I'm of the opinion that the Vanu magrider is seriously weak compared to the other tanks.
Driving over water might be a great advantage except that so far there is no bridge combat anywhere to be seen. I also think that side strafing to avoid tank shells seems like literally trying to dodge a bullet as a MAX. No way you're going to do it. The vanu doesn't really have an advantage then, it's slower than TR, and has the weakest armor and gun damage of the three. However instead of making a magrider thread I'm making a tank balance thread. Please vote for whichever tank you think is weakest (or if you think tanks are well balanced) |

There's a reason why in PS1 magriders were the best tanks in the hands of higher skilled people. The nonexistent arc on the shots, coupled with strafing and a higher elevation, meant that magriders are the snipers of tanks, except with high damaging high explosive shells. Magriders camping vehicle exits from hills meant no ground or air vehicles.
Just don't go 1v1 a vanguard at 10 meters, and you should do fine. |

I said this in another thread, its not so much about the balance 1v1, its how they do in specific situations against eachother. Like Razicator said when at close quarters, a Vanguard will probably win. Give the magrider some range or some rivers and the magrider will probably win.

However, I think tanks will be fairly well balanced against each other. We really need to see 10-15 tanks with an infantry mix up to see how well they might be balanced |

In PS 1 you can dodge shells in a mag with strafing and probably will be able to do it in PS 2. You just have to keep yer distance, obviously you cant do it within 10 m of a vanguard but like someone said earlier you just dont get up close to the other empires tanks in a mag as you are a sniper tank.
With the drivers using the main gun i think we will see similiar gameplay traits to Dust 415 where people sit in tanks all the time and cain infantry. In that game you have to use rescources like in PS 2. Maybe in large scale combat we will see loads of tanks whoring kills and not going for the objectives. Whether thats good or bad, im not going to decide ![]() |

Way too early to really tell though, but historically, VS has always been middle of the road with unusual bonuses. |

Urban combat strafing is an advantage when trying to avoid damage too. Only the magrider can do that well and precisely. |

From what I've seen, all of the tanks seem a little too squishy at the moment.
