Limited view cone on Flash is incredibly annoying. Why can't I look around farther than the range the turret can aim? And the way terrain can affect the steering is really annoying too. 

Try in third person. I don't really drive the Flash, but pressing T in a Sundy gives a full 360 field of view.

[Aardwolf]

Nope. I can see a little further behind me, but I still can't turn to look to the side or behind.

[TrashMan]

I may have to try this out

Being mainly a Reaver pilot myself, I learned early on that T is your best friend in a vehicle. It drops the often extremely obtrusive cockpit/HUD displays which are, unless aiming a weapon, mostly useless. What I'd really like implemented in ground vehicles, mostly the Flash as said before, is a free-look like that in aircraft. Granted, this isn't terribly useful in turreted positions, but in others it could be a life saver.

Game is interesting. But it takes FORVER to unlock anything.

Been playing for 2 days and I still don't have enough to unlock even a single rifle. Let alone all the other attachments and additons.

Pricy game. but fun.

[TrashMan]

Things liek this seriously piss me off.

I'm a sucker for gattling guns, yet only the Terran Republic has them...and I don't like their visual armor style - especially for their MAX units.
On the other hand I love NC's visaul design of units and armors, but they have shotguns and not miniguns. And I don't like shotguns.

Not to mention that the prices for the weapons required to extend infantry's effectiveness to AV and AA roles are usually the highest in the entire game (1000 certs just for one burster cannon....)

You also get a burster cannon stock.

[carbine7]

Unfortunately a single burster on its own does little more than annoy anything other than an exceptionally incompetently-piloted fighter.

And that why you're supposed to play with friends.

Try formation flight without the HUD- no altitude, no speed, coordination is no longer "Let's fly to the WP at altitude 500 and speed 120" (or saying the same thing using purely pilot language), especially with a spread of 50-100 meters between planes to perform a Thach Weave if the need arises.

I would use T more......... If the view rotated with the aircraft.

But nope, it stays level with the ground, so all it does when doing more then cruising to the next place you need to go is get you crashed.

So with the new patch and bounty system I got a 650-ish kill on a Sundy today, with a single "extreme priority target" on board.

AP shell velocity was also buffed for the Prowler and Vanguard (especially the V), so now shooting planes is even easier- and it's a pretty good business since quite often the crew is worth 150-350 each.
In fact the Vanguard's big gun firing AP ammo is now an overgrown sniper rifle, slowly beginning to score head shots with it...

Who's playing in outfits, what are their names?
I'm the founder and leader of the Redneck Hillbillies of Auraxis [RHA] on the Lithcorp server.

[Scourge of Ages]

I don't currently have one, but would be up for one that doesn't expect a whole lot. SolTech, US EAST.

[TrashMan]

I got a character on Lithcorp.... NC..or was it TR? Hm...will have to check.

[technopredator]

It's a game that you're suppose to play over many months, like any other MMOG, so certs I think they're OK, I feel your pain but it what it takes to be in PS2, 1000 certs are not that much when you get BR 30 or so, you need to learn the game before worrying about certs, tactics/strategy, follow a group and be a team player re things that need practice, certs will come along, also 250 XP=1 cert.

[Aardwolf]

Finally got the certs and got a grenade launcher for my ****ty ATV!

Limited view and fire angle is still as annoying as ever, but totally worth it for the surprise factor of an ATV coming through the second-floor doorway of control point A in a watchtower and blowing you away with a grenade launcher

[TrashMan]

How the hell do you get a Sunderer on the second floor?

[KyadCK]

How the hell do you get a Sunderer on the second floor?

Drive up the stairs.

Or do it my way; carry it on the back of a Galaxy to the intended destination.

[Aardwolf]

Not a Sunderer, a Flash.

And yes, drive it up the stairs.
