Favorite Vehicles/Weapons in the Game

[HiroshiChugi]

So I've noticed that nobody has a thread up like this (at least not for a long time). I like to think of myself as someone who plays what is needed at that time, and often find myself wishing I had another faction's weapon or vehicle for that situation. So I decided to make this thread (keep in mind that I will only be listing default wepons):

Fav Tank: It's a mix-up between the Vanny and the Prowler. For long distance attacks where I need more hit per shot, I prefer the Vanny. But, for those up-close and personal attacks, I prefer the Prowler.

Fav ESF: Hands down, it's the Reaver. I find it just as maneuverable as the Scythe if you haver at the least Hover Frame 1. If you ask me that I have to choose an ESF, and I couldn't choose the Reaver or I'll die, I would still choose the Reaver.

Fav Carbine: The Solstice. For me, it holds the main required statistic for jet pack assaults: Rapid fire.

Fav Engie Weapon: The AF-19 Mercenary. It's an all-around good weapon for engies. It's great at short-medium ranges, and doesn't need any upgrades except for maybe a night vision scope.

Fav Rifle: NC1 Gauss Rifle. I just LOVE using this weapon. It's rate of fire DOES cause a significant recoil, but ismanageble in burst fire or semi-auto fire.

Fav LMG: I would have to chooce either the T9 CARV or the NC6 Gauss SAW. Hard to debate which one I would choose. I really would be happy with either one, as I do not prefer one over the other.

Fav Sniper Rifle: NC14 Bolt Driver. This is an AMAZING sniper rifle, and I would not trade it for the world. There is no need for any other SR, really, as this one performs amazingly at both longer and shorter ranges. I often find myself choosing this one over my Gauss SPR, even though it is only blot-action. It's velocity and range is superb to any other weapon that I've used.

Fav Faction-Specific Weapon: The Lasher. I just like the pretty colors on the orbs. :3

Fav Anti-Armor: The Shrike; just because it's an NC one, and I can't really think of why I would even come close to liking the others...

Fav Pistol: NC4 Mag Shot. It's just a really good pistol. It's great at short to medium ranges, and often my savior in case of no ammo or an "OH FUCK! He hasn't died yet!" situation.




Now that I've posted mine, post yours. I would love to see what others would like to have on their characters, no matter the faction of the weapon, vehicle, or character.

Favorite Vehicle: top pick goes to the Flash. It's fast, fun and if tricked out, makes a damn good assault vehicle.

Favorite tank: the Lightning. I love the high speed hit and run style it is good at. And the HEAT is a great all around gun. Aside from that, I'll take a Vanguard. I love that thing.

Favorite Aircraft: Liberator. I never gun the thing, I'm always the pilot, but I love it.

Favorite ESF: is a toss up between the Scythe and the Mosquito. The Mosquito feels superior in every respect, but the Scythe is a damn good option and looks way cooler.

Favorite Weapons: the entire NS series. They're good all 'rounders and are fun for me to use. I also love a lot of my empire specific weapons as well, but the NS guns have been seeing a lot of play time. Those new revolvers are super cool. I just hope they put out a nice NS SMG, sniper rifle and shotgun. Just to have a weapon in each class. Even if they're identical in function to empire specific weapons, I like the rugged look of the NS guns and would buy 'em for that alone.

Fav Tank: I play TR for infantry combat, but I do miss the Vanguard T_T

Fav ESF: Reaver, but I prefer a Liberator anyway.

Fav Carbine: Don't like Carbines. Gimme an SMG. (Haven't tried any non-stock carbines, stock carbines all feel faction-specific same-ey).

Fav Engie weapon: Gimme that AV MANA turret. I love it to death. I can farm Andvari turrets, ambush Skyguards, take down Sunderers and even snipe infantry (I once even sniped a sniper at 100+m, true story)!

Fav Rifle: NC1 Gauss Rifle was better than T1 Cycler.

Fav LMG: T9 CARV, T9 CARV! The main reason for me to come to TR is because I was sick of dying to this monster. Has long weapon switch time though.

Fav Sniper rifle: Stock NC Bolt-action. It's perfect.

Fav Faction-specific weapon: Meh. Don't think I'll ever take one of those.

Fav Anti-armor: MANA TURRETZ

Fav Pistol: The repeater is a beast, though I'm interested in trying those new pistols.

Fav Overall Vehicle: The Flash. That thing has become so much fun to use.

Fav Tank: Magrider, their unique strafing ability is borderline OP

Fav ESF: A2A => Mosquito, A2G => Reaver/Scythe

Fav Carbine: The Solstice. Amazing gun: cheap (it's free) reasonable dps, accurate, controllable, low recoil that can be compensated for, fast reload, good bullet speed and no bullet drop-off.

Fav AR: Cycler TRV. Excellent bullet hose. The extreme ROF/dps makes it great for a CQB support role.

Fav LMG: Orion/ T32 Bull: Accurate and controllable

Fav Sniper Rifle: RAMS/Longshot/Parallax. They're all the same and rule for long distance sniping because of their high damage and bullet speed.

Fav Faction-Specific gun: Lasher, they only somewhat useful faction specific heavy gun in the game atm.

Fav Launcher: Phoenix. Just so much fun to use.

Fav Pistol: Repeater. It does best what pistols are mostly used for: CQB panicking. Underboss is nice as well though for other roles.

I'm just going to put in for TR and VS what I like because I don't play NC much.

Fav Overall Vehicle: I spend a lot less time in vehicles than I did before, but probably say the Scythe. I really miss it on my TR.

Fav Tank: Prowler... siege mode is awesome. I like the overall look and feel of the prowler too.

Fav ESF: Scythe. Like I said before I miss it when I play my TR. It handles better to me, but it's probably because I played VS first. It looks the coolest to me by far. Everything I would expect in a scifi game.

Fav Carbine: Lynx (TR) or VX6-7 (VS)... I haven't looked up the exact stats, but they feel very similar.

Fav AR: NS-11... I honestly haven't played medic enough to really say either way, but I like playing with the NS-11 the most so far. Especially since I have the lame NS-11p that is only tied to 1 character.. so I only get to play with it on my VS which is a nice break from all the pewpewpew lasers.

Fav LMG: SVA-88 (VS) or TMG-50 (TR)... I think these are pretty much the same gun like the carbines before. They feel very similar and I really like them for all my HA needs.

Fav Sniper: RAMS... I don't have the Parallax unlocked yet, but since they all have the same stats it's I know I will like it.

Fav Faction specific gun: I think I would lean towards the MCG even though I don't own it. I find it easier to use in most situations than the Lasher.. animation wise the Lasher wins hands down.. just functionally the MCG is better to me.

Fav Launcher: Lancer... this was a major reason I ended up going back to VS after a long stretch with my TR guy. Striker is nice, but it has some major drawbacks... the Lancer is a beast.

Fav Pistol: Repeater. The VS don't have anything comparible to it. The new NS-44 is very nice though and might end up being my new fav on my VS, but I don't think it will ever replace my Repeater on my TR. A supressed Repeater is like basically having a SMG as a side arm.. love going from my Hailstorm.. running dry and switching to the Repeater for a few kills before dying.

Fav SMG: speaking of SMGs... I regret buying the Eradine or whatever the first VS one was. I have the Hailstorm on my TR and it's a beast. I wish I would have bought the Sirius on my VS. Having default extended mags is amazing on those.

If I'm not wielding a Haymaker with Extended Mags, expect to see me with a Hailstorm with a double cert in Laser Dot. TR, the way it's meant to be played.

Also expect a lot of rockets if I'm Engi or HA. No matter if you're on foot or in a vehicle
