Some Newb Questions

[AmongstShadow]

Hello Guys,

I'm definitely new here, and to the entire Planet Side series. I hope to play in the beta with some of my friends, because this game appeals a lot to me. However, I have a few questions that I would like to ask those who have played the game, and have a rough idea.

1. I like to be a sniper. How realistic is it in this game? I've watched plenty of game play, and it looks pretty difficult to hit a target at a distance. Especially one that is moving.

2. Another thing is that my buddies and I would enjoy a covert operation to proceed deep into enemy territory. Perhaps capture something and defend, or just create a diversion. My question is that are these at all effective, and fun to play out?

3. I know you can't go prone, but can you at least crouch?

4. If I'm engaging into some tank vs. tank warfare, does it matter where I hit the opposing tank? I mean, some other games I've played it actually matters where you aim, because damage won't always be inflicted if you hit the toughest armor.

5. Is the role of infantry somewhat overrated if you can mass tanks+aircraft, at least when it doesn't concern capture points?

Thanks guys - those were just a few of my questions that I was thinking about
