Poetry.





Is the Mag still going to be able to strafe? Because that's an important point regarding its width. Maybe it's a little bit wider to compensate for the fact that it can move sideways and would therefore be harder than usual to hit head-on.

Trust me what it lacks in punch it will more than make up for in maneuverability on the battlefield. I wouldn't sweat it.
The PS1 mag was pretty good when the two guns were on the same target and as it hovered it could do that pretty easily.

I wouldn't worry about the mag, the devs will balance out the armour and damage.

The key ingrediant is that it is direct fire. It will have an advantage at longer ranges and the hover means it is a steady firing platform.

Long range fighting usually means the tanks can more easily run away and tank kills require a level of inattention/stupidy on behalf of your opponent.

I still think it's going to be an easier tank to use than either the prowler or vanguard.

The prowler is going to be faster and more lightly armoured apparently. I reckon it's going to have to use hit and run tactics. Sneak up from behind a hill, get the kills and run away quickly. It may not be a good tank killer though, because of it's lack of armour.
