I want to drive the Deliverer in Reinforced Armor - Page 2

Got my vote. I love that thing, but I love my reinforced armor more. When I can drive vehicle's like the SG in reinforced that have hefty firepower I'll have to take it first. The deliverer is a combat ride, and you should be able to take it into combat, and then bail, and continue fighting.

No way should it be drivable by reinforced. Every person in the game would then get one and battles would look like a battle of bumper cars.

If the goal is to give a feasible boost to the deliverer, make the guns slightly better.

Otherwise it serves its role as light infantry transport admirably.

So, basically, the argument is that if reif could drive the deliverer, everybody would drive it? Why then doesn't everyone drive all of the current reif-drivables into battle now?

Because those are the easiest things in the world to kill.

Deliverers actually are a legitimate vehicle that can travel across water, take a beating, carry other troops, and has multiple guns. Buggys are pretty much designed as hit and run vehicles, skirmishers, or single (2-3) person transport vehicles.

The deliverer is far superior.

The only way to know if reif-drivable deliverers would be the new Reaver would be to see it in action, but I think you are overestimating the change by quite a bit. And in any case, the whole point is that I do want to see more Deliverers in the game.

If reif-drivable makes too many, then they can change it back or up the cert cost to 4. I don't see why that would be a deterrent to making the change.

I'd pay 4 certs for that thing if I could wear reinforced.
