Ahh, you had a Marauder with you. Also known as the real TR Main battle tank.

As someone who drove the Prowler throughout beta with a good crew and now only drives the Maruader I've gotten more successful tank kills in it, had less trouble getting killed by AV weapons and overall have been more successful driving our heavy assault buggy. The weapons on it are better and easier to aim.

I agree the Marauder is def a kick ass vehicle. With the right driver you are extremely lethal.

About the TR being nerfed out of the game I would have to disagree. The MCG up close is lethal, and if ur not good at it, then just loot a JH. Just about EVERY NC has one. I like to carry a MCG in every loadout, I mix it with the Thumper, Cycler and Shotgun.

The Max cycler is total shite now tho.

If TR is nerfed out of the game, you should all go help VS, especially on Emerald. Twice yesterday they were down to one base left. Apparently they were all ready nerfed out of the game a long time ago.

The other day the Terrans on Emerald were reduced to three bases. On Emerald, the VS are in general doing better than the Terrans. Our Zerg is, unfortunately, generally incompetent.

The Striker is a great av weapon. The cycler is a great medium assault weapon. The chaingun is the worst HA weapon, but it still chews through people under the right circumstances and I see no shortage of people using it. The repeater is one of the best pistols in the game. Their AV max is still a force to be reckoned with, and I see no shortage of them. Their AI max is the best defensive tool in the game, bar none. Their aa max does its job. The prowler could be improved, while the marauder is the best heavy buggy.

All it all, the Terrans are a fine empire. Saying they've been 'nerfed out of the game' is breathless hyperbole, especially if you have nothing to back it up with.

Amen to that. If a slight nerf to your MAXs, "Nerfs you right out of the game" If what you said is true, that means that your entire attacking force must have been based on MAXs (By the by, the TR MAXs are still the best MAXs in the game, just not by much). Honestly, I don't see how you can say that TR has been nerfed out of the game.

What's pissing me off is that I've played NC on emerald sense BETA... and got back on as NC on emerald on release day.

Now I'm to the point of thinking, get rid of the freaking jackhammer... remove it from the game! Jus to get all the stupid x-TR players to go back to being TR. I'm so sick of thousands of incompetent NC players. I like many others felt the TR MAXs were a bit too good at everything, but I wish to god they had Never nerfed 'em... I liked playing against other forces that outnumbered, and outgunned.

My only hope is that all the poser jag-off wannabes will go to VS now and leave us loyal NC alone!

As for the TR being gone... NAH, I've gotten into several good fights recently with the TR... they still fight good when they actaully show up to fight. The thing is you now rarely see anyone below BR 14.

And the prowler does suck... return its ROF to what it was in BETA... then it had a chance!

[Stimulate]

Its not that we've been nerfed out of the game.. its that most of our peple have left for NC.

[MilitantB0B]

Not on Konried, NC still has the least amount of people last time I checked (Just last night). Thats why I love konried.

[SumYungGui]

hold on, hold on. lemme get this straight. you say since you were 'nerfed' by having your ANTI-VEHICLE MAX take an extra two or three bullets out of his inventory in about half a second of fire time to kill infantry, and your anti-infantry MAX's blast radius (which NO OTHER EMPIRE gets on their AI MAX!) took an ever so slight nerf to make the damage actually tone down according to distance from the center of the blast rather than being 100% damage across each and every single infantry he manages to cram in his blast radius, you're now nerfed out of the game?

good god, this man needs an injection of Vanu play-time, STAT!

[Malodorous]

Nerfed out of the game? I really have no idea what this guy was thinking when he made this post, but he needs to put down the bong, and step away from the computer.

Yes...with the exception of the Marauder, all of the Terran-specific vehicles suck. Bad. There is no question we got hosed there. And no, the Maxes are not running rampant like they did in the beta....but come on....it used to be ridiculous...you could hop in a DC Max and own everything that came at ya.

Frankly, I think for the most part, the game is levelling out nicely. The MCG is still underpowered I think, though not by much. And yes, I agree with the majority of other non-NC players, the Jackhammer is obnoxiously overpowered and deserves an immediate nerf.

That having been said, I don't think we are in any way nerfed out of the game. It gets terribly old, going to do battle with 65 guys weilding Jackhammers in a base...but eventually SOE will recognize the inequity of that weapon and nerf it a bit. Until then, I just keep one or two in my locker for just such ocassions.

[OneManArmy]

well since everyone decided to make the long post I'll keep it short.


you sir, are a dum dum.

I hate to nitpick, mal, but there are only two empire specific vehicles. You're treating it like there is an entire set of underpowered vehicles, when really it is just the tank.

[Hamma]

Yea, just the prowlers sucks.. its supposed to be the most heavily armored vehicle in the game.. but it isnt.

The PROWLER is the largest main battle tank. Having the most armor for a tank and a 360-degree capable turret with dual 100mm heavy cannons, the Prowler is certainly able to devastate many targets in short order. The secondary gunner is able to control a dual rotary chaingun, which is a small turret atop the primary turret. Naturally the sheer size, weight and firepower of this tank makes it slower than any of the main battle tanks

lies.
