New pic of TR Prowler - Page 3

While i like the mag (minus the no turret thing), and the van looks great, im still not liking the prowler at all no matter how much i try. It looks like a shoebox with a crooked barrel on top. Odd shape plus the off center barrel just isnt working. Of course the skeeter is meh too so maybe since TR had the coolest stuff in ps1 they get to have the worst in ps2. The infantry models tho do look sweet for tr, just the vehicles, esp this, that are very lacking.

Still don't like the look of the side mounted guns

It looks good, pity some people hate asymmetrical items.

ya, it looks good. perfectly symmetrical everything gets boring after a while. we need some iconic vehicles that standout for this game.

Wow, that bridge will be an awesome place to prepare airstrikes against infantry and vehicles.

I can't get over the asymmetrical look and low ground clearance. I'm TR and regardless how much I try I just can't like the Prowler.

Comparing it to the Vanny and Mag it almost looks like something that was thrown together of left over textures and mesh models over a coffee break.

TR is supposed to be the most militarized of the factions and this tank doesn't show that.
Scrap and redo it

New Prowler pic... still looks like shit. Can't wait to blow those foil-armored baby's toys to the skies with my Vanguard (or maybe Reaver).

I appreciate the work that goes into the design & creation of these vehicle models. However that being said, why is the Prowler now the smallest of all the tanks? Why must it have an off-centre turret arrangement?

We get the Vanu being all science and hover stuff. The NC being (s)crapheap challenge lets modify a tractor or somthing, so why is it the TR... ie the most militaristic of the three factions left with the smaller hull & offcentre turret?

The chassis looks good if but a little bit smaller than its counterparts, very TR very old Prowler without the high rise rear end. Maybe its just the Turret being too small, too low profile & not intimidating enough? That and I can't help but feel its going to tip over to one side...

Anyhow, excellent craftsmanship as always!

*edit*
Why dont you put another 2 gun barrels on the "Right" side to make it symetrical with the left... I could learn to love a 4 barrel tank >: )

Acknowledging a long tradition of biased news, there is nothing better than a small sized-vehicle to justify to the public why 180mm Vanguard canons keep smoking Prowlers every single day.

It's like with the Vanu sovereignty: if it was not for malfunctions, there is no way vanguards should beat our mags.

Prowlers -->

You know, afterall, maybe the NC and VS separated because the republic's tanks were just bad and plain terrible to drive ? Just accept simple facts of life: Vanguards are simply the best tank around while Magriders are the most fun.

There is a good news though: you still have some time left to change your mind and switch to the better factions !

Best solution I've heard put forth to date.

**Malorn** · 2012-04-19, 03:41 PM

That may be an alternate weapon or configuration. The Prowler is supposed to have additional weapon systems, that right side could be where they go.

I am hoping that this is what happens when the Prowler has a dedicated gunner controlling the main gun.

Prowler = 4 barreled main gun

Vanguard = even more ridiculous looking and even bigger main gun

Magrider = slightly bigger main gun on a turret on the top

GhundiPI · 2012-04-19, 09:15 AM

I like it very much, especially the asymmetry of the turret. For me that gives it a more futuristic feeling than if it were symmetric and is a nice break from the 'same old, same old'. Besides even in real life new tech is trending on the asymmetrical side these days.

Canaris · 2012-04-19, 09:29 AM

you know I've been thinking about it and you're right it's definetly the asymmetry I dislike the most, off center things *shudder*

One of the reasons I hated so many ships in EvE.

Shake · 2012-04-19, 10:23 AM

I don't mind the asymmetry but I do think the prowler is way worse looking than the vanguard. The vanguard is menacing, sleek, etc. The prowler is small, looks weak, and ironically looks like it was thrown together using scrap metal whereas the vanguard looks manufactured and flawless...

I get that they want the prowler to look fast and all, but honestly if you asked a random person whether the pics of the vanguard or prowler look faster they would say vanguard. People don't associate wide vehicles with speed. The prowler is almost a square whereas the vanguard is a rectangle.

Aesthetics aside the vanguard is just going to be a much better tank IMO. Speed isn't as useful as firepower when it comes to tanks. It's not like I can run circles around other tanks in a prowler, unless their gunners sensitivity is stupidly low he can just rotate the turret and kill me with superior firepower.

Prowler seems like the worst tank aesthetically and functionally.
