Reaver Vs. Mosquito

[AngryDrCowHead]

thx guyz for the info, but where r the moving targets in VR zone??!

Both are good at different stuff, I am a full time pilot and use both many times every day.

I prefer the reaver for almost everything though, just so much more firepower. The skeeter is good if there are tons of AA MAXs and if your attacking a lightly defended base, so the turrets dont hit you.

I could right pages on air combat, but it is easiest if you just get aircav and try them both.

Sorry, there aren't any yet. Gotta stick with the stationary ones

If both piolets are skilled, a skeeter should win in a 1-on-1 dogfight.

If both piolets are unskilled, the reaver will win.




I am an unskilled piolet, but I still have fun flying. I'll use the skeeter as a transport (kinda like a 1-man Galexy) and the Reaver when I want to try and do some damage before crashing.

Pilot != Piolet

I disagree with what some of the people have said about the Mosquito's ability to own Reavers. This is true for pretty much anyone who is just starting to learn to fly, but if you practice your turns and speed control, Mosquitos will be no problem for you. The Reaver's got stronger machine guns and heavier armor, and if you've got a charged shield that just bends the odds in your favor ever more.

I disagree, Ghost. Skeeter pilots can practice speed control as well.

IMO, the vehicle doesn't matter. 9 times out of 10, in 1vs1 A2A the better pilot wins. I personally prefer the skeeter's speed and maneuverability for A2A, it gives you a few more options tactically, but I've downed many skeeters with the reaver.

For A2G, reaver (with nearby resupply) rocks in general. Skeeter is excellent in an "air sniper" role, though. That 12mm cannon is like a sabre to the reaver's club.

[Vick]

People who think that skeeters own skilled reavers pilots are dumb.

I dont fear skeeters at all in my reaver, they die very quickly. A good reaver pilot will kill the good skeeter pilot every time.

I get lots of AA kills in my skeeter, but that is because 95% of pilots suck ass.

the reaver use 2 have 24 rockets per clip, and had farther range. U use 2 be able to bombard a vech term from 400m in the air (the max height of aircraft) and not get shot by AA......ahhhh those were the days

Reaver Vs. Mosquito? Who cares. A Liberator ownz both of them and hell, can do it at the same time

[Rbstr]

I destroy libs for most of my AA reaver kills, there like little flying coffins, i get the lib they all eject then i fly to the ground and rocket them, or i shoot one doen the lands in the middle of a cortyard and kills a fully loaded galaxy

[Kaymon]

If you're looking for use, I fly into a base battle with my reaver, taking out turrets and other hard targets. Once the battle moves inside, I switch to Mosquito and give radar to the troops inside.

[Fenrys]

Does mosquito radar make an nme infil's name pop up, or did I notice that because of the Adv. Targeting implant?

[Kaymon]

It'll do that, but they're changing that (in their oft said) "soon".
