And I'm terribly sorry that I've never heard of your outfit. So, you can posture all you like. Don't take that as an insult, because apparently you are very defensive about it. I've just never heard of you or your outfit.
Considering you couldn't even get a simple piece of well-known Planetside notoriety right, I'm going to have to say that no, no it doesn't. And all of your forum board-warrioring about how this thread is full of ample evidence about how the Prowler was the best tank EVAR is hollow, social gaffe notwithstanding. You have multiple TR and multiple NC veterans telling you that it was not. You can type a bunch of fucking numbers in here all you like, like "Jimmy bought fifty Prowlers and Johnny bought thirty, how many do they have together?" and it doesn't make a damned bit of difference.
The Prowler sucked. Like people have said - there were no well-known Prowler-pulling units. All the big-name TR outfits focused on either mossie-bailing or Galaxy air assaults.

It's a time warp.
If you took the time to read my posts in this thread, since page one, it's really clear that I'm not trying to convince anyone that the Prowler is the best tank...ev-er. In fact I agree that it's the worst of the three. You ended up piling on with the over aggressive nerd rage crowd in an argument that didn't exist.
As for the outfit tip, you missed so many words in this thread that I have a hard time banking on your memory of 7-9 years ago. In the end it doesn't matter if you 'know who I am, bro.' I know what I was doing back in the day, you know what you were doing, and neither one of us give half a fuck about the other.
I'm sorry to Enclave members for mistaking Konreid as a Euro server. Shit happens, know what I'm saying? Hopefully your e-go's aren't too bruised because I made that mistake. People know who you are.
Some of the posters are comfortable summing up the strengths of VS/NC tanks with words like "maneuverable" or "well rounded", but can't find that same comfort with words like "damage" or "versatile". Why? These words aren't suitable for describing a tank and it's niche in a game?
It makes sense that the Prowler MKII is going to be the fastest tank, the focus on speed just fits the empire. It looks like it will not be a 3 man tank which is fantastic. If it's the worst tank in Planetside 2 I won't be too upset, so long as it's only the marginally bit weaker than it was in the original.
