below (head-on a little too risky for me) if the pilot's any good with those rockets.

[MrVulcan]

if the mosquito turns out to be very mobile, good vs reavers, and galaxies, and still be ok vs ground troops then ill grab it 1st, else ill grab the reaver 1st, then galaxy, then mosquito

:lol: I program too much, just wrote an if-then statement :lol:

[Sindustry]

Galaxy all the way.

[NeoTassadar]

It is. Smokejumper was talking about being hunted by Skeeters while in a Reaver a long time ago. It's apparently faster and more manuverable by a huge degree.

[Destroyeron]

I don't intend to be a pilot, but I do intend to get the mosquito for when i feel like flying. For one reason: they don't show up on radar.

I'm not a good pilot unless I can ambush you or get a head start, so I want to be off the radar, manueverable and able to dissapear into the woods. lol :D

[Rogue]

I like the idea of dropping a bunch of troops into the thick of a fight while being shot at, so I'll probably fly the Galaxy first.

[BUGGER]

Ok, I wana try and solve this mix....so dont laugh if I screw up....:rolleyes:


Ok, every vehicle has a porpose, same with armors. But I'll stick witht he air vehicles. The Reaver is air to ground support, the rockets and cannon are more likly to hit a vehicle goin 60 miles per hour instead of a vehicle goin 300 miles per hour. The Mosquito is for air to air combat, for its bullets are faster than rockets and cannons. I know you can maybe take out ground targets if it were infantry runnin all about. But lets take it here, reaver vs. mosquito will have the mosquito victorios. Why? Because the mosquito is much faster than the reaver and the reavers cannons are hella slow (and I dunno if the reavers rockets can lock on to mosquitos....but you know......even if they can the reaver is too slow to turn while the mosquito can change direction in a jiffy), therefore the mosquito is more likely to get in the back of the reaver and shoot it down. Now if this was a mosquito vs. mosquito, its an all all game to see who is the most slyest;) !

Now I'll just put Galaxys in this since this also includs reavers and mosquitos. Galaxys are for base assults and of course, transportation. Now as for the galaxys' defence, we all know it got em 3 gunners, but no gunner in the front wich leaves it vonerable to any kinda fire. Now that brings a propper escort thin in mind. If ya want to escort it properly, heres what I think should be escorting the galaxy. 2 mosquitos and 1 reaver. Why? because first off if you can upon a ground collision, you will ofcourse be able to outrun em and they're bullets. If you come upon a mosquito or a reaver, you can take em out easly with your 2 mosquitos and possibly reaver. Also the reason I choosed 2 mosquitos cause that in this game I bet since this isn't narrow areas of battle and it will be easy to get ambushed, most of anythin will travel in packs.

k thats all for now..
