I see a tendency...

Why is it that on all servers (exept werner, we europeans are nut cases) the vanu is lacking personel?
Ill tell you, coz we are underpowered. You cant kill shit with our maxes, comparred to the TR ones, and that ohh so praised secondary mode on the pulsar doesnt do shit. (In fact, i always laugh at ppl who try to kill my magirder with armorpiercing bullets in their medium weapons. Dont, it only gives off your position.)

Our beamer is the suckiest pistol to. It cant be used as an infil, coz its shots are to damn bright, and gives you off in a second. Also you need to empty a slow firering magasine into something to kill it.

Our magrider is propely the best one around, i dont know, i havent drived the others, but i do know that in it, i took down three vanguards and a sunderer by myself (with a gunner, naturally).

Then theres the thresher. It sucks. End of story.

Even our bloody knife is the worst one around. TR and NC only gives noice, which if encountered by good players, can give you a hint of where they are. Ours light up like a fucking chrismas tree. And dont give me shit about sound bieng good to, coz ours ALSO emit large amounts of sound. And it has been proven that people shoot after what they see, not what they hear...

Our two other weapons have some merit, but they are only close to bieng what they should be. They can be used, but i think theres a reason most vanu use commonpool weapons, or looted cyclers/jackhammers or whatnot.

Just a bit of info to the whining people. Dont, unless you are vanu. We ARE the underdogs. And plz dont shout NERF every time something is getting fixed. Nerf is the term in which a thing is being adjusted downwards to the point of not having any usage what so ever (a bit like the pulsar, actuallly :D). Use the term adjust, or fix instead.

So i beg you devs. Adjust our weapons plz... Upwards if you can ;)

Thresher is cool, I drive it well and I love to drive it, its weapon is also very efficient on infantry, I don';t care what anyone else says, it is good, only needs the anti gravity fixed so it doens't get damaged from pads and bumps

Beamer is shit, yup and so is Pulsar

About the Knife...I never use it so I don't have a problem but if your an infiltrator your going to knife them from behind so its not like they are going to see the glow.

They will if some1 is standing nearby.

It is quite impossible to actually get some1 alone, if inside a base.

But even if it isnt important as you say, why did we get the shitty end of the stick?

The Vanu always are complaining about weapons and stuff. We have gone through this so many times its not even funny. The empires basically have a specalty in their weapons. For example the TRs is that they have alot of armor and focus more on filling the air with lead in hopes of hitting you. The NC Have that big old upper cut to the nuts power hits (logically there should be someother NC advantage but right now im drawing a blank). Now the VS They have the best accuracy and range but pack less punch than the NC but more than the TR bullet for bullet. The problem is that the TR just unload on you sofast it seems they are doing more damage per shot. If you are not happy with the Beamer as a pistol then bring along AMP. On that note the beam packs the greatest anti armor shot from a pistol at range (NC scatter mag better standing next to a tank). Also if you dont like the knife kill one guy in their own base and immidiatly loot his pack... BINGO now u got a new knife (you can do that right? I just played my friends game for an hour.)

The best sugestion i can give you is do what i did playing his game (he was vanu) Stay as far back as possible and pick them off with that suppirior accuracy.

Edit: P.S. The reason that when compaired to the TR max you dont get as many kills is that the TR MAXs (the AV and AI) are way over powered, i personaly think they should have left the AI as the DC and the AV as the grenade arms (frgt name). Also most vanu from what i saw in that 1 hour of play time was that they Neva used the jump jets. Use them to get to stratigic positions or to run away and find cover. If fighting TR Max try to get them to deploy and then jump over and unleash hell. Every tactic has a counter tactic, the hard part is knowing which one to use. The main disadantage to the vanu is indoor combat which can be easly solved buy picking guys off outside the base and taking their weapons to even the odds while inside. (god damned that was a long edit)
