The new physics engine is horrible with vechicles I think. When I first started planetside I picked the maurader because it had very good handleing and could ramp easily, my two favorite things in a vechicle besides the big pounder on the back of the maurader . With the new physics engine my maurader is extremly heavy seeming to weigh 20 tons, handles like an ams or worse, and I have to try hard to ramp where before it came naturally. Shouldn't a light truck vechicle be easier to handle then a heavy semi ams? I think that they should go back to the old physics engine or get a new one. Why try and make things to realistic, I play games to get away from reality not come as close as I can to it.

The Thresher now glides easially over terrain and rides like a dream without taking damage (Except on a few high points on hills and such). I can't wait to run people over MWHAHAHAHAHAHA>..

And now that the Thresher actually has some advantages over the Magrider (before the only thing the thresher had over the mag was slightly better accel and the ability to go into narrower places) it's actually worth the 3 points

That thing was made outta eggshells before

As for the physics engine, I haven't noticed anything. Then again, I usually am on my basilisk, which ramps on hitting pebbles.

It's weaponry and armor is still nothing compared to the Magmower. But I use it as a scout/transport/escort vehicle, not assult.

I hope this doesn't effect how harassers fly off hills and stuff, that was so mad back in beta.

Has anyone ever seen a thresher that wasn't either destroyed, abandoned, or in the process of being destroyed or abandoned?

They look cool but the gun is still crap.

The Marauder's totally screwed up now. Much slower acceleration over about 43 kph, top speed down to 78 kph from 80, turn radius is horrific now. It's like driving a pre-patch Sunderer or AMS. Other folks on the main PS forums are complaining about Vanguard handling changes, and screen-shake when gunning Vanguards or Prowlers.

BTW, people griped in the test server forums for DAYS before this went in, SOE didn't seem to want to listen when folks said the Marauder had been badly gimped.

I don't think I like the changes as seen from a deliverer. If it was my car, I would get the suspension checked.

Marauder and Thresher both got 300 more armor to bring them up to the 1200 that the Enforcer's always had. The Thresher sounds like it's a lot better now, which is great, buggies rock, I love 'em. That's why I'm so cheesed off about the Marauder, it went from a really fun ride to just a total POS with one patch. Hopefully they'll fiddle with the numbers to get the Marauder (and Enforcer if it needs it) back up to snuff. If the Marauder stays the way it is, I expect you'll see usage of it drop off by 2/3 or more, and you'll see more Lightnings, Prowlers, Sunderers, and Harassers.

Whenever I used to see a thresher (pre-patch) it was abandon and hacked by my squad

Yeah I'm probably going to pick something else up instead of the maurader for awhile until something gets changed about this, anybody know if the harrasser still turns and ramps well?

The worst aspect of it is that all the bump and roll is gone when you go offroad. The old physics engine made open terrain driving a lot more fun, and they did it just when I'm getting ready for some short bus racing.
