I don't know if this been discussed before but if the Vanu's specific vehicles are hovering above the ground, that mean they have more freedom to move sideward and strafe.
Will this be possible or all the vehicles (of the same type) will behave the same way (for balancing)?



Well... we learn it CAN be done....

Yeah the hover vehicles can strafe. its pretty awkward untill you learn to drive it properly, but once you do, its alot of fun.

I can't help but think that the bottom would have to be the weak point, leaving the bottom very vulnerable. If so, should be rather easy to destoy them!

Too bad that we can turn the tank while strafing which will allow us to aim our cannon wherever we want.

oops. (Why would we care about strafing if we could turn the cannon seperately?)

Yes, without the ability to turn while powersliding, we couldn't effectively strafe. Hence this ability Allows the vanu to effectively strafe. I didn't realize that this fact was so funny.

And what does strafing have to do with sitting still? (nice try btw )


You do realize that this ability allows a single Vanu soldier to be able to do what it takes 2 TR or NC to do.

Just thought i'd point out that the VS tank has two turrets. One of them can rotate just like any other turret.

The gun on the front of the Magrider will probably be some utility weapon, and the turret on top will be for killing. Sense its a good size smaller than the other tank's guns, and it only has 1(no MGs) I'm assumeing its a cannon that can only do decent against other tanks and ok vs intantry.

I still prefer a turret so that the pilot doesnt get cocky and try to do his own thing while the gunner is try to be useful.

I'd rather have a turret and a driver. I still think it would allow them too concentrate on one thing o they can do it far better than one person could.

But the key is that if the cannon is fixed the pilot can both drive and shoot.

So what you have is an second person who can be both driving their own vehicle and firing their weapons also.

2 Vanu > 1 NC or TR

Heh, they need the gunner for both. I think it can swivel up and down...Not sure though. I'm pretty sure that all the Heavy tanks are two man. And if it was one man then the VS tank would have to be a lot weaker. So much weaker that two on one for the VS would be an even fight.
