Sunderer vs. Galaxy - Page 3

the surrenderer can set up a remote base that has ammo and respawn points correct? I thought that was the main point of the surrenderer. or whatever its called.

The Remote Base is an AMS, a vehicle unto itself.

galaxies can be defended by reavers and mosquitos too, just as the sunderer can get buggy and tank defence.

the sunderer will move faster then a tank, so it has to addept to the speed of the tank. The reavers and mosquitos have to adept to the galaxy for sure.

Both will have their strong and weak points.

galaxy stong points:
- no ground obstacles at all, so will eventually be more flexible and faster (if the sunderer has to travel around a mountain)
- got a good overview of the terrain/battlefield

sunderer stong points:
- can appoach unnoticed
- can easely be repaired (stop, repair, drive)
- got better gun cover for itself

I wouldn't give it a 2-3 score since speed/flexibility of the galaxy could count more then being able to reapir fast and there are alot of good points missing.

So as steve said, let's leave it at Sun: 1 Gal: 1

Wait a minute here... Is the TR Galaxy really black? When I asked Hamma a while back he said the galaxies were all the same primary color with different badging and highlight color. However, that galaxy (which I haven't seen before) looks black to me. Yes?

I guess the sunderer is best to start a attack

An escort of sunderers, Ams, tanks and buggies moving more unnoticed then a galaxy+ escort.

Also notice that the soldier in the Sunderer (including MAXes!) can get out in little time for more firepower

The Galaxy will be best for fast and flexible reinforcements, rather then head-on attacks

So if you want to get somewhere with your friends with the best chance of staying alive, go sunderer.

If you want to get to the battle fast, use the galaxy

These are all great, wonderful points.

As for that Galaxy, thats got to be an error or something, I mean I know the Galaxies all have that grayish tint color to them, with the logo and colors across the top, as a matter of fact, look at the PSU Banner, that Galaxy is the same as all the others, just change the colors and logo.

Somehow i'd feel abit safer in the games biggest armored personell carrier than a plane.. hehe

btw, the sunderer can carry 2 MAX's atleast

Lillemanden · 2003-01-08, 08:10 AM

btw, the sunderer can carry 2 MAX's atleast

Fact or guess?
I don't think the capacity have been released for the Sunderer, so could you atleast but an "IMO" in front, thx.

Zatrais · 2003-01-08, 08:20 AM

Download the heavy_dismount vid... wouldn't make sense for the vehicle in that vid to be asymetrical. It's fairly certain that the sunderer can carry atleast 2 MAX's. Because a.) that vehicle isn't the sunderer and can carry 1 MAX, then it would only be logical for full squad APC be to be able to carry 2 MAX's. b.) that vehicle is the sunderer and it looks to be completely the same on the other side whit room for a MAX.

Edit: i forgott to add that the Galaxy is classified as a full troop transport, so is the Sunderer. The galaxy can carry 2 MAX's, so it's also logical that the Sunderer has the same carry capacity minus perhaps a gunner and the vehicle

The galaxy isnt black, I think that was dusk or somthing, or just the screenshot is the suck.

Airlift · 2003-01-08, 01:20 PM

too bad! That paint scheme on the galaxy would have settled my empire decision in TR's favor.

Sputty · 2003-01-08, 01:25 PM

That would be cool but too hard to see in the dark...They' be able to move 20 Galaxies back and forth before someone noticed the hundreds of troops everywhere..

Navaron · 2003-01-08, 02:22 PM

Im sorry but did you see how frikkin big that thing is? Theres no way you'd miss that thing even if it was pitch black - or could even follow the same cloaking rules as an infiltrator. IT'S HUGE!!!

Sputty · 2003-01-08, 04:05 PM

How can that thing only hold 15 people at max? I mean really. Modern planes that are smaller than that...like the 747..hehe...can hold hundreds...weird...JK..I think 747 is bigger than that but still..it is huge

For the sake of discussion I was wondering something...

Instead of something like auto-hover if a pilot for some reason or another has to bail out or disconnect from server or something, why couldn't you make it available for someone else to pilot the vehicle? Like have someone jump in from the back or something (assuming they have a proper cert) As fun as it would be to have the galaxy slowly land instead of crashing you're still stuck wherever you are unless you have another pilot handy. Why not just make it easier and let him jump in at any moments notice?
