Dunno why I went TR, just read all the info on Planetside that I could find and after only a few day or so decided to go with the Republic **shrugs**

Ummm not to be the devils advocate but are they all going to equal out in the end more or less. Increased firepower = lower damage per bullet(TR). More damage per bullet = lower firepower(NC). Unlimited bullets = less damage or lower firepower or both. So I don't think anyone group is better I just think everyone is going to be TR because they can't aim and are going to compensate by firing tons of bullets instead.

TR = For those who can spray and pray
VS = Those with more precise aiming
NC = For those who like to point and click everywhere

In the end, the Vanu have what very well may be the most important attribute- mobility. It has been said many times under the tactics sections of these forums that it will be critical to be able to attack your opponent's base before he is able to attack yours, so that you gain initiative. Furthermore, if the Vanu are attacked, we will be able to respond to the threat far faster than our counterparts. it has been said that we will be at a disadvantage on open ground, but I think that will be one of out stronger points. The bulk of the other group's weapons are low accuracy, high rate of fire weapons, whereas the majority of the vanu weapons have littly recoil, allowing for longer and more accurate sustained fire while moving, and the ability to allow our troops to open fire before the other targets are able to. Combined with our superior speed, we should be able to have a major advantage.

Hmmm... I'm just extremely curious of how it will be, we're all just speculating really. But I get the feeling TR will be at disadvantage in some respects and as Archonxvi said here, VS will be very mobile giving them the edge in many situations. Heck I like a good fight... I remember someone saying "everytime I encountered a vanu I was fighting for my life". I kinda like that... for me it's a challenge, VS may very well dominate in some respects but they must have weaknesses too that we can take advantage of somehow. And remember that no matter how many people are in each Empire, each faction will have a continent somewhere where they are outnumbered, so it's up to you if you want to go with the pack players or fight outnumbered against a larger enemy force.

[Archonxvi]

Of course they have weaknesses- first off, if you ambush them, they all virtually instantly die. They have weaker armor, and close in they are not nearly as effective. Secondly, I do not think they will do as well indoors as the other groups, as it is far harder to maneuver indoors than it is outdoors, and the opponents will be able to brace themselves for you attack, making surprise virtually impossible.

All of the Vanu will have to rely on my god like use of the force blade. No other choice

i think VS will do nicely indoors...

Our laser weapons have the 'splash' damage, so you shoot an orb down a hallway, they cant dodge all the damage....


small little things that help.. evern though we have to be more precise to hit the target, fully, we still have that 'range' in which it'll hurt anyone, so it lessens how 'perfect' we have to be to at least hurt them...


Need to see how many weapons have that orb/splash damage though, would need it on more then 1-2 weapons for it to be a good 'ability'

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I think a combo of a plasma grenade/lasher will work well indoors.

[wunghee]

I think.........NC kicks ass!

In conclusion, all the empires are pretty much equal.

I just hope the VS MAX doesn't have that much less armor/firepower than the other 2 MAXs or they allow mid-air course corrections or it will suck compared to the others.
