I think the purpose of the Lightning is its speed and crew count compared to the MBTs. A solo operated raiding/support vehicle. At the moment it's probably as close as we'll get to the buggies.

Where was that said? I don't see it in Bag's thread, but then navigating that thing is a bit of a nightmare.


I'm alright with the way they seem to be handling vehicles at the moment. My only real concern is about visual identification. The difference between a Skyguard and a (PS1) Lightning is night and day compared to the difference between two Vanguards with different secondaries, and I don't want to have to fall back on a mess of HUD indicators for quick threat ID.

I think there'll have to be some visual clues. But I'd like it to be a tank chassis with the different shaped guns on them.

That way some aircav can think he's lining up a tank kill and then have to bail out when they see the flak cannons turning.

If all they have to do is avoid lightnings its too easy for them. (I hate aircav so I'm probably biased though)
