Can I ask about the reavers mustang main cannon. From the description it sounds like a kind of explosive buckshot gun.

two questions:

A) is it effective against tanks?

B) can you dogfight with it?

My most satisfying kill(s) was when I snuck behind the TR main push with a skyguard lightning, parked it in range of the aircraft landing pads where mizzies were clearly reloading, and killed like 3 mizzies and a liberator.

On another note, I rarely see the liberator used in the way its advertised to be used. Usually when attacking ground everyone just grabs the ESF rocket pods and flies in, despite the liberator supposedly being the "gunship" or ground attack air unit.

I'm tired of seeing rocks all the time, at least the Indar TR area has some trees, but NC is rocks rocks rocks.

There ARE two other continents...

Whenever I'm on they're always empty.

Sweet Mathersons going to get some new players . A lot of people have been noting a drop in VS population since the magrider nerf, I don't know how credible that is, I only joined after that update. But I rarely see VS push past howling pass, they concern themselves with TR more than us.

Two out of three factions agree- no one pities the VS.

I just bought tank mines, and I'm going to try that flash thing.

I also bought the NS/NV 1x scope, and why haven't I been using this on all my guns jesus.

Just last night the TR were pushing up to Suarva BioLab. Completely ignored Dahaka for some reason. So after dying in a reaver five times, I figured, their air support must be resupplying at the Indar Excavation Site. So I buy a little skyguard lightning, and roll down into sight of Indar. I killed like 3 misquitos and a liberator. It was awesome.

Y'know, I think I saw you and a few other Skyguard lightnings last night. CML was the crew that was counter-pushing up by Suarva- if they didn't show up in their counter-armor push, NC would probably be pushed back to the gate.

It was fun sniping the footies as CML pounded them and pushed back.

Yeah I think the skyguard needs a bit of a range/bullet velocity buff, you can shoot a lot farther with AI MAX suits, best upside to the skyguard is that its the best available offensive AA cannon.

But more then that, I wish AA gunners would just wait to fire until the enemy air is nearly right overhead. I see people shooting at mizzies when they're on approach in the distance, they just turn around and thrust off to repair, then they're at it again in a minute.

If the reaver has the best afterburner, then it wouldn't matter, still got a slower turn radius, slower non-burner max speed, I only see the afterburner used to bug out for repair (well, there's that barrel roll turn too , which is really nice). In a dogfight afterburner won't do much.

Obviously faked video though. He's wearing a seatbelt.

Actually the cars passing him can't be seen out the driver side window. So it is fake. But I love it anyway.

This seems relevant

Links to that comic should come with warnings like TvTropes comes with warnings. So many words.

Not that I didn't read it... or haven't read it before. hehe.
