Yeah, question for all you beta-enlightened folks out there -
Do vehicles handle differently on the different terrains? Do they skid around on the ice continent?

I hope so! *imagines harasser sliding sideways on ice infront of a vanu army, effectively gunning them all down*

Another vehicle related question.

Do the buggy type vehicles go fast enough to ramp off hills and get some air? Cause i could spend hours just bajaing one of those things back and forth across a continent.

Cyanide, I know of this HUGE rock formation that makes the perfect jump. its bigger then a base, and if it doesn't get my Harasser air, then heaven help the DEVS familys.

First question, no, terrain doesn't matter. You'll have just as much traction on Esamir as you will on Forseral or Hossin.

Second question, you can get some awesome air in PS, especially on a Basilisk. There's one spot on Ishundar I'm partciularily fond of, as it has a HUGE cliff that I have had good fun driving a Prowler off of (Prowlers can survive falls well, Basilisks cannot).

i was doing some crazy driving in my vanguard for awhile and i got some air in him, then i started taking 'shortcuts' through mountains and stuf (this is unwise) and i rolled the tank quite a few times but he always landed on his tracks and i was beginging to think you couldnt flip a car upside down. So i started going off cliffs on purpose with my gunner on teamspeak going AAAYEEE!

One cliff we rolled a whole bunch and landed upside down and i couldnt fix it, of course it happened in the middle of nowhere too, long walk.

Other vehicles.. harassers.. ams's... they dont do well with cliffs and jumping...
/me thinks back to the giant Volcanic Crater in Solsar that has a CLIFF that crushed 2 of my ams's :(

Hehe, it does handle different AFAIK. I was coming over a hill and sliding around a turn and slammed into the tree
