I can usually kill Vanu AV MAX with a locked down burster and still have 1/3 armor left.

Thats when the VS user is a dumbass and doesn't know how to aim.

Vanu Maxs are great. Their manuverability out in the open is totally deadly. Being able to jet up onto a tower or behind a large enemy force at a base is a huge advantage.

Get us inside however and things are a little different. We just bang our heads on the ceiling while we a pummeled by enemy weapons.

Outdoors I will take a Vanu MAX anyday. However, once things go inside I would probably prefer the NC maxs.

In the second case I agree. The MAX jumped and I just tracked him and kept firing at him with the burster. In the first case though, we were stationary, alone and I was locked down. Dual Cycler vs Vanu AV, All shots hit, we both died at the same time.

You have the best Anti-Air Max, I'm sure we'd all agree on that.
Your infantry max is the best outdoors in my opinion.

VS MAXs are hands down the best overall. Course there are some cases where i prefer other MAX's, like in a tower battle. I love to charge up the shield in scattermax and just walk up pumping the enemy support infantry to pieces. Yeye, it gets me killed but the mob whit deci's and other MAX's behind me usually manage to finish the enemy off.

But overall, definatle the VS max's. I ain't touching the TR MAX's whit a 20 foot pole, don't want to catch the suckyness.

Ok here's my opinion on what each empire's MAXs are the best.

TR DC: It's AV, great against MAXs, decent against Infantry and Vehicles.

NC Scatter: Simply AWSOME against infantry, not good against aircraft, or vehicles but when I see this thing I just take cover and pull out my Striker.

VS Comet: I think this is the AV one. It's great against vehicles and can do pretty damn well against infantry.

Now AA MAXs, I don't know if I can decide which AA MAX is better between the NC and VS.

Edit: Hey Nimbus I was just wondering, what's up with your Avatar?

the burster is pretty sweet, lockd down 1 can hold off an army of inf and air easy. infantry are scared to death of flck bursting down around them while they hide behind their rocks and walls, hehe. the quasar is a great max, i take out tanks w/ it. the DC can rip through inf just as fast as it rips through lightnings, hehe. the scatMAX kills all inf, and can beat the crud outta a max if it has the jump on it.

Exactly! I know quite a few comic artists, GD is one of them. I've got some guest art up on his site too. This avatar was originally meant just to be a placeholder but I haven't been able to find a better one yet. Plus people ask about it a lot.
By the way, OHP isn't always work safe, the guest art and the oekaki definately are not.

Back on topic I think all the AA MAX are really good. I find it a bit unfair that you leave the burster out. In my opinion it is actually the best AA MAX. It doesn't have lock on but it doesn't need it. The blast radius is large and a single clip will destroy reavers as well as moquitos. Last night I was actually able to kill 2 reavers at once with it. Yes, I am dead serious, they were flying side by side and they both blew up right in front of me. Thats something none of the other AA MAX units can claim.

Sorry I did something similar with the VS Starfire. Two NC reavers flying together came charging at me while I was sitting on a hill and I started shooting the first one as I jumped. Half way into my jump he explodes, I reload in midair, turning at the same time and took out the second reaver as he passed below me. That was one sweet victory.

The VS AA MAX is the best in the game, without question. They're very prevalent, they have plasma damage (which is probably why they're everywhere) and they can jump out of the way of rockets, tank shells, machine gun fire....you get the idea.

sutserikeru · 2003-12-08, 02:03 PM

yeah, but for some reason they cant dodge getting hit with those jets, ive even tried jumping when he was 20m away, and i still got hit

Queensidecastle · 2003-12-08, 03:03 PM

All 3 Vanu MAXs are just sick. I am glad tho because they used to be the worst so it is really nice to see Vanu get some luvins. It is my firm opinion that the Vanu is the only Empire where the Uni-MAX cert is worth the points. In fact they are so good I actually have that cert
