Terran Republic has more seats

Motherfly · 2012-05-26, 10:03 AM

Ive hear Matt say in a video that TR has more people that can enter their vehicule. Can someone develop on that please?

In PS1, the TR tank (Prowler) needed crew of 3 while other tanks were 2 man crew. We don't know yet if PS2 will be the same.

Well, he was probably referring to the TR tank, the Prowler, in which 3 guys can enter (one pilot and two gunners), instead of two for the VS and NC tanks.

This is how it was in the original game. The TR tank required three people to be fully functional while other empires required only two.

More seats is a significant argument to switch for TR. Contrary to what people think, they're quite the party people under their stern looks and judgmental behavior !

Their Happy Hour day is every 29th of February.

That was the case in PS1 but isn't it the case in ps2 the prowler has only 2 seats?

I believe no final decision has been made on the topic yet. Or at least, not one that we have been made aware of

3 man prowlers were great fun, if they implement it straight off the bat or as an option that would be great.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Could you tell us which video it was?

Its funny that all not TR Players find the Prowler fun to play with. Funny again when you see all Tech weekends you dont see prowlers at all.

Funny to see that people think its better to have 3 people in a tank to be effective over 2 people.

Funny to see that people dont see that the prowler had to have at least 2 times more firepower to be balanced with a 2 man tank.

Funny to see that people dont see that the Raider is the most broken vehicle in game (i have to admit the VS variant is shit as well but you dont have 5 soldiers dead in field)

ONES AND FOR ALL TERRAN REPUBLIC DOES NOT WANT A WEAPON SYSTEM THAT REQUIRES MORE MEN THEN THE OTHER EMPIRES THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE ASKING THAT ARE THE NC AND VS THEN GIVE IT TO THEM!

How many reT.aR.ds does it take to operate a Prowler?

If only you realized how OP the Aurora can be... What it lacks in versatility is compensated in AI firepower.

The Thunderer wrecks tanks, infantry, and air. So a short bus good only for farming towers and mobile spawns is garbo, like the Aurora.

OP weapons for NC isn't new. That doesn't mean the Aurora is a piece of crap like you say it is. Especially when you take into account the AI potential of magriders which was simply terrible.

But I agree, there is no doubt that 10x Thunderers scale much better in a mixed battle that 10x Auroras.

Can't wait until we see huge battles again, in PS2.

Yes, the aurora was crap. it was amazing around an open door and mostly defenseless soldiers. it is complete garbage everywhere else and vs are better off pulling a deli.
