Just do not be crying when I kill you with a shotgun. Be it from my JH or Max.

Vanu Sovereignty won't have their own week, they'll be the bonus content for major milestones in the "social networking space".

Looking forward to this theme hopefully we will see some NC vechs this time though

[Aaron]

Does anyone else here really want to see some air-to-air combat gameplay? That would be pretty awesome. Hopefully you can roll all the way around now.

Maybe only the Scythe will be able to do that ? It *should* be the most agile of the 3 empire specific air vehicle.

With all the praise they gave to the new physics engine I think it's very unlikely that any aircraft will be unable to roll.

Then again, results may vary, if you try it in a Galaxy you better have speed and altitude

If the devs decide to make the Scythe fly the way that the original ones did in Battlestar Galactica, it should be able to roll much more tightly than the other empires. Changing direction would be easier too, but the weapons and armor should be lighter to balance it. I imagine it to be similar the replacement for the Thresher but put in the air so that a skilled AA player could manage to lock onto the damn thing instead of only allowing the TR to lock onto that pesky ground vehicle.

I'm fine with all of this because the Reaver is the most heavily armored/armed and I bet that a good pilot could work their skills into making it the ultimate threat in the sky.

I agree. The scythe should be the most "air superiority" centric of the 3. Quicker and more agile with weapons with an advantage in air to air combat. The Scythe should be legitimately worrying to other pilot's when it makes an appearance on the battlefield; much as a squadron of reaver's would scare all the tankers. I like your thresher analogy. That thing could run circles around armor and even aircraft often had a hard time hitting it. If you ask me effective speed tanking is part of the Vanu Sovereignty warfare philosophy.

I could agree with that. The ability to dodge incoming tank shells was one of the best parts of the mag.

I always liked watching them run off scared after two or three hits from a particle cannon, realizing that they were no match for a skilled gunner who also wouldn't get motion sickness from those shaky-ass BFR's.

Please for the love of all things holy, bring the Gauss and Particle cannons into Planetside 2. Make it an option for medium/heavy vehicles and as an empire-specific upgrade for non-mobile turrets.
