Whats your favorite vehicle??

I was just wondering what your favorite, and least favorite vehicles are,
and why. So just post whatever

The Basilisk, for a variety of reasons. It provides the only stable and fast transportation for ReXos, and it has a mild combat ability that sometimes turns into a devestating tool.

Fav is a tie between a Reaver and Mosquito... can't beat the mobility and firepower...

Least Fav is any ground vehicle on a very hilly continent... OMG is that annoying...

Ya, I would have to say that the Reaver is one of my fav's because it has more armor than a mosquito and more firepower. Also because i love to fly in this game.

My least fav would have to be LoadStar or something because they have no fire power, but if use correctly, they can be pretty afective.

You obviously haven't seen the recent characters sprouting up bearing the name "GalCrasher#" or "LodeCrasher#".

They absolutey rack up base kills, because the explosion and damage of the impacting aircraft take out everything, including MAXs. Huge kills, particularly at Vehicle terminals.

My favorite is a tie between the Vanguard and the Skyguard, because they live so long and give me so many kills when I gun them. And everyone hates them.

Least favorite is the Reaver. It's Planetside's version of the TIE Fighter: fast, appears in huge numbers, and is a flying death trap.

AMS- Gives me a sense of ownership and you can't have a really good battle without one

Harasser- Agile, Radar invisable, decent weaponry, and it has that "I'm driving a buggy around a war" feel to it. Great design too.*

Enforcer-My favorite empire buggy because it hybridizes good speed with absolutely devastating firepower against vehicles.*

Prowler- I see the need for two gunners as an advantage because it can be devastating if you're on teamspeak

Least Favorite Vehicle- Reaver, just because there's so freaking many of them.
Most Dissapointing Vehicle- The router; great design, but woefully underpowered in the range department. Also, the switchblade. It suffers the same problems TR MAXes do. decimator bait when locked down. Needs regenerating armor, a directional shield, or an armor boost when deployed.

* All buggies (wheeled, anyway) need a handbreak for powerslides and spinouts a la Unreal Tournament 2004

Oh, I should've mentioned the Enforcer, because while it's good for vehicles, it's godly against infantry because of its damage (direct AND splash) and clip size.

I know lots of NC drivers that set up Enforcers right outside of base entrances, just behind the Vanguards, and fire in. It is precision aim, with no arc, and really, really hurts.

I've shot a lot of decimator midgets who thought they could run out, fire one off, then hide from incoming shots. You can't outrun an Enforcer shot.

I don't believe this was intended, though, but it's a good touch of realism.
