Do ya really think they will make a gun you can't aim?

My guess is that the pilot will be able to control the cannon and the smaller guns on the turret next to it, exactly like the current Vanny. Then the secondary gunner will have a different gun that they can aim independently. Neither the Mag or the Prowler show the secondary guns which is why I don't believe the Vanny is either.

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.

the .50 cal looks like one varient....also in BF3 it rips apart helecopters.

we have seen here the mag with other guns:

im sure the other tanks have the same options.

Hmmm TR looks kinda boxy, but a box of a death I bet.

VS and NC looking gnarly.

I really dont think its stuck on as an after thought, most tanks are designed with a remote control secondary turret.

some in the past though do need somebody to poke their head out:

its clear that from the design stage these planetside tanks are been designed around been equiped with secondary guns.

As Sky pointed out, those are just one option for the gunner position. I'm venturing a guess that they are all just place holders so that they could get a picture taken all together. We've seen some of the Vanu Magrider's AI/AV/AA guns but not much of the TR/NC options. Probably didnt want to spoil anything so that all just gave them the same 50 Cal or so.

Dang, that prowler is tiny!

Lonehunter · 2012-01-09, 07:01 PM

Looking closely it seems like the front 2-4 feet of the prowler was just cut off

Yep, no secondary guns installed on these.

But again I fail to see why you would install one in the first place.

That resource system is going to have to be very strict to get people to need to gun for others. And I fear that's gonna take away from the sandbox freedom a bit. Oh well, beta, where are you?

Much prefer that second picture. The first makes the tanks look a bit plastic-y really. Both the Prowler and the Magrider look a bit stumpy as well, imo - though I don't really care, I like to fly.

Raymac · 2012-01-09, 08:24 PM

It's cool. If you took the colors away, you would still be able to identify each of the tanks based on their PS1 originals. They have a reminicent basic design, but are totally fresh and new at the same time. Is it beta yet? No? How about now? Now? Ok, how about now?

Hmm. Those pea shooter (AI) machine guns on the Van and Prowly don't really say "man me!", do they? >.>

Higby, it looks great visually, but PLEASE just give them all a main gunner, not some sidekick and just give the peashooter to the driver if you really want them to gun something.

Make crews equals!
