I'm wondering, if you watch, some of the loading screens will indicate "what's what" on the battlefield. If you notice, there's a "Medium sized vehicle" icon.
I'm just assuming that we don't have these vehicles yet in the game and will come with the open beta or full game release.
On a side note, what kind of vehicles do you think they might be? |

We know for a fact that MTACs are going to be added at some point in the future. Almost certainly post-release, but other than SOONGäó I haven't seen a confirmed date for them to show up.
They're basically mechs, so a lot of people are looking forward to them. |

Do you think CCP would really put the medium sized vehicles this early in the games life even though the mechs are a TBA at when that could be released?
Must be something else other than just the mechs. |

It's possible they've got a planned medium air vehicle (gunship?) that hasn't been added yet, and figured they'll give us a full small/medium/large range for both vehicle types just to cover their bases. |

We're pretty sure fighters will be light, while gunships will be heavy. Nobody is really sure about bombers. |

So that explains it.
We have a medium air vehicle. We have light and heavy land vehicles. It's logical to include the unused options for if and when those other vehicle types are created. |

Nope. It indicates different symbols for both medium sized vehicles and medium sized dropships. |

Either you're missing my point, or I'm very confused.
Land vehicles:
Light (Medium) Heavy
Air vehicles
(Light) Medium (Heavy)
When written like (this), indicates that the vehicle class doesn't have any in-game examples yet.
CCP have one vehicle of each class (light, medium, heavy), and have provided graphics for all sizes of both land and air vehicles for convenience, so they don't need to code them in later. |

Real world equivalents would suggest the exact opposite, and Gunships should be LIGHT aircraft. |

We need Atv's with 5 seats. One for driver and 4 for squad. It will have better armor than the Lav, but will generally be slower and lack a turret. Another version could be made with less armor with 5 seats for driver gunner and 3 man squad.
Lavs are great and all, but it would be cool to see a vehicle that could make better use for a convoy. |
