Buggies


Since there is a tank thread I figured the buggies needed some loving as well.

As an NC I just got the enforcer cert recently, and every time I get in I think of Mad Max

I find the enforcer to be less useful against infantry when compared to the vanguard, but more useful against tanks and other vehicles due to its increased maneuverability, and relatively high damage per shot (as well as having no projectile arc).

Enforcer, hands down, the extra person in the Marauder ends up being a liability almost as often as it's helpful.

not really, threee people in marauder on Teamspeak are far more effective the pounder guy can concentrate with max units armor, and units further away while the gunner can take out infantry at close range while keeping in contact and keeping an eye out but saying that the enforcers do rock

I think the assault buggies serve different roles. I absolutely love the Marauder. Its a great vehicle and can really do some impressive things with the right driver and crew. But its best suited for Anti Infantry more than anything. Whereas the Enforcer is better suited for AV.... AMSs, Ants, Maxes, etc.

Im not sure what the Thresher is good at -- I havent had any seat time in one.

Harasser.

Simply because of all the pics I have featuring a freshly mowed down corpse and a flipped buggy.

The harrasser's ability to stay off radar makes it good choice when soloing, or entering thru the backdoor. The Enforcer is good for AV, and the maruader is good for anti-infantry. I haven't tried the thresher, don't know who uses it. I didn't know you could drive hte skyguard in reinforced. If this is true, I'm getting one.

Harasser not on radar? I think you mean the Mosquito. Also, since I first played the game I have only seen two threshers.

One time I saw an NC thresher! The VS thresher is almost legendary in its rarity, so seeing a jacked one was a once in a lifetime event. I totally flipped out when I saw it too as it was before the buggy buff. I got some good screenshots though, too bad I don't have or feel like getting a host.

If there is a decent gunner in an enforcer it's pretty decent against infantry. From observation, not hard data, it seems that one direct rocket hit kills a reinforced, and two near misses with splash have the same effect.

maybe I'm wrong, but I know that unmanned wall turrets never shoot at a harrasser, unlike the other buggies.

You know now that I think about it, when I had a Harasser I never got shot at by turrets. Although, on the vehicle page it says that the Mosquito is undetectable by radar, if this was true for the Harasser they would of said so.

The HARASSER has room for a driver and a gunner. Both people sit in an open-air compartment that affords little protection, but lightens the vehicle to increase its speed. The passenger position has a mounted 12mm rotary chaingun that can be used to "ride shotgun" in an anti-infantry role.

Where did you find your info Teffy?

I think its in-game, look at the help menu on vehicles or start a new character and hop in a harrasser in the VR training.

the harraser is good for getting 2 PPL from one spot to another, and can be used as a mobile 12mm Rotary Chaingun if solo.
The Skyguard is also good for this, and also has Flak cannon, but I see more PPL use Harraser then the Skyguard, and the Skyguard handles just as good as the Harraser. but I can not remember ,but I think the Harraser is faster then the Skyguard
