1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

Skyguard is mostly for protecting friendly armor columns, and mobility is bread and butter of those.

There really should be a way to change your vehicle's load out.

So I've played almost a thousand hours of this shitty game as TR and NC. Today I tried playing VS for the first time and holy shit. Totes easymode. That's all I really wanted to say, carry on.

But that comes at the price of looking like frakking space elves.

No amount of power is worth that.

[Toaster]

Spaaaaaaandeeeeeeex

[Aklyon]

Laseeeeeeeeeeeeeers.

[Ozyton]

Lasher. PPA. MAXes worth using. Cheesy MBT. BR100s seemingly everywhere...

[Aseaheru]

I like NC Max, I survive a good while in it.

[Ozyton]

I'm curious about what kind of setup you use that allows you to kill infantry further than 10 meters away before they can rape you with rockets and grenades.

Speaking of MAXes, the daily deal is for the left burster arm, which I'm definitely going to be picking up. I'm surprised I've gone this long without getting it, I just rarely feel compelled to use my MAX.

[Aseaheru]

Burster and starting shotgun...

[Rex_Nex]

Irrespective of whether the NC MAX is worthwhile, the VS MAX is statistically the best MAX. So that's nice. The VS have a shitton to offer as long as you're not looking for heaps of viable weaponry (the NC has it best here - most of their weapons are at least decent). AFAIK most of their secondary weapons, LMGs, etc. are pretty lame, although they do have at least a couple weapons in each class that are very good. In the end it probably doesn't matter though, since everyone is just using what is considered the best. They also have a lot to offer for squad player - the Lasher is a great weapon, as is the Lancer, and PPAriders and harassers are gods of death. Also, I think the Scythe is the best ESF, although don't quote me on that.

At the end of the day though, yeah, VS is easymode. I'll probably end up spending a lot more time on my VS character as I finish up some of what the NC has left to offer.

[Kanil]

VS is easymode, but don't play Connery VS -- they make Matherson NC look competent. Just don't subject yourself to that, you don't deserve it.

I watched a 48-96 VS force roll up to Saurva, defended by 1-12 TR. A couple dozen tanks and 8 sunderers patrolled around the courtyard while 12 VS actually attempted to take the bio lab, half of which hid in the teleport room. It took about 20 minutes, but TR eventually gathered up enough reinforcements to equalize pop and defend the base.

They lost with 8:1 pop advantage. Not even to a mass redeploy, just a slow trickle of defenders. Just because their tankers couldn't leave their precious tanks unattended for the 2:30 it'd take to blow up the gen and SCU.

But if you leave the safety from behind the PPA people might kill you and ruin your 50+ kill streak!

Also, who cares about winning in this game or playing the game the way it was intended to be played. This game is about certs and collecting them. That's why there are all these expensive skill trees, right?

It may not be super effective, but dual falcons in an AI role is a heck of a lot of fun.  Hitting both is a one-shot without flak.

Well yes, actually, that's precisely the case. "Winning"? What exactly is winning in this game anyway? Capping a base? The enemy will cap it right back twenty minutes later. The only permanent measure of success is the number of certs earned. And also various stat numbers, I guess. KD and such. I find it infinitely amusing that people who run around capping bases look down upon people who run around trying to get a high KD, completely ignoring the fact that they themselves are also just padding a number on the stats screen, just a different one (namely "bases capped").
