LOL creeping forward ass-first in my Lightning was actually an oft-used PS1 tactic of mine if I thought I'd have to make a quick retreat or had little room to maneuver (like a bridge or base cy).
I'm sure I'll do the same with it in PS2.

I'm guessing the flak will behave like the old Skyguard's where its slow muzzle velocity will force you to actually
lead you targets, so simple point-and-click won't cut it. No LCD there.

No, the lower armour and lack of a dedicated gunner are the balancing factors. IMO It shouldn't be deliberately made easier to hit as well as that defeats much of the purpose of being fast to begin with.

Yes, they could give it back its coaxial LMG.
Seriously though, awesome speedy response from the Devs at catering to our whims as usual. You guys R0000L!

HELLS YEAH! If they offered a Rail Gun as an unlock for the VS Lightning I'd probably never drive anything else!
They said each empire would get their own ES weapon unlocks for common pool vehicles, so we can always hope...!
