3: NC, TR and Vanu

You can try googling "PS2 Nvidia/AMD beta drivers". It's a trick I heard from some fellow TASers

[Werdna]

The AA max is pretty much considered the best "mobile" AA platform.

But in reality, everyone knows, the heavy tanks main cannon is the ultimate anti-air weapon.

I've direct-hit a Reaver with the default Mag rider cannon and it survived (flew off smoking), so even a MBT hit is no sure thing.

I got direct hit by a HEAT shell from a Vanny just now and immediately 'sploded.

Turned graphics to low, sorted out the jerkiness and helped with the FPS.

But, it would seem, my internet is too slow. Flying around, suddenly, building in front of me.

I've got mine on Medium and that still happens. Damn Ammo towers.

Well, yeah, reaver.  Try that on a mossie or scythe.

Actually, reaver has exactly the same health as the two others, IIRC.

Then what advantage does it have?  Don't tell me fastest afterburner because I'll laugh at you.




Also, I didn't even know it was possible to flip a sundy.

A shotgun.

A shotgun.

Don't they all have that?

[The Scout]

Do we have a TR outfit? I'm getting tired of getting murdered by gangs of Vanu.

[Jim Groovester]

I think the Vannie just has really powerful shells. I've hit reavers with HEAT prowler rounds and it's nearly killed them.

I can't immediately recall instances where I've hit scythes with prowler rounds but I'm sure I have and the same thing happened.

[PTTG??]

Yep. There was an invitation thing a while back.

[darkrider2]

yeah reaver was supposed to have greater vertical thrust, afterburner, and health.

Health was standardized across all factions, so that's advantage is gone.

Its slower than the other two ESF's, afterburner just gives it a temporary boost, both other ESF's can simply boost then cruise speed (which is higher than yours) and you're screwed. And don't you dare bring up fuel pods, everyone carries rocket pods unless they haven't bought em yet.

Vertical thrust is hardly noticable.

Technically the Vortek has the lowest time to kill vs other ESF's, however, given the reaver's disadvantages in turning and top speed, I've found it very difficult to dogfight against other ESF's unless I've gotten the jump on them. Often I'll find myself in situations where I literally cannot shake the other guy, and he's still getting shots off.

I've heard that the hitbox is larger too, though I'm not entirely certain.

[palsch]

Yeah, even slightly larger from the top than the apparently huge Scythe.

Don't they all have that?

Nope, the Air Hammer is NC unique. Also incredibly cheesy. This is the best video of it I've seen. I've even seen people calling for it to be nerfed.

[Jim Groovester]

This is the best video of it I've seen.

Note to self: cert out the ESFs.

Aren't infantry all equally vulnerable to each ESF main cannon? I don't understand the advantage of this gun.

[Toaster]

I am god-awful at flying.  I hopped in VR, got dogfighter 3, grabbed that shotgun, and couldn't hit jack on the stationary targets.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it is.
