I Love the Lightning...I Feel so Dirty.

Yep, that's right. I picked up the cert for this supposed tin can coffin and I love it. It has good weapons, good speed, and doesn't need a techplant.
GUNS: 75mm takes out infantry and MAX units fast (approx. 2 hits for an agile armor and 4 for a MAX unit. It also is great for chasing vehicles, since the Lightning is very fast for such a mean little number. The 12mm leaves something to be desired, but hopefully the Balance Pass will buff it up to useable standards.
SPEED: 75 kph. For reference, that's about as fast as a Harasser.
ARMOR: Not as bad as some think. Sure Strikers eat it up, but Strikers eat everything up. Once again, the Balance Pass will double the Lightnings armor (schwing!) and give the Striker that much-needed whack in the kneecaps.
TURNING: Actually this is the Lightning's biggest gimp. It has a terrible turning radius at high speeds. This means that you need to slow down a lot to make tight turns, which can be a problem considering the thing still blows up if you fall into a moderately-sized pit on Solsar.
So what do you think of this driving deathtrap?
