Dreis Shadowweaver D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 67	Posted - 2014.08.24 20:47:00 - [1] - Quote I was considering making an alt that specialises in vehicles. I figured I'd make the toon, leave it to cook for a couple of months, then give it a whirl once it's got a couple mil sp. But I just want to ask you guys that already specialise in vehicles, is it fun? Do you enjoy it more than playing infantry? Which vehicle is the most fun? Is it even worth my time? I once took out a soma and drove around in Skirmish and was bored out of my mind; is it always like that? Thx! Well, I once meleed an R.E.... I've only ever known 1.8...

Vehicles are slow and boring, lack module choice, racial variety, and unlike guns and infantry domt hack, cap points, or even have to aim. For the most part it is a skillless endeavor though there are some e skilled pilots. Infantry must do all this AND contend with vehicles. Also in obj based games vehicles roll yolo solo and dont really focus on winning. Just on themselves doing well. Pc they used to be essential, not sure now, havent played a pc in a month.

Coleman Gray Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 1157	Posted - 2014.08.24 21:01:00 - [8] - Quote Don't think of vehicles as a role rather than powerful tools. If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1909	Posted - 2014.08.24 21:08:00 - [10] - Quote I did this and let me say, I would rather have speced into vehicles on my main. While vehicles are fun and all, it's tough to only be able to use them and nothing else. It's not about imbalance or anything, but some matches just don't need vehicles as much as others. If your going to make an alt, migh as well just start with your main and build up your vehicle side while using your infantry skills in the meantime.

Nope its no fun, requires no skill, and is a wholly unrewarding class/ role with no noticeable benefits...... on top of it its bland and lacks any complex or interesting mechanics. If you want vehicle gameplay War Thunder Ground Forces does tank and fighter combat very well. "We were commanded us to burn the system...We did.

gustavo acosta Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 194	Posted - 2014.08.24 23:05:00 - [16] - Quote I don't know where all this negativity is coming from...My Methana, Saga, and Saga-II are the funnest ways for me to take out Tanks, and ADs. I even got Derith Eraditar's ADs in my Saga and basic railgun fit. I guess vehicles are only fun if you can kill things with them, like anything else in this game. But if you have the soul, open mind, and driving skills. Then I would suggest speccing into LAVs and Small Turrets if you want a fun vehicle with relatively little investment.(All you really need is basic vehicle core skills in order to use LAVs decently) Gallente scout, heavy, logi, and assault Eternal Can I haz ur isk?
The-Errorist SVER True Blood 801	Posted - 2014.08.24 23:07:00 - [17] - Quote When u get to like 30mill SP into vehicles, in general the experience is neutral. I don't recommend it unless you don't care about how much ISK you spend, like to fly dropships, and or have a group that can support you.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1923	Posted - 2014.08.24 23:08:00 - [18] - Quote I like vehicles better. I hate the running around in circles rinsing and repeating with the hoppy, jumpy arena crap of "infantry" combat. There is less of all that with vehicles. I need variety. I usually am just piddling around anyway. I don't get the need for treating a video game so seriously as most of these people. Until infantry combat is like infantry combat and not a nerf arena rumble I'll stick mostly with vehicles. Brick tanking a scout suit since April 2013!

Riptalis Horizons' Edge Proficiency V. 53	Posted - 2014.08.25 00:45:00 - [21] - Quote Yes! ADS all the way! It's actually pretty fun flying around dodging forges left and right. Let me warn you though, it can be quite expensive in both ISK and SP... Yes, there's a bunch of bs that happens but overall it's exciting! Logistics ak.0 ADS Pilot PSN: Riptalis
SGT NOVA STAR 1.U.P 253	Posted - 2014.08.25 00:57:00 - [22] - Quote I like how people think just because you have a tank that your a tanker, same with pilots. If you don't have the skills mentally. Or map awareness, you'll just be a wannabe. Make sure your ready isk wise and skill wise before wasting your time. It can be fun but don't expect to giggle all day long, it's not suppose to be fun, your a tool to help your team. VAYU! I CHOOSE YOU!
TEBOW BAGGINS GREATNESS ACHIEVED THRU TROLLING 1170	Posted - 2014.08.25 01:00:00 - [23] - Quote it's been one of the most rewarding grinds of my gaming experience. if you learn 2 fly dropships the SP sink into vehicle upgrades is extremely rewarding. you slowly watch you DS become more and more powerful as you learn more and more how to fly better, the 2 aspects working together is very cool. i regret spending not one point into it, i'm around 17mil SP into vehicle upgrades, turrets, and ships. if your an EVE player you will like this because it feels like EVE how your vehicles become more powerful. the last time i had an experience like this was in star wars galaxies i leveled up pilot and ship crafting together. the vehicle upgrades will push your DS into the OP zone when you have 100s of hours of flying to back it up. that extra sliver of shield or armor that is supported from your upgrades will save your ship many times over, you often survive a near catastrophe with a sliver of HP that would not have been there without the vehicle upgrades. it also transfers beautifully to my methana that is not easy to destroy. it also allows you to fly MLT ships that become difficult to destroy, just like running MLT suits on ground with the SP to back it up. imo going strait to ADS without vehicle upgrades will not go to well, it's like skilling into a proto suit before anything else- not a good idea. your ADS doesn't have the upgrades to survive outside of academy and you will be wasting isk flying a paper ship.

Pc they used to be essential, not sure now, havent played a pc in a month. it's hard to convince PC infantry that my ship isn't complete without my gunner. we average about 4 tank kills per pub. there are some solo ADS pilots who can do the same tho. in the perfect scenario i am transporting hackers and hotdropping AV- we all ambush the tank at once. i started flying before ADS existed so all the support/transport stuff most ADS pilots wont do and flying with a gunner was already normal for me. the nose cannon was just a bonus. if i could prevent blues from stealing my ship i could get out and hack. hot extracts are a thrill for me. yea but then we get another pilot in are squad who solo ADS and usually ends up shadowing us, gets zero kills, and tries to fly really close to us like he wants us to pay him attention for flying like an ass hole.

Or rarely the mcc missiles... and sometimes someone jumps on your ship and the camera zooms in so you can't see... Or an lav ramps into you... Or you hit your mcc while using your afterburner... Other then those couple of things ads is great! HIGHLY recommend it. VAYU! I CHOOSE YOU!
