1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[Knave]

Thanks for the help, guys!
I tend to gravitate towards support classes in team games (at least to start), so that's good.

Now to choose my first faction!

[Rex_Nex]

VS is the best, TR has the most newbie friendly guns, NC suck

[Aseaheru]

Nah, NC best.

I am still of two minds on if VS beats TR or visaversa.

[Sonlirain]

VS is the best overall their tanks are a bit lacking but they usually compensate this by pulling TONS of them. Their ESF is good if not for the fact it has a nasty tendency to clip obstacles and explode when landing from time to time.
TR used to be good but was hit with a nerf bat. Their tank is pure crap wbile their ESF (Empire specific fighter) is probably the best.
NC gets the best tank in the game. A workable ESF and high damage guns. Their MAX armors are powerful but very specialized.

[Rex_Nex]

The Prowler is fine (Best AI MBT + best solo MBT + best TTK + most mobile). I'd trash my vanguard any day to get ahold of one of those things.

I hate the NC MAX so hard. It's so useless, the lack of any ranged capability is crippling. Who cares if you can farm biolabs?

[Aklyon]

VS is the best, I'm seconding Rex here.

[TolyK]

I use NS weaponry, typically, and SMG's, so I can't really say anything on the matter.

[Knave]

Tried playing as Vanu. My FPS was saying 60, but everyone was 1 framing/rubberbanding around. Things were were coming in and vanishing off screen. Wonder if there's something causing all the lag :/

[TolyK]

Check ping (tab) and connection, maybe try a different server that's closer to you.

[Aklyon]

Also turn shadows off. And maybe lower other things down to medium in general.

[Rex_Nex]

Sounds like his problem has very little to do with his framerate, his connection is either spotty, can't handle the bandwidth requirement, or he's using a satellite connection. People teleporting around is caused by your connection trying to keep up with what the server is sending.

Except TR has the worst secondary weapons making most prowlers use the NS AV secondary because Vulcan gets damage dropoff at 10 meters (far closer than the range a prowler is supposed to be used at) and marauder got turned into a crappier version of the fury that can't even damage other vehicles.

Yeah but you can mount other weapons that are not shotguns like dual ravens or whatever NC uses thsoe days to wreck the sunderers i desperately try to repair from FAR FAR away.

NC is the only correct choice,  because MURICA. If you pick any other side, you will make eagles cry.

Of course they don't have a long range secondary, but the Halberd is just fine for midrange and a good gunner can make it work at even longer ranges. You need to remember how absolutely dominating solo AP prowlers are at range - they can already almost solo 2/2 vanguards and magriders who don't or can't get into cover, and 1/2 MBTs have no chance. Lockdown is pretty amazing in these situations. You give this kind of vehicle something like the Enforcer and all hope is lost for other MBTs.

I agree the Vulcan is too inaccurate for Prowler use, but I am absolutely happy with it not having a powerful long range option.

[DJ]

I thought the consensus was that Halberd is better than Enforcer anyway.
