Hey
OK, so as we all know, you will not need to put any certs into aquireing all vehicles in game. This of course means that everyone can pull aircav or other, cheap type of transporation like the Flash. With this given, why would the sunderer ever be used as a transport. What does it have to offer to the troops to make it a viable option? We know what it lacks, speed and survivability. |

Sundys can sneak into places, where as a galaxy is flying high above everything. Sundy is Surprise! Galaxy is Hey FUCKERS!

It's got resupply capabilities... possibly (probably) even superior to the MAST deployable. Too bad it doesn't get a shield like its spiritual predecessor, the Jericho Mobile Point Base.

I'll be building a cert spec for a Sunderer, with the abilities it has, even defensive groups will find them so useful. Resupply option, full squad transport and decent movement speeds, complete with the longer (developer) term plans for certing variants later in the game, they'll become a mainstream unit as the game expands.

Wait. The SUNDERER. The giant armored transport with defensive guns mounted upon it... lacks survivability?
Also consider the fact that, while a flash is fast... you're just sitting out in the open. Not surrounded by 3 feet of solid steel. |

This topic was not meant to question the sunderer's viability in general, only as transport vehicle. This is important. It will obviously be a very useful support vehicle, but how does it fare as a mass transport when you can have everyone roll their own Flash/mossy/whatever. |

The flash has so little survivability you can die from hitting a tree. Once you get 30+ dudes all flashing towards a base, you're nigh guaranteeing that they're not going to get there at the same time, and some may not make it at all. (Though I'd LOVE to see that and could see, with practice, a team of people using such tactics for quick-strike infantry.)
Of further import is the design of the bases. A Sunderer is capable of ramming its way INTO the base and dropping off its payload under cover, bursting through the front lines. That being said, Galaxys are the best and Galaxy pilots are the best people. and PDog, who says my Galaxy can't sneak?
