AV MANA turret video

[Jaybonaut]

I just whipped this up real quick - not meant to be as complete as my 'Be Less Derp @ Planetside 2' videos:

[Figment]

I noticed that last one was almost from the rear and the other from the side, does it matter many rounds if you hit from the rear or front?



Either way - 3 shots? O.o'

A magrinder is also almost dead from two hits to the rear (if he is not getting repairs very fast). In most combat scenarios two hits to the rear will be enough.

I just saw a guy using one in game.
It looks fun and the range is pretty good it seems.

I want one now.

[Hamma]

Nice! Hadn't gotten a chance to see it myself yet. Cool that you can guide it.

[DirtyBird]

Thanks for the video.
Now if they can add the option (certs) to have a camera on the front of it as you guide it...

[Jaybonaut]

I sure hope additional loadouts come soon. I was already at that point with the release of the SMGs...

[NotTheMomma]

Wow. Infiltrators that hack a vehicle turret and pull a tank inside a tower base are going to have a very abbreviated joyride.

These are shots to kill from someone named Atra on the official forums, I don't see why they can't be trusted.

Shots to Kill: This was done on a VS character with everything stock (Vehicle values are for front/side/rear where they apply)

Magrider: 5/4/3
Lightning: 4/3/2
Flash: 1
Sunderer: 4
Scythe: 2
Liberator: 6

ACE turrets: 1 (if turret is being manned, it 1 shots the gunner and leaves turret at ~50%)
infantry-
direct hit: 1
close splash: 2
medium splash: 4
max: 2 (1 shot does about 75% dmg)
NMG shielded heavy: 1

Ooooh!

Depending on range, you're as deadly to a sniper as he is to you.
You're as deadly to an enemy AV turret as he is to you.
It is a guided AA missile, more powerful than an annihilator.
With 75% damage it will likely get a kill shot on a max much of the time

AND it is anti-tank as well. It sounds too good to be true.

You are only as deadly to a sniper as he is to you if he's standing in front of you up to 20m away.
You are in no way as deadly to an AV turret as it is to you since the AV turret will 1 shot you while you will not.
It is in no way more powerful than than the annihilator since it can't hit anything in the air that is not standing still.
It will only get a kill shot on a MAX in close range where the MAX can kill you long before you aim and guide your rocket to him. Not to mention other infantry.

Should remove lock on launchers and make them guided like this >.>

That would be amazing.

I agree. These are a lot of fun to use and with practice, the user can damn near hit things around corners.
