I love this thing... it's almost criminal that it only costs 2 certs.

Let me start off by saying that among my friends and squadmates, i am considered the worst gunner ever. Yet i own on this damn thing.

I have a suggestion to infantry... if you see one of them, RUN! If i am deadly in it i would hate to see someone with skill using it.

All last night as i was driving along and I had infantry taking pot shots at me; i would just hit j and whammo they dead meat. At one time i was surrounded by 4 TR mini gunners shooting at me at once... I bolted down and waxed them all quickly.

They seem to have better armor than advertised and that gun is just plain evil. This vehicle makes the threasher look like crap. It can hover forever over water and has twice the damage ablity and much more manuverable than the threasher yet for 1 less cert.

I love this thing.

But why the need to nerf it if its common pool? and what could they do, make it a crappier gun? Oh well iguess that one would work actually. Also, in the manual it says it can deploy anywhere, even water, yet when it is tried, we cant seem to do it over water. Anyone know whats up with that?

You forgot to add it only takes one person to gun and drive unlike the Thresher.

I would actualy prefer to see the Switchblade moved to light tank and have its AV damage upped slightly. Seems to make more sence to me than puting it in ATV.

I'm actually glad about the Switchblade. One of my addition suggestions was a Mobile Turret. That's the Switchblade to a tee
