Tank Vrs Tank Vrs Tank Vrs Tank!

[Tobias]

There are currently four tanks in the game:
the

Lightning
Source: Common Pool
Type: Light Tank
Role: Attack & Escort
Primary Weapon: 75mm Cannon
Secondary Weapon: Light Rotary Chaingun
Handling: Good

The Lightning is a single seated mini tank. Fairly fast, but only lightly armored, Lightnings are suited to running escort or in packs. It is outfitted with a 75mm cannon as its primary weapon, and is also equipped with a secondary light rotary chaingun. Both weapons are mounted on a forward facing turret that offers a limited field of fire to the driver.

The only light and only common pool tank,

----------------------------------------------
Then there is the:

Prowler
Source: Terran Republic
Type: Heavy Tank
Role: Heavy Assault
Primary Weapon: 100mm Cannon
Secondary Weapon: Dual 12mm Rotary Chaingun

-------------------------------------------------------------
then Of course we have the:

[Vanguard
Source: New Conglomerate
Type: Medium Tank
Role: Heavy Assault
Primary Weapon: 150mm Cannon
Secondary Weapon: 20mm Recoilless Cannon
Handling: Average

The Vanguard is the main battle tank of the New Conglomerate. Generally well balanced, the Vanguard brings decent speed, solid armor, and hefty firepower to the field. The main turret, which houses both a 20mm and 150mm cannon, is capable of a 360� pivot, giving the gunner complete attack coverage for the driver.

--------------------------------------------
Last but not least, or maybe it is, we have the:

Mag-rider
Source: Vanu Sovereignty
Type: Heavy Tank
Role: Heavy assault

(On a note this tank is the only thing about the Vanu I dont like )








-------------------------------------------



How do you think the tanks will do against one another, what advantages do they have over each others, and why get a two person tank over a two person buggy, or visa versa?

What's wrong with the Mag-Rider?

Strafing??? No wait! thats a cool thing. Uh...? I give up.

[Tobias]

I Just dont like it.

[Streamline]

Well... do you have. I dunno... a reason?

[NeoTassadar]

Hey, I got promoted! Anywho, yeah, strafing, a few seconds of free travel over water (a little longer and you sink), don't have to worry about small ground obstacles (medium-sized rocks, etc.), and all-around better mobility.

[Tobias]

No, I dont have a reason, and I dont need one. And If I did have a reason I would lie and say I didnt, for if I had a reason it would prove that the design was flawed, but it is Vanu and thus that can not be. Stop with your questions.

[Saint]

It depends on the situation, say you are in a mag-rider and you are coming head on with a Vanguard. If the Vanguard connects you can say bye bye, but if you are in one of the smaller tanks you had better take advantage of its mobility. Same situation applys to the proweler, if a mag-rider pilot goes head on with a prowler, I'm sorry you are KIA.

It the smaller two tanks sneek up behind the Vanguard or get behind him, the Vanguard better have his hand on the eject button.

[�io]

I really doubt the other empire tanks can kill a mag-rider in 1 hit.

[Saint]

I didn't mean for you do get the impression that I meant one hit, but I am sure a Vanguard can kill a Mag-Rider in a few direct hits.

[Kalam]

Well if there is enough space to strafe, I doubt the Mag-Rider will be an easy kill.

While every Vanguard Gunner will have a hard time aiming on the Mag, the Mag can get some easy hits with his big centered main Gun.

Indeed I think the Mag-Rider seems to be a specific Tank Hunter.

[RCB_Ghost]

Am I the only one that notices that the TR Prowler is in the Heavy Tank catagory. With a 100mm Cannon, and dual 12mm Rotary Chainguns.

But the NC Vanguard is classified as a Medium Tank, with a 150mm Cannon and a 20mm Recoilless Cannon?

prowler VS vanguard-prowler in long distance and vanguard in short

mag-rider VS vanguard-vanguard in short distance and mag-rider in short since it can dodge the shots by strafing but in short I guess its easier for the vanguard to hit.

mag-rider VS prowler- dunno

oh and how big is the mag-riders main weapon?

[simba]

I have seen that ghost

TR tank is more heavily armored, as I recall. Ergo, heavy tank.
