I'd get the Prowler, or if you are a grunt get the Marauder.
The Prowler is very effective against both infantry and vehicles when loaded with 3 guys. The chaingun is far more effective against aircraft and footsoldiers due to its arc and ROF. The cannon is still effective since it fires quickly and with little arc (cannon shells fly pretty straight). At range, a Prolwer is more effective than a Vangaurd unless the Van has a very capable gunner (basically because you know you are going to miss 3/4 shots so being able to fire more often maximizes the damage over time). Problem is that it takes up a whole other person to man the machine gun.... which lets you take on multiple targets though. Up close I'd say the Van would own because its lower profile, bigger gun, and more effective in most terrains (not that that was your question). The Marauder is nice for a grunt because you can wear reinforced and carry two other squadmates with you to towers. It has more than enough firepower to be defensive or even somewhat offensive on your way to the next objective. Having an extra spot to hold someone I think is actually a benefit over the enforcer since you typically get one when your squad doesn't have or want to use a gal or sunderer to move everyone. Doesn't have as much armor though. Do NOT get the lightning. Its a POS. It seriously needs way more armor (not firepower) before I would ever consider spending my 3 certs on it. You can break wind in its general direction and dent the armor. |

Overall i think the vanguard is the best , on most hillside battles with a good gunner the vanguard owns. I like the enforcer also, its strong, its fast and its got a good rocket launcher (hit and run attacks) . But then again im a NC biased piece of sh*t lol

It is kind of unfair that we get 300 extra armor with the Enforcer heavy buggy over the Marauder. Granted the Marauder has more firepower, but it also takes an extra person to operate and looks big.
Can understand that the Thresher has weaker armor since its a hover vehicle and weight is an issue according to the description of Vanu hover technology. The guns and "suspension" on it could use improvement though (it needs to hover over little cracks and bumps and stay stable). But I definitely concur that the Enforcer rocks if you are NC. It can climb like a mo'fo, has good armor, and the rockets shoot exactly where you point them (even if they are slow) and deal quite respectable damage against foot soldiers and vehicles alike. I just traded it in for the Sunderer though because I needed a vehicle I could transport my squad with that is more readily available than a galaxy. |
