Just ran with a player named PooeyPilot (I think) using a Methana with a Missile Launcher. Sure, say what you want about small missile launchers being over-powered but it's actually a really cool set up.
He had 10 kills off the turret, I had 3 from running people down - including an accidental kill from ramping ontop of the building at Alpha and squishing someone. We died once.
It's mostly about keeping mobile - you hold still for just a second and you're gone. Most people say it's like driving on ice but it's actually intended that way - I think - as drifting with the vehicle is INCREDIBLY easy and LOTS of fun. It can go in reverse as fast as it can go forward, and over-all once you get the hang of it (like dropships) it's an incredibly useful tool against HAVs.
HAV's, particularly with Railguns (which most of you use), can't turn very fast. The LAV can dance circles around a Sagaris and take it down in quick succession as it can out-run it, as long as you're not in close-quarters you'll be fine. We had some difficulties with Dropships but driving under buildings/piping remedied that quickly as the dropship pilot has to focus on navigating as well as allowing his men to fire - splitting his focus.
In the end, I'm incredibly impressed, and now that I've had my fun with the Surya and her beastly weaponry - I think it's time to enjoy the fun of the Methana/Limbus =) |

Dodged the swarm missiles - forge gunners couldn't get a proper shot off due to the speed. Swarm missiles will try to intercept but if you're moving quickly you can round corners or actually fly -through- the spread of the missiles and they'll hit the ground behind you. |

Looking for some fun in this boring game... Wanna know how long before my money goes to waste.
I don't understand the nature of this question |
