If the devs decide to make the Scythe fly the way that the original ones did in Battlestar Galactica, it should be able to roll much more tightly than the other empires. Changing direction would be easier too, but the weapons and armor should be lighter to balance it. I imagine it to be similar the replacement for the Thresher but put in the air so that a skilled AA player could manage to lock onto the damn thing instead of only allowing the TR to lock onto that pesky ground vehicle.

I'm fine with all of this because the Reaver is the most heavily armored/armed and I bet that a good pilot could work their skills into making it the ultimate threat in the sky.

If you ask me effective speed tanking is part of the Vanu Sovereignty warfare philosophy.

I could agree with that. The ability to dodge incoming tank shells was one of the best parts of the mag.

Please for the love of all things holy, bring the Particle cannons into Planetside 2. Make it an option for medium/heavy vehicles and as an empire-specific upgrade for non-mobile turrets.

no

I always liked watching them run off scared after two or three hits from a particle cannon, realizing that they were no match for a skilled gunner who also wouldn't get motion sickness from those shaky-ass BFR's.

The downside of the VS week when it comes.. it wont be in 2 weeks because the Thanksgiving Holiday in the US falls that week.. will likely be a complete write-off. Probably be waiting till the end of November for VS unless they do 2 weeks in a row.

You sure they weren't more concerned about the shield that regenerates faster than it can be damaged? >_>

The weapons themselves do belong in the game though, properly balanced of course.

I'm not so sure about the particle cannon. That was the one that was basically the mag "cannon" but better right? Seems like giving that to the NC as an option would kind of kill the uniqueness of the two empires.

it was the classic NC-style heavy hitting round which wasn't accurate from range.

Standard shell rounds already do that though, so what's the point of adding the PC? The only thing I can figure is that it uses a projectile that travels in a straight line at high speed, and thus is more effective at long range. Which, historically, has been what the mag is supposed to excel at.
