I KNOW, and their HANDHELD!!!

Cheer up Vanu MAX, you Gundam now!

The harasser with with a new AV MAX or a Phoenix user are going to dominate tanks lol. With this unexpected AV MAX buff plus the next wave of buggies, they're gonna have to do something to bring tanks back from obsolete.

It's like they're making it so people will want them to buff tanks, and the only way they can ever do that is if they also make them dedicated driver/gunner. They also need to go ahead and remove the rear crit bonus on MBT's and Lightnings already. They gave it a good try but they should've done it to every vehicle or none at all.

TR burster + lockdown will make me never want to fly my Reaver or Lib again unless they buff Comp. Armor. It can kill an ESF in under 4 seconds right now.

NC Riot Shield is pretty cool, little buggy in that it sometimes won't let you fire when you undeploy it.

MAX flamethrowers are visually awesome, will be interesting to see how they work on live.

MAX delayed grenade launchers that remind me of the Original PS1 TR Pounder are epic. But I bet those get nerfed for the same reasons the original Pounder did.

MAX AV weapons are interesting and will be the bane of any vehicle. The NC MAX's are guided like the Engi AV turret.

Finally, the Harasser is freaking awesome. Handles great, love the cert options for it, and the rumble seat is cool. I am surprised they want to let MAX's in it though, I think it's a little overkill and might prove OP in the end.

I'm of the opinion that the Harasser should have the same pool of weapons that the Sundy can choose from. Then have the Thresher, Marauder, and Enforcer be able to choose from the MBT weapon pool when those come out.

Yeah... That thing is going to get tweaked a lot before it gets officially released.
Increasing three stats by forty procent... You're supposed to be developers here, use some common sense.

I dunno...seems quite balanced and fair to me. Still I'm sure this will be tweaked for Test server is Test server.

Ive been saying to my outfit mates for weeks that the buggys would just be over powered or not worth pulling. There just isnt a gap for them to fill other wise.

In there current form if your playing in squads there will be no point pulling a prowler when you can pull a vulcan buggy with a dual burster on the back.
At 90khp its allready faster than a prowler with max racer chasis so can get the Vulcan into the ranges it needs to engage and out of trouble quicker.
You can have a dual burster on the back to deal with air, and your in a fast and manouverable vehicle so getting the angles wont be a problem.
And then finaly you remove the ass shot weakness so the buggies are actualy more resilient than the mbts.

Hence why it is on the test server, go check it out, get a feel for it. Send up your comment, let the devs know hey this thing is OP and invulnarable. But from what Im reading a buggy with full armor and two engies and a max will perform like a damn tank.
