I think it's the Leviathan that can be deployed, not the tank.

The Leviathan is a 5 man death machine that is described as "being able to level entire cities."

OMG BAALANCE!

Speaking of that, I really want to try out the rest of the vehicles. When is the game supposed to come out anyway?

Anarki3x6 · February 17, 2004, 04:11:15 PM

welllll , gamespot says on 3/16/04 . . .
so within the next month XDDD

first game ima try is some space battle of sorts !! cuz that looks great

the 'rest' of the vehicles is a mixture of disappointment and 'OMG'. 1 is a spacefighter (cool but not wow), one is the leviathan which I confused with the goliath (black hole gun... redeemers? who needs em? XD ) and one that I feel cheated they included as a vehicle; the unmanned bomber plane. That's right... they counted the plane that nukes your target when you're weilding an ion painter as a vehicle; one of the 9 =/

I'm thinking I missed out a vehicle... ~blink~ is there a dropship or something?

I can't wait for modders to get a hold of this...

TAC:UT! WOO HOO!

Anarki3x6 · February 17, 2004, 09:32:34 PM

I love flying the redemmer around

The manta is great but nothing beats when you actually get 3 people to fully man the hellbender. Thats some fun stuff.

Anarki3x6 · February 18, 2004, 06:30:46 PM

wait till the leviathan gets a good fully manned crew in the full game . .
thatll be tough to stop

Not really, some dick with a lightning gun will probably be able to kill it in one shot >:(

In case you didn't find out, the goliath can take two ion blasts... but a lightning rifle completely pwns it. This game has such terrible balance...

sonic · February 19, 2004, 06:12:32 AM

manta > you ^_^

Anarki3x6 · February 19, 2004, 09:28:19 AM

yeah, the lightning gun is a bit overpowered against vehicles
they gota fix that...

Grimm · February 19, 2004, 02:24:45 PM

Yea, a Goliath shouldn't go down to 12 lightning shots.

And why in the hell does a Goliath go down to a Redeemer shot, but a Raptor doesnt?

Anarki3x6 · February 20, 2004, 08:11:39 AM

if a redeemer rocket hits a vehicle it explodes, same like an avril sort of but with minimal damage.
if the redeemer explodes next to a vehicle , the vehicle gets really hurt.
thats what ive experienced so far...

Grimm · February 20, 2004, 04:44:37 PM

I've tested it on a few occasions, actually. Tanks are wiped out completely and nearly immediately, Raptors are left with enough health left to need an Avril to take it down in one more hit.

Venmoch · February 22, 2004, 03:27:54 AM

Well if we really are being pedantic all the vehicles should "die" when in the area of a redeemer explosion.

If not from the blast but the EMP given off by it.

As for raptors they're just avril fodder... but if you don't have an avril (I ALWAYS pick one up before I go anywhere) then you're in deep doodoo =P

You just need a strong strafe relative to the missiles and you can avoid them indefinitely - and/or you can use the enviroment to get rid of them. They're really only dangerous if you went somewhere and sat still.

Generally I'm no big fan of their air-vehicle handling though. It feeling sluggish is okay, but when a purely action-oriented controls layout comes sluggish like that its just stupid. Give me instruments and sensible controls if I'm already supposed to deal with inertia.

And to whoever had problems with gunning the Hellbender, just hit 1-3 for the different positions in it. Yay.
