Ivy Zalinto Bobbit's Hangmen 315	Posted - 2014.03.17 14:12:00 - [1] - Quote So during the event I decided to try something new for myself. I swapped over to my vehicle character for a little while and played with my builds. Dipping into a few loyalty points I decided to buy a missile turret for my tank and remove the railgun. The original reason i specked railguns was that nobody used them. This is generally what appeals to me as far as weapons go, being the fact they are unused. So swapping over to this missile boat instead of the railgun it forced a different playstyle due to long reload times. It was a stealth tank, as hard as that sounds to be. My kill count for tanks during this event was roughly 30 tanks and I didnt lose a tank. Missile turrets seem to suit me better than rails did. Funny thing was that not only were alot of them standard tanks, they were fighting back. Anyway, just giving a salute to all you missile tankers and a smack to the back of your head for not telling me these were this fun before.... >.> Dedicated Stealth Scout.

You'll be one-volleying almost any armor tank and any unhardened shield tank (well that's with proto missiles, I'm not sure about standard and advanced). I also don't like the booster because it's bugged; it always fails me when I'm being shot by railguns, and that's when I need it the most. Plus it also seems like you give up your small turrets and lows for PG expansion to fit that booster. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

Basic levels. But yes, missiles are fun. The sp from the event is going to give me missiles for my missile large turrets. Dedicated Stealth Scout.

They hit like trucks and can kill a tank before the turret can rotate to face you. Can kill installations in one volley. Their just dangerous Dedicated Stealth Scout.

CommanderBolt ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 1056	Posted - 2014.03.17 16:35:00 - [9] - Quote Mehh, I would not call missile tanks fun. Struggle to hit infantry, huge reload time and to be honest are only really good vs armour tanks. However if you like the challenge then more power to you! Having said that I have been thinking of putting some more SP into large missiles now I have my railgun where I want it. I do agree that they are 'stealth' mode though. With a railtank if I do spot a missile tank I make sure I keep reasonable distance otherwise its game over if they catch you coming round a corner. (They do have a tendency to sneak up on you though lol) Investigate 9/11

Dauth Jenkins Ultramarine Corp 234	Posted - 2014.03.17 16:39:00 - [12] - Quote Ok, so the booster is bugged. That explains why I die from railings in my python even though I hit my hardener and booster, and my shields stay at 0....followed by my armour hitting 0 and me falling out of the sky Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe... Pulls out commando suit with laser rifle and swarm launcher...

I still don't completely take out either double hardened maddies or hardened shield tanks. I am right on them and landing every shot. Then, because I only have one hardener I get shot down because I'm right there on them. Shooting from farther back is worse with damage. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!
