Is it just me or is the lack of obvious weapons perhaps an indicator that we will be able to equip different loadouts to it, much like the BFRs?

WOW....WOW.....Yeah, WOW!!!

I love it. Looks spectacular!

- The Reaver is back.
- Definitely 2 seats which is interesting. We'll see how that plays out. (Personally I hope it is still viable as a 1 man vehicle, but is just deadlier with a 2nd man)
- Skids instead of wheels, so unless this is set on the north pole, it's VTOL
- My guess is that is the gun on the nose, and then just to either side are large holes for the rockets probably. They could be air intakes, but it appears they already have that covered with larger holes just under the '143'
- Excitement level now officially turned up to 11.

Thank you for making my week, Hamma!

Where did you get that screeny from hamma?

Obviously a different screenshot format than the others, but does this look like a trailer still to anyone else? Then again, it might be an iphone shot of a monitor. Definetly some sky behind that Reaver though.

Take a closer look, there is no one piloting it, can't be in game.

It looks trailer quality to me, but the lack of pilots kinda trips me up if this is supposed to be a shot from the teaser. (edit: yeah what 0Shadow0 said)

It really looks beautiful.

Thats not a reaver, thats a Mossie or a Wasp. Just look at a Mossie and at that screeny here, you see the similarities instantly. Now look at a reaver...

I have no time to go into detail now, but this clearly is a Mossie or a version of a mossy.

EVILoHOMER · 2011-02-04, 01:43 PM

Now that's more like it and it's a Mosq lol.

What makes me worried is that is obviously photoshopped, so it will probably look worse in game.

Raymac · 2011-02-04, 01:48 PM

I'm guessing, if John Smedley said it's a Reaver, then he would probably know.

SKL2002 · 2011-02-04, 01:48 PM

Either it is just me, but did someone else mistaken the design for the Mosquito aircraft (before reading the description)? LOL! Very, very nicely done indeed!

So it may look like different roles will be available to the Reaver. I'm hoping there is an ECM variant (EA-6B) along with the traditional tank buster the Reaver was known for. Would be awesome to fly an ECM reaver in ahead of a couple Galaxies.
