What should I get first?

I'm torn between getting the heavy assault Anti Air weapon first, or the MAX AA weapon first. Do you get to use the MAX AA on both arms if you only buy 1, or do you have to buy both of them? What do you guys recommend?

Max AA weapons are individual arms etc. You have to buy it basically 2 times to be able to dual equipment them 16000 araxium etc

if your account is a newer oe to the beta.. you have to buy them.. Some of us who have been playing for quite some time had them previously for free.

Whichever you want to try first - wipes will be coming soon

As I understand it, from numerous comments from the Community and Devs, you buy the license to be allowed to utilise stuff, not the stuff in itself, but you need to load it out on both arms if you want it.

If you play alot of HA get the vehicle locking rocket launcher, if you dont already have it.

You can spend cert points in weapons yes. But that is to improve them, like scoop, flashlight and so on. However you need to spend either SC or Aurixium (SC cant be spent in beta) to buy the weapons if you want to equip them. This goes for infantry as for vehicles.

Except it seems to take 5+ rockets to kill anything

Mostly because the driver can get out and repair it to full health before you can finish reloading. That's the biggest problem.

I haven't tried the AA HA weapon, but the burster isn't all that great either. The flak doesn't always seem to connect and do damage, but it's better than nothing.

I have got shot allot with those rockets in my Prowler and at least the NC version of the weapon. One shot takes about 35%-40% of the armor if it get hit from the side. So it's more like 3....

Bring 2 friends with launchers ftw, ya shouldnt be able to solo a MBT easily...but one guy will back them off...they scurry when they see the lock.

Well what you buy with the SC and Auraxium is access to as many of a given weapon as you want to use for 1 sum of the stated resource, so a license to use it. In addition to this you can buy various improvments to said weapon for cert points.

he's right. You buy the license to use it. You just have to buy each arm seperately.

Yea but if ther's a bunch of you firing or and / or a friendly tank, every now and then you'll get a kill.

But it shouldn't be possible that you can solo a tank.
