Skyguard (AA buggy) [Merged]

[Mythos]

Hrm...I was hopeing for 4 flak cannons (TR max has two just so you know what I mean) that fired faster than anchored max and does about twice the damage...


Reavers must be removed permantally from viability

[wasupx]

the flak cannons will make this very effective. No radar footprint on projectiles, plus high speed/maneuvering=death.

I want anzio annie, or maybe just some V2 rockets... interesting that 1,000 years from now technology cant even match the capability of WWII era tech

[�io]

Hehe, ok when this comes out you come tell me if you can hit a moving target from a moving target with a non lock weapon all the while trying to evade said target's missile barrage.

[Deadlock]

i think if its ment to take out aircraft then reavers won't have that easy of a time taking them out "out on sight". I'm sure their armor is well equiped to deal with reaver missles and such.

And this is if they can geta beed ont he thing. They said it focused on speed and manuverability.

I think this thing will become the nat to annoy the already annoying flys.

[SandTrout]

The point of the skygaurd is to be able to avoid geting hit by the rockets, not take the damage from them.

Well with flak he would only need to shoot in the reaver's general vacinity...

[Airlift]

Relax Dio... We all know how much you hate the Reaver. I'm sure the AA buggy will be very capable against all the aircraft.

[MilitantB0B]

Hehehe, didn't know they already released to specs. Oh well.

[Tricky]

So lemme get this straight, (I cant see the pix, @ werk) but from the sounds of it, is it a Maruder with a AA Max arms in the back?

[Revenant]

Duel exhust pipes, and look at those rims

[Strygun]

I went ahead and merged the 2 threads about the skyguard, they're both talking about the same thing =)

[WritheNC]

I'm definitely going to be getting a skyguard. Its hard escorting ANTs in a lightning to defend against reaver attacks.

Also, its about initiative. A reaver could beat a skyguard if the reaver catches it with the gunner looking the other way. It works the other way around if a reaver flies over the hill and the gunner just happens to have the barrel pointed in the general direction.

I expect it to be very balanced and will probably be in concordance with what one of the devs said earlier in an interview about convoys being important with their future plans for the game.

[MilitantB0B]

Maybe tomorrow they will release pics and specs for the lodestar. That one I am really interested in.

YAY when this comes out n more worrying about reaver ambushes on you rANT convoy as long as you have a few skyguards around.....i cant wait to get this thing.
