[Hamma]

Ok now I will

[Rbstr]

All that glorious butt-hurt wasted because it's not actually that big.

Awesome

[Aaron]

I'll definitely be devoting some skill points to this tank.

[capiqu]

Wow I really like T Man's display.

[Ruffdog]

Pretty. Looking forward to seeing them in my crosshairs.

[RadioFIN]

NC colours and rounded shapes looks like an interesting combination.

Interesting conversation on twitter between Sgt_Bravic, Higby, and I:

Sgt_Bravic: @mhigby Looks like the Vanguard could squish the damn thing!

mhigby: It literally can. #crunch

dmaix: @mhigby So if the Vanny ran the Lighting over, what happens in game? The Lighting model gets squished and becomes disabled?

mhigby: @dmaix It's very similar to this: http://youtu.be/rhIIQe63VDo Except add in some explosions.

Totally excited.

dude, there are no limits to certs. They are unlocks, once you get em you have em forever, you can eventually get every single cert at the same time, so making it an unlock is pointless other than to add a time sink, they cant be used for balance anymore.

But yeah it would make more sense to have the mbt's multi crew only since they now have a lightning for the rambo players.

Seeing these things just makes we drool...beta !

Minus the shattering glass and twisting metal, I bet MBTs will be able to crush smaller vehicles pretty easily. I wouldn't be surprised if it was very similar to this:

[Shogun]

higby, could you record a little video with a vanguard slowly crunshing a lightning seen from a footsoldier´s view? just like in the video you linked?

a little montage with 3 real cars getting crushed and the vanguard/lightning crush at the end would be another powerful viral video for sure
