Okay, I've Piloted every vehicle, and gunned on every vehicle, on all sides, even empire based. There IS no problem with any empire vehicle. They all have strengths and weaknesses. None of them are more powerful that the other, per say. Take for example the difference between the Mag, Prowler, and the Vanguard.
Mag has an excellent, almost light speed cannon that's pretty damn powerful against anything, crappy pilot gun, excellent manuverabilty.
Prowler has low manuverabilty, requires 2 gunners, but the Machinegun is powerful against infantry and Air, and the cannon is very powerful against vehicles and Infanrty.
Vanguard has medium manuverabilty, requires a gunner, Has an extremely powerful cannon against infantry and vehicles, and pretty good machinegun against infanrty. poor against air.
Which would you say is better?
The Van? Mag perhaps? The answer is neither. Each is the top of the hill, WHEN IT'S IN THE RIGHT AREA. Vanguard- tops against Vehicles and Infantry. Mag-Tops against Infantry and Seige, and pretty decent cannon against air, when it hits. Prowler-Tops against Air, Medium against Vehicles and Siege, and pretty damn good against infantry. You put 3 or 4 of the same together and you get a mobile artillery force. Nasty against anything that stands in the way. Neither is better than the other, Per say. It just depends on HOW you use it. Anyone driving around in a Prowler half gunned is just an Idiot. Anyone driving a Mag without a gunner is still decent, as it's good against Infantry. The forward gun may suck, as it's hard to aim and drive, but you don't need to shoot when you can run over 7 guys in one crack.
