Not true at all. Any decent Magrider will stay far away from enemy vehicles when fighting them, making its nearly instant-hit main gun with its extreme accuracy far more effective than anything the enemy can throw at it. What good is the vaunted power of a fully manned Prowler's guns if the slow shells, fast/small target, fire arc, and whatever obstructions are in the way prevent most of your shots from impacting on or near your target? I've played with a friend as a Magrider team extensively on Markov, and the idea that the Magrider somehow lacks power against enemy vehicles is absolutely ridiculous, and I really hate it when people cite that as the reason Magriders can go on water or snipe air vehicles or whatever.
The above also applies to the VS/NC BFR gunner AV weaponry compared to the TR BFR gunner AV weaponry. It's sick how much better the NC's blue beams of death are than the TR ultra-slow shells and, to a lesser extent, the VS's BFR gunner AV weapon. If the projectile moves quickly and is very accurate (relatively speaking), there are very few things that can compensate for that. But, then, I guess the answer the devs would give is: 'Some Empires are meant to be better than others at certain things.' I just wish I didn't have to constantly deal with the other guys having all the "better at other things" weapons/vehicles.
