[Riekopo]

Does not look cool.

[Sifer2]

It's a bulldog turret on a tripod lol.

[OCNSethy]

Our tanker's lives just got more interesting. Lets hope our sniper buddies can help us out

[NapalmEnima]

One nice thing about the lack of a shield is that you don't draw so much attention to yourself... until you fire. But deploying a new one doesn't cost anything 'cept a little time.

Stick and move.

[Jaybonaut]

Yep agreed. I think I'll get it next week.

NEED MOAR LOADOUT SLOTS.

[Carrionghoul]

Oh man, thanks for the quick preview. Now I know I want one!

Take my money SOE....

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chewy]

I went and made a crap compare video of the AI and AV Mana turrets. It should be up sometime tomorrow after I get around to uploading it.

Shots to Kill: This was done on a VS character with everything stock (Vehicle values are for front/side/rear where they apply)

Magrider: 5/4/3
Lightning: 4/3/2
Flash: 1
Sunderer: 4
Scythe: 2
Liberator: 6

ACE turrets: 1 (if turret is being manned, it 1 shots the gunner and leaves turret at ~50%)
infantry-
direct hit: 1
close splash: 2
medium splash: 4
max: 2 (1 shot does about 75% dmg)
NMG shielded heavy: 1

Ooooh!

Depending on range, you're as deadly to a sniper as he is to you.
You're as deadly to an enemy AV turret as he is to you.
It is a guided AA missile, more powerful than an annihilator.
With 75% damage it will likely get a kill shot on a max much of the time

AND it is anti-tank as well. It sounds too good to be true.

Looks to me they're just wanting to test controllable rockets before they release the Phoenix ES rocket launcher

You are only as deadly to a sniper as he is to you if he's standing in front of you up to 20m away.
You are in no way as deadly to an AV turret as it is to you since the AV turret will 1 shot you while you will not.
It is in no way more powerful than than the annihilator since it can't hit anything in the air that is not standing still.
It will only get a kill shot on a MAX in close range where the MAX can kill you long before you aim and guide your rocket to him. Not to mention other infantry.

Notice how its just the Bulldog ripped off a sundie and a tripod/AI mana controls duct taped to it lol.

Its a good new addition for Infantry AT. HUGE anti magrider boost for TR/NC.

But not worth $7. They should atleast make it 250 or 500SC.. Especially since its not even a new model just recycled parts

[Mietz]

Because we needed tanks to go down faster and engineers to have more AV weapons.

Seriously, why not leave AV to the HA?
Why does every class need to have all this shit if I can switch to any class at any time?

Will this homogenization of classes ever stop?
What will be next? Heal gun for HA? Cloak for LA?

Can we please stop adding this completely OP shit to the game?

Maybe so people have more options of what class to play in a situation rather than being forced to play HA to take on vehicles?

Besides, we knew this was coming, we saw it in beta. You're a bit late with the whining.
