Reaver Vs. Mosquito

[AngryDrCowHead]

hi guys, im new to PS and i wuz wondering wat are the good/bad points for both and
which is better?

[Onizuka-GTO]

Mosquitos are annoying, Reaver are Magrider fodder.

The mosquito has speed and the ability to use radar to reveal enemies in a base for other friendly units. Reavers have the firepower to take out targets quickly.

/Good The Skeater owns the skys. It is the best at dog fights and is good at taking out inf.

/Bad The skeater has very lil armor and gets wasted by AA Maxes and Skygaurds.

/Good The Reaver is very good at taking out tanks and other armored vehcials with its rockets. The rockets also great for taking out inf. and Maxes. The main guns are good for taking down Gals and Liberators. It has a lil more armor that lets you take cover from AA maxes in most situations.

/Bad You pretty much get killed by skeaters. You still get owned by Skyguards.

Thanx guyz,i think ill probably go for "air cavelry" cert, the mosquito sounsds cooler-- but ill probably use reaver aswell .

-- y the hell dont they hve targets in the VR driving zone? and y dont they hve moving targets in VR shootintg zone?

Reaver

+ Rockets against soft and hard targets
+ 2 Cannons against hard targets (MAX)
+ good Armor
+ Afterburner


- gets ditected by wall turrets
---------------------------------------

Mossi

+ Recioless 12mm against soft Targets
+ Radar (inf killer)
+ very fast and agil
+ Afterburner

- low armor
- useless against soft armour
---------------------------------------

What is better?

Answer: The Mossreaver

It all depends what u like to do. If u like to go with the main zerg in huge battles the Mossi is not useless but the Reaver is far more effective. Its "rocketspam" does not require the targeting which u need in a Mossi. The main Problem with the resupply is been solved after the balance patch.

The Mossi is a MUST for spec ops. U can go everywhere u want and the only enemy to fear is another Mossi. Behind enemy lines there will be no AA. U can drop on an enemy base and do u re evil work.

I would say:

Bad mossi Pilot vs. av. Reaver Pilot = mossi wins
Bad mossi Pilot vs. 2 av. Reaver Pilots = Runs or looses
Good mossi Pilot va. 2 - 3 Reaver Pilots = 3 Kills for the Mossi

Air Cavalry owns but watch out for the mighty Skyguard, Van's 20mm cannon, Bursters, Starfire MAXs and other Air Cavalry.

ok! reaver vs a mos the mos will win cus its faster and a better cannon! the reavers missles r too slow but gd for air to ground! the mos is more air to air! overall u own with a reaver as easier to take out troops with them missles! but the mos looks better if ur worried bout what anyone thinks of u! or just wanna go cruisin and pick up some chicks! but u cant cus only 1 seater so shove her in the engine

Its not hard to shoot down a mossy with a reaver. Just stop in mid air and turn. Except for when he uses purners ull out turn him. the 20mms will make qquick work of him. Or u can do it the mans way but thats alot harder.

[Retroactive]

i dont know why they dont have targets in driving, but the shooting zone has some moving infantry.

Reaver > Skeeter by a long shot for anything resembling combat.

Reaver causes a shit load more DpS from the 20mm than a Skeeter does from the 12mm. Reaver has twice the armour. Skeeter is slightly faster and slightly more manuverable, slightly. Manuverability means precisely fuck all in A2A, a Reaver gets hit from behind by a Skeeter, it just slows down and turrets and then ruins the Skeeter's shit. A Skeeter cannot stand up to a Reaver unless the Reaver has already sustained 30%+ damage and it hits it from behind, you still have to hit all your shots or hope the Reaver pilot couldn't hit a stationary loadstar. In face to face combat, the Reaver will have needed to have sustained closer to 60-70% damage.

The Skeeter can kill small targets (infantry) more effectively with its' 12mm than a Reaver can with its' 20mm due to the dual fire nature of the Reaver 20mm. However, in A2A the size of the target makes this irrelevant.

I am not saying the Skeeter is a bad vehicle, it can be very effective, but if you have a tech plant and you choose a Skeeter over a Reaver to go pick a fight with other aircraft in, you will be disappointed if you come across a proficient Reaver pilot as s/he will down you twice over without needing to go and repair.

The whole Skeeter > Reaver crap is a pile of lies. Skeeter's are the battlefield vulture, they kill wounded or distracted targets and infantry on the edges. Alot of people prefer the Skeeter due to the pre Aircav days when they didn't have a Reaver aswell and can't get use to the differences in how they are used, how they handle and how the weapons work. The Reaver 20mm is more difficult to use in A2A than the 12mm because of the dual fire nature, but it is significantly more proficient at it when you get it down.

My opinion.

I say Reaver > Skeeter, this is because i rarlye am ever shot down by another air vech in my reaver unless there are more than one, or i was just running away form an AAmax/Skyguard, i have taken out countless skeeters and reavers with my reaver, and because it has more armor and rockets i can take out ground targets(though a expending all of your ammo on a tanks before it dies even when most are a direct hit sucks, yeha i said it reaver need an AV damage buff). The only time i use a skeeter is when i need to go very fast, i have to shoot down lots of planes, or i hae to be stealthy

Dare I rely upon my own signature to prove this point?

Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.

The Mosquito's speed, maneuverability, and the pristine accuracy of its gun and Overflight Radar make it the prime contender in the race for Best Aircraft. Also, don't forget it's invisible to Interlink radar.

Basically, Mosquito owns Reaver.

Just my opinion. Now that you get Mosq and Reaver for four certs, does it even matter which is better?
