Here is a link to the video: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgGL1jcHAPo&feature=youtu.be[/url]
I think it is funny they call it exclusive but I am pretty sure all you had to do was sign up for the newsletter and not only that the video is just a unlisted video so all you need is the link.
I made a GIF from the video of the aircraft.

I hope troops in the back can use their weapons like the Flash or harasser
Certified Space huey
Rumble seats is all I wanted. I wonder if they can make the passenger's ammo restock or something or at least extend the max ammo cap when in rumble.

Futur Littlebird wooo
Now we can [I]really[/I] simulate Black Hawk Down!
Will be interesting to have anti air heavy assaults in those with lock on rocket launchers or if they let us 2 anti air maxes.
The thing I want to know is how powerful the main gunners gun is and also the cost to spawn this thing.

There's no way MAXes would fit in that thing. Plus, if they could it would start making the galaxy a bit obsolete.
Also I hope it wont give infantry fall damage immunity when exiting like the gal does, or at least a very short ranged immunity. It'd mean you have to put more thought into dropping off troops as well as furthering the distinction between it and the gal. Also doing the whole 'nam style mass huey drop offs would look glorious, but that's not really a good reason for wanting it.
I expect it to be cheaper than a lib, the main gun will be a basilisk-tier turret and no MAXes in the rumbles. As they said they want it to be a quick hot-drop vehicle, therefor it will probably not be a dedicated gunship. A gunship would also rival on the Liberator's role, which would be pointless.
Hehe have 2 guys with C4 in the rumble seats and have them drop it high above a sundy then dive and finish it off with the main gun. [del]Or fly over a convoy of enemy vehicles and drop anti tank mines in their path.[/del] Actually I don't know if you can just throw anti tank mines but I know you can with C4. And of course this is if to say that the C4 wont get caught on your own aircraft otherwise you will have to turn onto your side when throwing it.

they will be able to(told in the video)
It'll be great sitting there with lock on weapons or just any RPG.

Actually not a bad idea. If you've seen Paqu's flash C4 videos, he'll probably do something even more evil with the Valkyrie.
I wish they would put four rumble seats in it rather than 2.

Either way, you can be rest assured I will be dropping all of my certs into one of those.
I'll drop all my certs then cry that I don't have any friends to use it with.

I hope they pull a Sunderer and make you choose between extra rumble seats or some other utility. It'd help balance the thing.
Would be interesting to have 2 men each side as you could have 2 engineers and 2 heavies. Engineers for in flight repair + dropping mines and C4 with the heavy assaults for anti air rockets and C4.
Only problem is if it could end up being considered too op as something like 4 heavies with lock on rockets would be a pain in the ass to fight against.
They could just make it so that you couldn't us launchers in the rumble seats.

I understand the thought behind this. The liberator had great powerful guns for the pilot to use and could be devastating to an enemy ESF if you landed the hits but the liberator is a big heavier, slower aircraft so it is not as easy to do as the ESF could maneuver out of your nose cannon.
This aircraft seems to fit the bill of the middle ground as it is smaller, lighter and hopefully faster and more maneuverable than the liberator. This aircraft has a dedicated front gunner as stated in the video so for a well trained small team this aircraft could be a deadly foe to fight against or be caught off guard by in a dogfight. You might not be as fast or maneuverable as an ESF but hopefully you will be able to dish out loads of damage to ESFs with that front gunner.
Seems to me like a multipurpose vehicle. If anti air rocket launchers can be used in your rumble seats this will be a great defense vehicle for guarding your skies and at the same time can quickly transport some men around and engage in dogfights.
Not another fucking NS vehicle! I know it's easy to balance and all, but damn, I really hate how much I find myself having to pull NS vehicles over our own purple ones. SOE needs to add more empire-specific things.
Empire specific weapons on NS vehicles would be nice.
Empire specific variants of NS vehicles would be very nice.

As excited as I am for this, based on their track record, I imaging it will be a while until this actually comes out.
Oh wait, they say late summer in the video, though I still don't have much faith in their dates.
I can see it being halariously overpowered on release, then SOE nerfing it to the ground so it never gets touched again.
See its ground-based equivalent - the Harrasser.
The perspective on that thing is getting me. I keep thinking it's some massive flying fortress that could fit dozens of dudes inside.
I believe they said that they want to buff the harasser a little bit a few weeks ago.
So today i found out that running banshee+fuel tanks on the mosquito is actually quite entertaining
I really wanted to use the banshee but i had no idea what to do against enemy air, as i didn't like tomcats and coyotes (the latter costing an eye and a leg to boot).
So i decided, why not be the most annoying assholes in the skies and simply haul ass whenever someone shows up instead of trying to shoot it down?
Thus my flying harasser loadout was born.
I also added scout radar for a good measure and i simply go around looking for stray infantry trying to flank, infiltrators in mountains and even sneak up on tanks when their engineers pop out to repair and kill them.
It's fairly effective, though without flares or fire suppression rockets are a pain.
YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS!

RIP AND TEAR!

traitorous NC rebels don't know how to shoot a gun properly
"Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you I'm shooting some guy in the face without looking. Uh huh... Hold on sorry I missed the guy at point blank. I wasn't looking where I was aiming because that's what badasses do, right? ...Uh huh... Yeah they're all firing one handed like you told us to. Yeah even the guys with sniper rifles."
I'm more worried about the Vanu guy who had his electronic SPINE LITERALLY RIPPED OUT.

Although to be honest, I'd love more art like this.

Here we can see a NC Heavy Assault trooper breaking both his wrists in shame as his squad is about to be mowed down by a TR advance.
Imagine being able to dual wield guns to replace primary (or do it as the stalker cloak where it just disables your primary)
[editline]24th March 2014[/editline]
it wouldn't go well seeing how some guns can wreck you on their own already, let alone [I]two[/I] of them
[sp]TALKING TO YOU, COMMISIONER[/sp]
[editline]24th March 2014[/editline]
perhaps only a few guns could be dual wielded.
There were a lot of discussion about dual wielding since they mentioned it for light assaults. Pretty much no pistol in the game would go well with it, so they'd have to introduce new guns that dual wield.
