I'm pretty sure the secondary guns are beside the main barrel. I can't get the full-sized image to load, but if they have 40k-style pintle-mounted weapons too then that's rather cool.

Ah, much better. It looks like they all have them...

so how does that work?

does the turret split in half magically so the secondary gunner can engage his own targets? or is it set up that the secondary gunner is slaved to the main barrel?

because if thats the case then they might as well eliminate the secondary gunner because who the hell wants to man a gun you cannot aim?

Either the driver will control the main cannon and the secondary guns while the gunner will sit in the top 40k-style and man the pintle-mounted weapon, or the driver drives, a gunner mans the primary and secondary weapons and a secondary gunner mans the pintle-mounted weapon.

I'm pretty sure it's the first one. I haven't been here recently but I seem to remember it being said that drivers control the main guns now?

really nice those comparison shots!

could we please get a group shot of the vehicles you showed us already all together? that would look awsome!

I see something sitting on top of the turret and if thats what these secondary guns are going to look like then that's BS,I would rather have to stick my head out of the top turret and fire a damn M-2 than use some stupid looking spigot stuck on the top of the tank like a friggin afterthought.

they have really stomped on their own dicks with this tank driver/gunner shit.

Huh? Looks to me like they all have a .50 cal on the top. Ammo can is visible hanging on the right. Zoom in on the picture.

Don't let the size of the Prowler fool you. That thing is going to out-maneuver everything else on the battlefield, except when it comes to the VS over water.

Goodbye N64 Prowler
Hello Sega Saturn Prowler

acosmo · 2012-01-09, 04:26 PM

lol who needs a buggy when you have a prowler

BlazingSun · 2012-01-09, 04:28 PM

I don't really get why the Prowler is so much smaller in comparison. That's a bit unfair (harder to hit), or not?

Alaska · 2012-01-09, 04:31 PM

I wanna say the angle of the photo makes it look a lot smaller.

Love the photo, they look amazing! =]

it does look like a 50 cal..why would the VS resort to such inferior technology.

But yea, sgtmad, it will work like bf3.

the player we're watching is on the secondry 50 cal gun, its on its own turret and can aim freely independant of where the driver is facing his turret.

Well the Vanguard is my favourite by far, but I might be a bit bias

That shot really does make the prowler look like a tiny box

SgtMAD · 2012-01-09, 05:17 PM

so what you are telling me is a .50 cal on the turret is the new AA/AV/AI secondary gunner's turret/seat on the Vanny?

LOL talk about reaver bait

I am staring at the pic all blown up and LOL they took the turret off the Prowler and stuck that cheesy looking gun on the top of that tank too.

even if they are able to be swapped out, it is going to look like it was stuck on there as an afterthought,its not going to look "right".

everything else they have shown us about PS2 has looked great,I am of the opinion that they are trying to fix something that wasn't broke with all this tank crap.
