Vanguard 2nd Gun:
Enforcer ML85-by far my best purchase so far, great AV damage with lock on capability at long range, decent AI damage also but not a huge splash but it has a good rof. Last night with a competent gunner and a sundy support we managed to fend off and kill a vs armor column of 4 mags and 2 sundys. Buy this right away if your NC.

So far the only vehicle weapon i have bought is the HMG for the flash. Good times ...

Saron HRB (Magrider): Absolutely awesome. Best gunner weapon for the VS period.

Proton II (Magrider): Fairly worthless. The shots travel very slowly and do almost no AV damage. It will kill infantry in 2 hits and has decent splash damage, but if they are moving at all, you'll never hit them.

Supernova VPC (Magrider): This is my default weapon of choice. It still seems to do decent damage to armor, despite being an HE round. It's just frustrating that only 50% of the shots seem to do any damage these days, but that's a bug for every weapon.

Lightning AP: Pretty good. I can't afford the HEAT round yet, but this is a decent compromise. You have to hit infantry dead on to kill them, but you will tear up enemy lightnings and stand a chance against MBTs.

The Helberd for the Prowler suxor. (cost 10000 aurixium) The travel time on it is just way too slow and the bullet drop is very heavy.

Finally got the M18 Rotary (Primary Weapon - Mosquito)

This is definitely the best primary gun for the mosquito. The rate of fire on this thing is unbelievable high, along side its bullet speed. About 60 bullets takes down a fighter; twice that many take down a lib. The biggest negative is definitely the small mag size of only 30 yet the reload time is about the same as the Needler. Seems to be pretty effective against armored targets too.
Definite buy for any mossy ace. Basically, the Rotary effectiveness in the sky makes the A2A missiles obsolete.

The Kobalt or the Basilisk?

Because I was thinking about saving up to replace my Basilisk with the Kobalt... until I helped take down one Manmower and finished off another!

Ironically, I once told another person on the Beta forums that this wasn't a viable tactic...

P525 Maraduer for the Prowler aiming is a bit off. If you look behind you the up down aiming becomes inverted. This makes it impossible to aim up and down if you try to shoot something on the side. And as it is a mortar it would be a good idea if you could aim up....

Mortar for the Sunderer: never used it bc i was driving but my gunner said it was a one shot kill on infantry with direct hit, arc is petty intense on the shot though. It also seems it's not a viable basilisk substitute for av although i have not tested enough to be sure.
