Before you talk about another Empire's weapons...

The assumption that everyone who talks about weapon balanced is ignorant seems a bit excessive. Personally, my burning, raw hatred for the Striker is the result of experience on both sides of the weapon. I have hated that weapon since the first day of retail - it wasn't nearly as ridiculous in BETA, but then again, not that many people seemed to use it in BETA.

The Vanguard is much better in skilled hands than a Magrider - the Mag is very newbie-friendly but a veteran crew suffers from lack of damage output. Vanguards with a clue make short work of Magriders. If your Vanguard is having trouble with Magriders, your crew sucks. I prefer the Vanguard over the other two tanks but I don't feel it's overpowered.

There's really only one situation in which the Magrider is at a gross advantage in a tank vs. tank situation, and enough people don't seem to realize it that I'll continue to use it instead of telling the other two empires about it

Prowlers are interesting. Having two gunners is a nice advantage, but the main reason the Prowler suffers is the huge turning radius and lack of manueverability.

I was reading and thought about soemthin...(I do realize this would make the game completely unbalanced therefore it is just an observation, not a suggestion) Since the magrider is a hovertank, why can it be defeated by mines? Unless of course, a piloting moron decides to get out over a mine(which could happen with morons :P) Just a random thought...

Prowler is the best tank imo, I have gunned in one I jacked and boy is that thing good. Vanguard takes so long between shots, and the 3rd gunner can put out nice extra damage. (NC Prowler + big fat open plain full of marching TR = WIN!)

Magrider really is not great, it is just so easy to jump in and use it as a lawnmower. It is no fun to be run over by some guy who you know is far less skilled then you, not to mention skilled Magrider drivers have nothing to do with that skill. Anyway, Magrider sucks, but it isnt overpowered, just not-fun-to-be-killed-by.... uhh... yeah....
