actually, if anything I bet that these will start out being slightly too powerful against reavers/liberators. Reavers may be big and scary to you dirtymonkeys but their armor is made out of a soggy soufle.

The only angles of approach I can see on this puppy would be long distance stand off with chain guns (as someone already mentioned) or swooping down close and fast with missiles, flying nap of the earth.

Depending on the range and power of the flak cannons both techniques will probably be pretty risky.

Hopefully the dynamic that this will encourage is for ground troops to make targeting them a priority so that they can get air cover.

Speaking of airpower, how many bombs do you think a liberator is going to hold? Will they be able to carpet bomb a tower long enough to pin the enemy inside all by themselves?

Pretty easy to just have a liberator fly over a local tower and bomb it into dust before the ground troops move in.

I really hope they get rid of the tower system at some point.

Just use the afterburner assualt. Line up your shot infront of the target, start firing and hit the afterburner. This groups all of your missles in a small group just behind your reaver, just before hitting the target pull up and hes meets the worst pain in history. Ofcourse, if your to far away when you start the afterburn all those missles will explode under you, and that really really really hurts.

When?


Just a quick question:

When will the Liberator and Skyguard be "released"?

�io?! You hate the Reaver as much as I do?!



I dunno... Putting aside the fact that I'm a piss-poor Reaver pilot, I could never seem to lead the rockets I shot quite right to hit fast moving targets. It is MUCH better to make this AA buggie almost immune to the Reaver's rockets by allowing them to dodge them (mAtRiX stILE!!!111 ) rather than have it deployable. I mean... if you had to set the thing up it better be a damn RAILGUN. Four shots to take down a Gal, maybe 2 for a Reaver, and nigh instant hit. Then and only then might I consider an AA deployable vehicle/gun.

If this allows reinforced armor (which it should) I think it will be pretty popular. I mean when you are cruising to a base with your buddy in reinforced in your harraser or empire specific buggy-- what is your big concern? Tanks? Nah just out run them.. it is aircraft!! None of the buggies are good vs aircraft. So this ends up becoming an ideal transport vehicle that can protect and attack vs air.

Looks to be a good thing overall.
