Yeah so the thresher gun SUCKS and needs to be FIXED.

sure, it fires somewhat fast, but it only does 18 armor dmg to an infantry unit. That is pathetic. *spit*

Enforcer one shots infantry I believe, and it shoots maybe 1/5 the rate that the thresher does. no do some calculations, thresher sucks, hell it doesnt even carry much ammo...rofl..its PATHETIC.

K theres my vent :)

Nope, the enforcer rocket does not one shot infantry, not even on a direct hit. Maybe standard and infiltrators, but not agile or reinforced. That is, IF you get a direct hit, as it is prudent to fire at the ground around the target instead of directly at it.

The threshers gun fires faster, and its rounds travel faster. Trying to lead targets with that rocket launcher while the buggy is bouncing over terrain is a bitch, to say the least.

The Enforcer rockets do absolutly the same damage as Phoenix missle, which take four direct hits to kill an agile, and five to kill a reinforced.

Threser is fun as hell to drive though!!

How much does it do vs armor? I wish we had a vehicle shooting range :mad:

It's a time saver vehicle. Driving over rivers is it's modility bonus associated with it's empire. The thing that does suck is it's strafe speed. Seems to be a thing with strafing in this game... Especially when VS is supposed to be the more manuverable.

Edit: There it is. Sprocket said that works.

Ah so mostly plow over infantry, which it is VERY good at, and use gun for vehicles, armor. Sounds good. The mobility of this vehicle is honestly unsurpassed.
It can really take some good cliffs and falls.. and yes it looks kickass!

I haven't played yet but I plan on getting the Thresher just for the fact that you can wear reinforced armor and drive it. That, and being able to bring a buddy along with you sounds pretty sweet to me.

Agree with above, the only reason I'm gonna get thresher is because I can drive it in reinforced armor. Otherwise magrider is mo betta.

Carrying a Lancer with agile armor only gives you 18 shots and no other weapon aside from pistol :(
