cloaked vec + gun = no no

I agree with CB, the last thing we need is another fricking air gun platform raining cloaked death upon everyone below.

We have OSes for that

Did you even read what electro said?
In case you didnt, here it is again:

It's only weaponry is a fairly weak belly turret used for clearing its drop area of light resistance (yes, LIGHT resistance, this thing isnt an air tank).

t's probably something along the lines of 12mil rotary MG, nad it will probalby becoem very visibly while in use

You'll see the bullets anyways, have common sense. Its a Wraith with a gun and wings, honestly are you scared of a Wraith with a 15mm gun?

Like a Vangaurd against a ATV, flak cannons will own.

Yes, Fisa, the Dev who DESIGNED it, stressed the fact that the belly turret will not be a powerful weapon. Also, she said that it decloaks when it fires the weapon. Believe me, the turret is only there to give the troops some cover fire after they've landed, not destroy everything.

Before any of you start whining, please read my description THOROUGHLY. All the stuff I just said above was previously stated in my original description of the Phantasm.

you know, i was the one that suggested the Vehical Queue, but then the devs added the auto drive, the bastards. ya hate em, and ya love em, cant do one or the other.

I am scared of wraiths...period. Especially knowing what I can do with them....

Ever go tearing through the back lanes of a Battle field in a wraith? guaranteed to wrack up some mower kills....i am scared....

Still if it decloaks while firing, then no biggy. And it don't matter about the tracer round leading you to the plane. i can see tracer rounds of planes that DON'T cloak and sometimes not see the plane...

How the hell do you mow with an ATV? It's nigh impossible, they're too light - I went at 89Kph into a frienly as a test. Half his armour went. :/ Fine he was Rexo, but thats what? Just the armour of an Agile.. so maybe a standard might die, but if they're running round in standard ANYthing could kill em..

If it's a dropship then by the time they're gonna decloak it's gonna be above you. Pretty sure you'd see it. Not many people are gonna be sniping with this mofo.

Although.... Get a pilot to land one of thewse things, jump on the roof ( � la Gal surfing) and make them take you waay above the action, whilst cloaked. No-one would look up to see you and imagine the kills youd get. *creams*

drive through the back field of a big battle. people are repairing out ther, they are also un awares of your plans, so you can make 2-3 sweeps b4 death, and i got eight kills once =p (works wit ha harrasser, too[a buddy gunner softens em up sum, for a true mag-mower like experience])
