The new pics of the prowler are in the new weekly screens. I have to say im kind of dissapointed with it. It lacks details and its basically one giant blob. If it weren't for the turret i wouldn't even know its a tank. The deliverer on the other hand looks kick ass. Why couldn't they have spent that much time on the prowler?

I think the Prowler looks interesting. It's semi-rounded hull design makes sense, a bullet at an obtuse angle could be deflected away from the turret or hard impact with the hull in reality. Cool duel chaingun design. All in all, more compact and nicer looking then, say, the Vanguard...

LNS0388-
If that were the case then the M1Abrams would have a rounded turret like the M60 tank. This is not the case. The Vanguard is going to kick some Terran but with that extremely low profile. That is what you want in a tank. The Vanguard is extremely low to the ground and the turret is almost entirely gun. The Prowler kindof reminds me of the Cobra tank from the older GI Joe cartoons. (the Viper) No, it doesn't look like it, it just brings it to mind. Last edited by Mauser101; 2003-03-24 at 06:57 PM. |

It's too bad it won't look so nice when the Vanguard's 150mm cannon blows a hole right through it, now will it :P

Mauser101- Most real life tanks have sufficent armor to protect against any small arms fire, and machine guns to defend against infantry. Also keep in mind the mindset of efficency over all else when discussing the Terran Republic. I'd imagine that a bullet at a nearly paralel angle with the rounded hull of a prowler would have a much greater chance of deflecting in a different direction then in the same case with an Abrams, no?
My point being, with efficency over all else, it's a possibility in the design. The statement about reality was not intended for modern tanks, simply because they don't really follow the design of the Prowler. They are bulky and meant to be very survivable against small-arms fire, so they don't have to worry about small arms fire. To the Terran Republic, it's all efficency.  :trrules:Edit- Removed the first part of my post because it was rather... flame-a-rific. Sorry.

Want to test out your theory in-game, beta time? I'll go against you in a prowler and we'll see.
 I still think the rounded armor works with the Terran Republic design. It may not work in real life, but it's still fitting with their concept.  Not knocking the Vanguard, it's still pretty cool, it's just the owning side that isn't so cool.
