C4 is by class. I suggest either putting it on a Light Assault since they can get onto tanks the easiest, or if you play one class often stick it on that one so you'll have an option when facing MAXs. Infiltrators can't use C4 though.

[Knight of Fools]

If you like being a medic, I recommend picking up at least one C4 so you can fend off MAXes and finish the occasional damaged vehicle. It's worth the 200 certs, especially since medics don't really need the health injectors.

The music is so good that I found my play experience improved immensely when turned off.

In other news, I dropped 100 certs into buying the machine gun thing for the ATV guys. It's, uh, less than impressive. Also, do I have to unlock C4 individually for each class, or does it go across all? I don't want to plop it on Medic or something if it's better on Inf.

I think it's alright. One of the best things you can do with it is stand it on top of a hill above a base and tear apart the infantry below, it's quite good at that. If you catch a light aircraft flying low enough then the Kobalt can completely tear it apart.

However, my advise is to save up for the Basilisk, since you can actually deal damage to 3/4 of the targets you run across with that thing. Last thing some tank drivers expect is a Flash sticking its gun down their tailpipe, underneath the barrels minimum elevation. You can destroy a Prowler with one clip if you hit all shots on the rear, Magriders are trickier due to their gelatinous movement patterns, and I guess Vanguards are the easiest due to the Xbox-huge barrel and terrible maneuverability. It gets even better when you've got three Flash friends with you, all focusing on one target from multiple directions.

Also, as far as I'm aware, no C4 for Infiltrators. Engineers, Light Assault and Medics can carry it.

Then it pops its blue shield and you learn the wrath of an invincible metal box.

Heavies, too, but they've already got rockets so it's not too common to see them using it.

[Flying Dice]

I've found C4 to be moderately useful as a medic, mostly for anti-Max work. Wouldn't recommend buying the second pack for medic unless you're swimming in certs, though.

Sort of strange, it feels like the Lib got an armor reduction even though there wasn't an update. Took one down with what seemed like half as many rockets and gun mags from my Scythe than I normally use.

Psh, you have to be a masochist to play Vanu. How else do you think we put up with the constant bitching about the Magmower? 

FTFY - Alien bastard.

During the beta, one of my favorite tactics as a HA was to stick a block of C4 on the rear of inattentive tanks, back up a bit and put a rocket into their rear armour then detonate the C4. If you detonate first, they will realize they are under attack and may have turned/moved off so it would be more difficult to put the rocket directly into the back. The combo usually finishes them off outright, or leaves them on such low health that you can kill them with a rocket hit anywhere or even with your LMG.

500 certs to burn. Currently less than impressed with the carbines (VS) I tried.

I'm actually liking the default weapons over the custom ones... Perhaps A2A scythe rockets, or max out my mag.

So you're having a blast flying shotgun to a somewhat competent Liberator pilot, killing shit left and right, landing to repair the thing, good times overall. Then you want to reload your chaingun but accidentally press E instead plummeting to your death like a parachuteless egg.

:C

[kaian-a-coel]

Something similar happened to me. I was sneaking inside a barely-defended base, and wanted to increase the minimap size (H), but pressed G instead, throwing a 'nade and getting spotted instanly. :C

That's why i have my plane exit bound to U. (Actually, it's because i have roll left and right bound to A (Q for you qwertyers) and E. Really annoying that I can't bind spot enemy to it too.)

My first attempt at piloting a Reaver ended similarly (I thought Q and E was for rolling). Also a bit startling to be in a packed Galaxy and suddenly see the supposed pilot whoosh past.

On the topic of galaxies:
Is there anything galaxies are actually good for? They just seem incredibly useless to me, you usually have to go out of your way to get a galaxy, and then they are only usefull for transporting outfit/squad members, something that can be done with a sundie too.
