People might hate the idea of the driver having control of the big barrels, but driving and shooting at the same time can be a real bitch in something that big, especially when you also have to consider angle of shot, placing your thickest armor TOWARDS incoming fire, etc.

And I still don't get this "now the Prowler won't need more people to be just as effective" non-sense

Like anyone USED the machine guns on the Vanguard, or that any Magrider pilot could actually ever hit anything with their crappy little pea shooter and NOT leave themselves horribly vulnerable.

As for buggies, good to hear. I just hope they can pack roughly as much firepower as a tank, they're just the "don't get hit, dish it out" play style of armor to the MBT's "weather the blows, dish it out" play style.

what you smoking?...the vanguard 20mm is good for hitng aircraft... the mag gun rapes aircraft...the prowler needs a 3rd gunner to take down aircraft...

Please keep all talking about the stuff we learned today in this threat here:

Let this threat sink into its grave, unless the Devs come along and answer some more stuff. If they do that, feel free to go crazy in here.

They better come answer some more questions. Power outage faking sons of bitches :P

I've never seen anyone use the 20mm, and I agree with the Mag Rail being awesome at taking down aircraft, it was that piece of crap driver gun that I was referring to. Don't think I've ever died to it once. They usually get within squishing distance before they do any real damage with it.

You would if you've played for more than a week

I've take 100's of reavers/mossies out with the vanguard 20mm's.

So you're saying it's used about once every week? That kind of reinforces his viewpoint.

Still 20X as often as the Prowler 12mm

To be completely fair, I don't fly, and I'm TR.

Am I really going to be paying attention to it shooting aircraft, or am I going to be fumbling for my launcher?

Could someone direct me to where the talk of the Lib being a 3 seater gunship is coming from? That conflicts with Higby's previous statements.

Friday Twitter Q&A:

Question: will the libbie be still a 3 man vehicle? Or will the pilot drop the bombs?
Brewko: The Liberator is a 3-Man Gunship, it's not a bomber like it was in in PS1.

Weird. During Napalm's lunch interview he specified them as two man. I can only presume the plan has changed.
