It's possible that the "empire specific light fighter" and the "mosquito" are the same thing... with each empire having a physically different version, sharing the same name. There might even be a common pool variant floating around.
As for the Mag turret... that dome shaped thing in the back might be able to raise up a bit and rotate. The big gray plate on the front of the dome could easily be Where The Gun Goes. Just reviewed the debut trailer... the done was too low to rotate there too. If I'm right, then the other gray spots could be mounting locations for Other Things. Armor add ons, thrusters, sensors, maybe some tertiary weaponry (a claymore-type deal on either side that the driver can trigger, for example). The lip above the forward gun on the Mag leads me to believe that it can point upward fairly high, similar to the Mag in PS1. Last edited by NapalmEnima; 2011-09-27 at 04:27 PM. |

The liberator is a bastard of a 30's hidroplane, a WH40K Fighta' Bomba and a WWII HE-111...
The secret behind the TR mossie (with rockets) may be in Higby's hint in the PCGamer preview yesterday. It says "Each of our fighter has it's own skill tree that lets you costumize it to be an air fighter, an air to ground fighter, a super fast reconnaisance craft, all from one plane." So my bet is, that this is the air to ground variant with 16 unguided missiles (and a huge airbrake opebned on the top). It IS a mossie, but costumized to be A2G. |

Now that you mention it....oh my. hehehehehe The "floatation device" on the bottom looks rather odd though. You can see a wheel there, it doesn't really look large enough to need all that. Last edited by Talek Krell; 2011-09-27 at 04:38 PM. |

The air fighter looks great as does the Mag. The lib looks cool except the washtub strapped to the bottom looks a little out of place.
I am concerned about the design of the Mag though from a functional standpoint. With the main gun mounted on the front it can't go hull-down. Unless the Prowler and Vanguard have a similar design that's a problem. Yeah, VS are all about mobility (and SCIENCE,) but if the others can actually use cover while firing that's a major advantage. |

you see the two round cylinder type objects on top of the mag?, am thinking its gonna be two small turrets opposed to 1 big turret. prob fires like single pulsar type rounds from each so if firing from either side only 1 of the smaller turrets would hit meaning the best angle of attack is now head on. witch makes this tank suck ass cus now your the gunner of the main cannon and you cant hit and run run run, its all or nothing =/

Great update, nice vehicle pictures and awesome panoramic shot even if it is of the same area we've seen before (desktop background right there!).
So are we thinking that each empire has its own model for common pool kit? |
