getting sick of misuse of Mobil stations?

Latly ive been seeing ams driving around tryin to run people over instead of doing what its meant to do .. and really its just pissin me off U cant kill them because they are so damn strong and they just go repair it and do it all over again...

I think spork said something about this in the OF... something about across the board looking at the "Carmegedon" feel of the game.

But to be honest, I've done this...

Nothign short of as Orbital takes out an AMS fast, so it's a great mower... just a pain in the butt to get up to speed

I love these guys. I'm usually in my lightning when they come cruisin by and it makes for some great chases. It only takes about 1 and 1/2 magazines of 75MM cannon rounds to take them out. It's a lot of fun shooting them on the run. I've lost track of the number of AMSs I've hunted down this way.

Yeah, the mag has the hit box and the stafe, BUT when you hit a max, or infantry with the AMS it does NO damage. You dont even hear the driver go " UHHGGG"

I was on Forseral in my AMS driving across the open field north of Anu, and the NC were zerging the base, so I plow across the open field and got 57 kills and only took 1/4 damage.

The madness has to end.

Becareful what you ask for.


You might get it.

I'd wager that the reason for the AMS's mega armor is due to the fact that it's basically a support vehicle. Cept for running over people, it has no offensive capability at all. It's been posted to make the AMS more fragile unless it's deployed. This is not the answer, nor is it a good idea.

Sure, getting run over is a pain in the Ass. But hey, it should be a lesson not to run around in a battle field setting without vehicle support. The only aspect of being run over that I agree should be addressed is, when standing behind a tree, a rock or around a corner and you get pasted. This is irritating to the say the least.

A better solution than increasing the vulnerabiltiy may bee to make the thing slower or more noisy, or both. Give some time and warning so folks have a better chance of getting out of the way.

I think it's fine the way it is. I mean...c'mon. A vehicle like that is going to be heavily armored. Only an idiot would make an AMS with no armor. Secondly, a vehicle that large and heavy is definately going to kill somebody if it runs them down. Leave the AMS the way it is. Get your own vehicle and blow it to pieces. I love chasing them in my reaver.

I can't believe that I am hearing a Vanu complaing about the misuse of vehicle to run people over! I have three words for you:

Magmower
Magmower
Magmower

Every other Vanu has a cert for one and drives around with no gunner...just running people over. And if it's not the magrider, you are spamming people with the lasher...what other weapon can shoot through a wall and kill you?

And please don't complain that they "nerfed" the lasher...cuz it sure doesn't seam like it from the receiving end!

I hate to say this...but it's a little hard to feel sorry for you.

No, but then I don't put myself in the position to be run over.

I know what I am getting sick of though:
Yeah, the mag has the hit box and the strafe,
There is nothing wrong with the Magrider's hitbox. There has never been an issue with the Magrider's hitbox and, unless the Devs fubar something, there will never be an issue with the Magrider's hitbox. It's a laggy driver. It's always been laggy drivers. Thank you, please drive through.
