Sunderer vs. Galaxy - Page 2

is it possible to jump out of the galaxy from low altitude while sustaining a minor drop damage? (i don't see any reason why not). or better yet, jump out from the galaxy into water and not sustaining any damage at all. woo i'm getting ahead of myself...

It is possible to jump out at high altitude and not take lethal damage. Beyond that we don't know yet.

Maybe a VS Max can use its jetjump when it jumps out and it wouldn't take much damage at all.

Weird, I don't think anyone mentioned this... I would think the most significant advantage would be that a sunderer doesn't have to land to deploy, it just has to slow down a bit (unless the passengers don't mind getting a little road rash

) which seems to be a major advantage.

We don't really have any idea about how much damage you take from bailing other than it won't kill you. We don't know rate of descent or how high off the ground the kinetic dampenamabobs kick in.

Airbourne deployment may be a terrifying threat to defenses, or it may be a laughable suicide attempt.

if you can drop a medic first it won't be so bad.

another point about the sunderer vs galaxy:

if the air route is simply not available due to heavy defense, air mob, or any other reason, i guess you'll have to transport via ground.

Galaxy king of the air.

its so big when im flying it ill probably just land on a platoon of enemy ground troops to kill them

They both have goods and bads, like each faction, each weapon.

Its hard to say, they both own, so lets leave it Sun: 1, Gal: 1.

Personally, I figure that the Sunderer has better MAX transport ability than the Galaxy because the Galaxy can ONLY carry 2. Maybe the Sunderer is supposed to make the MAXes more mobile.

Sputty · 2003-01-07, 11:27 PM

I don't think the Sunderer can carry any MAXes. I thought it could only carry reinforced armors and then down from that...maybe I'm wrong. A max could run beside it though...

Damn that's a big ass ship - it only holds how much???? http://mediaviewer.ign.com/ignMediaP...%2F015582.html

Sputty · 2003-01-07, 11:53 PM

Whoa, youre right...take into account it may be flying so the objects may appear smaller and the weight factor of a tank...and two MAXes and all the armor.the Galaxy is said to have as much armor as a tank

Navaron · 2003-01-07, 11:56 PM

Theres a guy standing on it, I doubt he's out of proportion with the ship. I wonder if you can get 40 guys to wing walk on top of the gal? Talk about a mean HALO squad.

Sputty · 2003-01-07, 11:59 PM

Yeah true, I'm blind and tired though so it may be hard for me to tell anything...heh...that is really big...I think anything could hit that..it's literally the size of a barn..
