Too crap at midrange, too low of damage. I've got better luck at midrange with the fuckin bolt doohickey.
I have to congratulate the pilot of the last carrier I was in. He;
- First flew in the opposite direction of the battle for five minutes
- Then Flew directly into a group of tanks shooting at him
- Finally decided to give up, locked the vehicle (It was at 75% health) and had at least a dozen or so of us fall out of the sky.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38429737]just about all of it. there's a reason everyone on TR is heavy assault[/QUOTE]
As an NC, I will just say [i]no[/i].
There's been times on TR where I've been the only HA trying to fend off hordes of tanks while my teammates have been useless LA's, saying all of TR goes HA is just inaccurate.
The only time i've been like "FUCK TR AND THAT FUCKING RETARDED GUN HOLY FUCK FUUUUUUUCK"
is everytime i'm in a biolab and they all pull out that fucking chaingun.

At least we can appreciate the badass sound it makes while it tears us a thousand new assholes.
It would be cooler if who was winning wasn't so one sided every night. Last night NC destroyed everyone in amerish, tonight it's TR's turn. Every team seems to focus on the continent that the others aren't paying as much attention to so it's just every team steam rolling one of them. There are some exceptions though.
And rolling around in a huge convoy owns, I always thought the roads were a little big until we actually needed someone to direct traffic. I honestly don't trust friendly vehicles anymore, i've had multiple people try to ram me off the road, one pushed me all the way down a hill until I exploded.
Well last night it was really the TR's fault for focusing too much on Indar while they were losing Amerish. There was no way they could have taken all of Indar, but they could have prevented us from taking their Amerish continent benefits.
For a while there I just kinda sat at a base, capturing it, watching the map, I swear my side (NC) were kinda just picking directions to expand out at random. We, for some reason, weren't even attempting to take out all of the area around our central (And pretty much last) piece of land, instead, just funnelling them in towards us :v:

that reason is that the other factions spam MBTs all the time
[QUOTE=Pie108;38418450]Vanu West server. We're the only ones without a continent. :([/QUOTE]
We just conquered esamir tonight.
Oh good I was wondering what went on with that.
Was apart of a platoon coordinating esamir operations earlier, and we were doing really well but right as we were just a couple of territories shy of kicking NC's cont lock bonus off, they managed to swell in with almost 45% of the pop (along with us vanu, poor TR at 8-12%) and started taking back large chunks of land with big focused counterattacks. Stopped playing at around that point.

no that's just vanu
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38432302]no that's just vanu[/QUOTE]
hahaha no.
So without any knowledge or prior research I just hopped into the game and played for about an hour.
First thoughts: It's fun
Second thoughts: Unoptimized as shit. Are there any tricks to make it run better? Impossible to do anything but spray and pray at 30 fps.
Play on low settings. It looks fine.
medium performs better on most systems

Got everything on empty. Game looks godawful and still lags.

Heard about this somewhere. Tried it. It didn't help.

I bet you lost at least 4 of those lightnings and one mbt before you made it to your objective. crushed by mbts, and sunderers or just falling off a cliff to their doom.
[QUOTE=Parakon;38431563]It would be cooler if who was winning wasn't so one sided every night.[/QUOTE]
It probably wouldn't be so one-sided if they put in an incentive for defending things. As is it's more logical to go where you're winning and get a shitload of easy XP on the steamroll than it is to try putting up a fight somewhere contested.

one or both of the reavers crashed as soon as we go out of the shield, other than that people were just yelling at each other to stop ramming them and how it isn't a race (it totally is)

yeah, you get defense bonuses I think but other than that there's not much encouragement. I found a p rad outfit to join who organize large scale stuff which is whats going on in the pic, so far there's been a lot less steamrolling and a whole lot more huge defensive and offensive battles.
Just joined up with some guys called the 17th on US East NC.
They were doing semi-organized vehicle rushes.
My favorite was the flash roadkill rush. We kept encountering infantry on the road, so all 12 flashes chased them down and ground them into bloody dirt.

Lol yeah people seem to really like the race idea. I once heard a guy in prox chat literally SCREAM 'I'm not racing!' as a tank pushed his tank off a cliff.

guys only vanu spam tanks.
seriously where did that dumb complaint even come from I see it all the time.
every empire has huge tank columns and it will always happen unless they seriously rethink spawn costs and limitations
[QUOTE=krail9;38433024]every empire has huge tank columns and it will always happen unless they seriously rethink spawn costs and limitations[/QUOTE]
Hunk tank columns are super fun though
Might just be me, but I really, really enjoy being part of a massive conga-line of tanks (even more so if it's night time, I adore the headlight effects).
So are the servers intermittently up and down or are they mostly up with downtime for updates or what?
i've only played for like 3 days but the servers have only ever gone down for updates. I just wish they'd tell you how long it's going to take.
