Vehicles SuXorZ

I really dont like any of the vehicles they just dont seem to fit in this game. They remind me a lot of the Tribes 2 vehicles. The jeep is basically that small little scooter thing, the tank looks pretty much like the tank in T2 cept it can rocket propel itself lol...then the planes are pretty dumb as well.. I wish the devs would have jus gone back to the style of T1 where planes are jus used for transport. I loved getting in heavy and flying overhead in the transport and shooting mortars at the enemy base....hopefully the modders will get some aircraft like this in the game. I would rather not even have any ground based vehicles, and jus have 1 transport ship and 1 fighter plane instead of these 2 Unreal like planes...

I'm sorry, I stopped reading because I was laughing too hard at "Jeep is basically the little scooter thing"

You're aware that the "Jeep" (it's called a Rover btw) is more like the MPB than any vehicle in Tribes 2? Only it goes pretty fast so it's actually useful.

The tank could use some tweakage on it's main gun, but thats about it.

Pod/Fighter and bomber (think it's called bomber..embarassing since I corrected you on jeep :D ) are damn near perfect, though the Pod is a bit to spam-a-rific.

the assault ship (not bomber :P) is broken, plain and simple. it has a glorifyed mortar on the front. I CAN HIT AN ENEMY BASE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP. its a freaking bomber, not an ariel mortar platform.

I just wish the tank drove like a tank, with the turret aim independant of the movement.

jump tank is by far my favorite vehicle

But ya, being able to drive one way and shoot another would be VERY nice.

Yeah, I'd also like to see the bomber have more of a downward trajectory. Right now it lobs the bombs, much like a mortar. I can see this being a big exploit once people get good with it, and blind spamming from max altitude in the middle of the map will surely be a staple of competition if it remains this way.

I just want the ability to get more speed about of a flying vehicle. I already miss the vehicle rammings, and ability to actually gain speed from a vehicle.

the pod is too strong, yes, but maybe that is because the "counters" for it (chain gun and rocket pod) are not very easily used against its easily spammable rockets.

pod freaking pisses me off

pod idiots also piss me off

Vehicles are stupid in any game but a driving/flight sim.
How many people play 'First Person Shooters' for the ability to fly around in a reject tie-fighter type vehicle, aside from ZProtoss..

:ftard:

Here is actually a good reason to fly the pod. It will take out an enemy assault ship in about 5 seconds, granted that you can sneak up on it's 6. (i.e., above or below it's rear end)

The effective counters are other pods, chain guns (especially with speed packs, or e-pack boost), disc ma's, laser rifles, burners, bomber guns, rover gun, and stationary turrets.

And if you don't like vehicles, stick to cavern and emerald for now, and go ahead and drop on Isle and Winterlake, because you obviously can't effectively use one of the above 8 different counters for the pod... :shrug:

:heart:

The ground vehicles need some form of weight to them.. Right now they feel like they are made of tinfoil the way they bounce around

YES! my thought exactly, when do they use for building battle vehicles in the future? A futuristic Aluminium-Poop compound?

The tank flips around like it's a wet cardboard box in a tornado, it's TANK for pete's sake.
Make them fun and believable or remove them.

(like anyone gives a rats ass what I think)

I don't mind any of the vehicles except the pod. They are way too powerful to ignore. It seems like something that would better fit into renegades.
