I actually liked the idea that the hover distance could change between a meter or two so there would be some low rock outcroppings that we could float over that would just piss off a Prowler and Vanguard.

Gotta say tho that if those graphs are right I'm a little irritated about the Mag's armour. We were told earlier this year that the Prowler was the fastets tank but that the Mag had more armour to make up for it. Now that doesn't appear to be the case.

IMO the fastest tank should have the weakest armour. Unless the Mag significantly outdamages the Prowler up close, all the Prowler would need to do is run straight for any Mag it sees, since the Mag can't outrun it and can't take as much punishment.

You gotta think tho that the Mag has the advantage of ALWAYS having it's frontal armor facing the enemy even when retreating, imo.
