I really enjoy seeing BFRs in Planetside. They look neat, they act differently, and they fit the genre of the game very well. They kind of bring me back to the 80s TV era when I was a kid. With that in mind, I'd like to humbly suggest the following:
Please add BFRs to Planetside 2 as an
alternate version of the "mid sized tank", such as the Magrider, Prowler, and Vangaurd.
Numerically, a BFR and "mid sized tank" would be identical, with the same hitpoints, shielding, and firepower. They would also be acquired in the same manner at a vehicle terminal. However, a BFR would sacrifice horizontal movement speed for the ability to jump-hover. Hovering would use a resource like Stamina, making it a tactical aspect of play.
MAXs are nifty as well, but something deep within me giggles when he sees BFRs in action!
