The Sunderer - Does it Blow Chunks?

Veteran · 2004-02-17, 02:27 PM

Do you think the Sunderer blows goats? Some people think its huge profile coupled with its weak guns and poor maneuverability make it an insult to the tradition of troop transports.

What do you think?

Slow, unwieldy, and the main guns make a very strange combination. I don't see much use for it most of the time.

The tech requirement is the real kick in the ass. Hell, I'd rather have a Deliverer any day of the week; those 20mm guns chew through enemies like Oprah chews through a fruit cake.

The recently nerfed the acceleration and speed of the big bus. It's kinda slow and cumbersum now. And any beginner grunt can hit this moving barn with a decimator.

Needs. 1 main 75 MM cannon 1 20 MM machine gun. and a slight speed buff.

Wouldn't it be bad-ass if the Sunderer's onboard MAXs could fire their weapons from a loading gate in the Sunderer's rear?

The party bus would be mighty deadly.

I say let the passenger closest to the front of the vehicle in each passenger compartment fire a mounted 50 cal.

It transports people and its decent at taking out wall turrets (and drawing fire).

Hell, how 'bout every passenger gets a gun slit to fire out from? That'd be sweet

I don't know about you guys but I use the death bus all the time. weather its transporting grunts or sweeping mines off a bridge fight the sundy is a great piece of equipment.

It's great as part of an armor column (tanks and AA). Its armor provides protection, and the 75mm cannons suppress, but like anything in the game, the whole is more than the sum of the parts.

its not that bad but its not of much use in the Hart everyware game we have.

The 75 is the same things thats on the lighting and it not that bad, but the firing arc sucks you can't hit things 10m away from you

Give every passenger their own 20mm chaingun. Otherwise, it's a waste of a vehicle.

FlakMan is on point here. Crew vehicles should give everyone a role. "Cargo" isn't a role that I consider compatible with a high-energy FPS.

Dharkbayne · 2004-02-17, 04:34 PM

Aye, let us shoot out of the vehicles!

EarlyDawn · 2004-02-17, 04:34 PM

Yeah, chainguns for the passengers would be awesome.
