How high and how far can the VS MAX jump? And does the comet (AV MAX) have homing as a secondary fire mode?

[MiniOrca]

What's a scatterman? Do you mean the big shotgun thing stuck to the NC anti-infantry MAX?

I'll answer this. The VS MAX can jump pretty high, easily clearing walls and being really annoying by jumping onto the roofs of a part of the base. They also have a habit of jumping up to upper levels of towers while the two entrances at the bottom are being heavily guarded.

The Comet does home in, yes. It's actually pretty neat, as it fires plasma bolts which burn up aircraft and vehicles that it impacts. I'm fairly sure the AV MAX fires the same sort of projectile.

The comet is the AV...
Think you've mixed up AA (starfire) and AV (comet) names, else you're saying that the AV fires the same sort of projectile as the AV hehe

Hellsfire your thread is being taken over.

Woah, yeah, you're right. My mistake. General anesthetic has a way of screwing you up. Anyway, no, the AV MAX doesn't have homing projectiles. No Empire has homing AV projectiles. You can fire a pretty impressive barrage of dumb-fire rounds off though, which is pretty good.

I thought the Striker (Terran AV) had a secondary homing fire.

PSU Weapons Page: The Striker serves as the Terran Republic's primary anti-vehicular weapon. In standard firing mode, it launches a dumb fire missile straight towards its target. In secondary firing mode, the Striker will attempt to lock-on to an armored target (heavy assault suit, vehicle, or turret) as long as the reticule is kept on target for a short duration.

Did they change it or is it just those general anesthetics making your brain all screwy again?

Okay, good.

The vanu max doesnt just go pretty high. It sky rockets. You can get to the roof of a watch tower (5 stories) with boost to spare. Its actually amazingly useful in forests, you can get into the trees.

The scattercannon was great the last time i used it. I ran through 5 infantry in a group and killed them all without reloading. It has 3 modes, you cycle through them witha right click. The first is the normal "ima rape u good" close range, the second is a slower small burst with a 2x zoom, and the third is like the 2nd just tighter and with a 4x zoom.

The AA vanu max is great against air. The shots home in, but there are only 4. 4 should kill a misquito, and damage a reaver into retreat. I believe it is 6 shots to kill a reaver. How ever, it takes 6 direct hits to kill standard armor infantry and 9 to kill reinforced. Bear that in mind.

[MiniOrca]

yes, the scatterman is the NC AI MAX, wanted to know how it performed againsts a TR AI MAX. On the beta boards and such i heard the TR was stronger

[�io]

The TR MAX is indeed VERY dangerous. TR is a very powerful empire, i myself would say overpowered but that's just me.

[Venoxile]

I've heard from about 4 people on the station forums and the psu forums together that gauss sucks horribly in close quarters combat. They also said that chaingun is overpowered, and can rip a gausser to bits in about 5-6 seconds close to medium range.

And Vash on the psu forums said that a chaingunner reinforced is almost as powerful as a tr ai max. I'm guessing he was exagerating (sp)?

Yeah, I plan on being a gausser/bolter and plan basically to just take down bases/outposts. I'm not saying all my combat will be indoors, because i'm sure atleast 60% of the time i'm going to be outdoors due to traveling.

So yeah, do you guys think that gauss is a terrible weapon for indoor combat?

[�io]

Haven't used the gauss much so i'll abstain from commenting.
