Just how fast is a Lightning?


The general description says fairly fast, but that doesn't help much. Is it as fast as the buggies, or is its speed relative to the heavy tanks?

I'm not sure if anyone can answer this question - beta and all - but if you can, great.

In some video I saw I think it was matching the speed of the NCs heavy buggy.

If your being sarcastic and are talking about a lightning bolt, well it should be traveling alot faster than 550 mph seeing as it's faster than sound waves moving through air.

Slightly off topic (but not much)
Does anyone know how the speed of things like reavers and mosquitoes compare to the ground vehicles?
I'd assume faster but...
