Well lookit that!

I like that it's called the skyguard turret. That will either cause people to shutup or massive whining. Knowing PSU...I'd go with the latter.

It looks nice - Its orginal role Role a single player anti vehicle tank, and a machine gun effective against infantry. A good role now gone - A new Role
Anti vehicle and a Air Defense Weapon. A solo vehicle that helps to eliminate a team oriented weapon the skyguard. Its going to be interesting to see how many rounds of Flack and Anti Armor rounds its going to hold.

With Big Tanks, Bang Buses, and Lightnings who needs Air defense vehicles.
I'm whinning please keep the Skyguards. Don't kill vehicles that can hold two players that have too work together. Gunner and driver coordinated to kill those nasty reavers. Or at least make the Lightning a two man job. Stop the solo player mindset. please. Ok enough whinning.

And Hamma I see the VS and the NC have infiltrated your board. So the TR will have to kill them all and make them the yellow bastards they are

i agree it looks way longer then it needs to be, honestly end it a few feet infront of the headlights and it would look great.

Agreed. Waiting for the redo. I'm amazed T-Ray didn't catch that and send it back. They should do anonymous polling within the company and redo things if they get more than 1/3rd dislikes honestly. Ideally everything should be objectively well liked where things like "it's too long" isn't an immediate complaint.

Personally I think it's great at the length it is. It's a much beefier version of the Lightning, especially when you look at what came before it. The height is also much lower as well, but its hard to really get a sense of scale in these shots.

Re: The Lightning


I like the look, but it seems much heavier than I expected. I'm concerned that I may have difficulty distinguishing it from the Vannie...

I agree. I thought that was a heavy tank. Looks nothing like the PS1 lighting. Is this for real. How could they even call it the lighting. It looks to slow and heavy armored.
