Damn a scatmax killing a lightning? He must have been real dumb. Its easy to stay out of a scatmax's range and pumble it with shells. 3rd choke just scratches its paint. Takes 4 shells to kill a max and prolly take 4 more if the nc max has shields. Its shells have a much more stream line arc then other shells so its enough to pluck vs maxes out of the air with. Im TR so I dont have to fight TR maxes but im assuming they have the worst chance against any vehicle. Yeah I refuse to use the lightning against magriders alone, its speed and agility is good enough to dodge vanguard shells but not pin point accuracy of the rail beam. I use hit and run tactics vs a vanguard. Come up to it from behind and empty about 4 shells (3 seconds of firing) into it = 1000 damage, then run away and come back at it from another angle. One time I was in a group of 4 lightnings encluding me and we did a wild west kind of tactic with a vanguard, all four of us constantly moving in a circle around it emptying shells into it. I can only imagine how easy it would be to put a hurt on a prowler with a lightning if used right. Its slower, less armor, big target, and its shell arc is a lot less accurate then a vanguards.
