Superior Tech!

More Vehicles! I'd love to see the new Take on the Prowler also, and the Vanguard

Hamma noooo......you should have said "we are about to finalise the new designs for the website but are waiting for the new artwork for the Prowler and Vanguard before we can complete and publish"

Oh well opportunity lost but Mr H it would be a really good exclusive for PSU.

Prowler: Five-man death machine.
Vanguard: One man driving around naked, balanced on a 150 floating in air.

If they proceed with the "driver=gunner", MAW. might as well.

looks like a Lib for NC, maybe a magrider for vanu. That TR ship looks bad ass with the rockets under the wings, which makes me think it probably isnt a mossie. Unless they're implementing rockets onto the mossies.

You should totally check the link before posting =) http://www.planetside2.com/news/article41.html

And imo Maggy looks more like a ufo, rather than a tank. Unless it has been given without its turret.

Vehicles are can be customized and configured now, and they've mentioned that any aircraft could be set up to attack ground targets. So I'd say it's quite possible that they're implementing rockets onto mossies.

The article specifically states that it's a mosquito. I suspect we'll be able to unlock all kinds of goodies for under the wings. Air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground rockets/bombs/missiles, maybe some extra guns of one sort or another.

A recon-spec'ed mossy might even have some spiffy sensors it can strap to the sides.

Wait - did they update that article? I don't remember those being on there before..

A dive bomber sounds quite doable, as do A2G missiles/rockets.

I believe Higby has stated that the vehicle weapon unlock tree is one of the largest trees in the game. Not those exact words, and I may be reading too much into it. May just "extensive" rather than "one of the largest". Don't recall.

While true, I think a bomber other than the Liberator (a purpose-built bomber) is pretty pie-in-the-sky.

That'd be like saying "I want an main battle cannon unlock for my quad!!!" There's a tank for that, silly.

NapalmEnima · 2011-09-28, 03:30 PM

I disagree. I think we'll be able to shoehorn different vehicles into a variety of roles, they simply won't do it as well as a vehicle designed for that role.

For example:

While I don't think we'll see a 150mm cannon on an NC quad any time soon, we just might see an AV cannon of some sort (50mm, a stripped down 75mm). To say nothing of AV rockets. Would such a quad do as well against a tank as another tank? No. Will it still be capable of forcing an MBT to pay attention to it? Yes, I suspect so.

T-Ray, enlight us, whats going on? Mossy TR Only? Or what are those vehicles? Or do air vehicles now have a faction model, like a TR mossy, a NC mossy and a VS mossy? Halp!

all your Mossies are belonging to TR now

Libs is common pool

Magrider is VS of course
