In the really early days (during and just after the closed beta) the Vanu PPA on the Scythe was just obnoxiously OP, and anti air play was so weak. 100 rounds per mag (vs the 26 it has now) and thermal vision. Almost no one had certed into the expensive 1000 cert anti air options yet. I got good at low ground hugging flying and flipping around buildings quickly, and legit felt guilty for the kill streaks I'd rack up. 100 kills per Scythe was an easy average, and it didn't take long either. I used to travel around with my two brothers escorting their sunderer, and during low pop hours we would routinely go 3 vs 10 and easily cap territories due to being able to just lock the enemy out of ever reaching points. It was so bad, but so good for the certs. And to be honest, shameful fun too. Getting road kills on anti air maxes like super mario, and taunting the rare lock-on AA user to reveal themselves, just to tank the hit and shoot back. Very different these days. Get cocky for a second and you're ripped to shreds. I miss it so much, but would never ask for it back.

The values are different for Prowler and Magrider, but HEAT still provides more DPS.

The idea of HESH or high explosive squash head was that the concussive effect caused on impact by a plastic cap on a HE shell will cause spalling in vehicles, killing the crew. The problem is that the spalling issue can be fixed with anti-spall liners and such. Tanks today mostly use APFSDS rounds against enemy tanks. APFSDS has excellent penetration and is less susceptible to countermeasures compared to HEAT shells. HESH rounds today are mostly used against buildings and lighter ground vehicles but HESH aint as widespread as HE for example, which does those jobs just as well.

Playing mostly in 3rd person really helps with aiming while moving once you get the hang of it.

That alone makes it the cheekiest tank in the game. Learn to use that boost to doge shots, and circle strafe other MBTs, but Most importantly don't fight a fight that your not going to win. Know when to retreat and reposition. If you see a Vanguard pop its shield, then dont attack, wait and hit him from a different angle. If they decide to charge you, get ready to boost out and hit them in the rear. Your armor in this tank is your mobility, and if you learn how to use it right you can win any one on one engagement.

I have to disagree with you on one thing. AP rounds are great but for new players Hesh will be more forgiving because of the splash and as their aim improves they will have the option to migrate to the AP rounds. I know it is buying two guns instead of just one but Hesh fits certain jobs anyway and you can get a lot done with Hesh and you need to get a good top gun and aside from the enforcer for the NC I would suggest the Halberd. The combo of AP and Halberd later on will be very effective and your gunner will hopefully be more experienced when you are learning and thus good with a Halberd and you will be effective much faster with your tank.

@CAMIKAZE78 Is hull covering a retreating ally a thing or usefull in PS2? By that I mean when you see someone taking a beating and falling back you use your tank to shield them from fire. I play a fair bit of WoT and this is an essential team skill for heavy tank drivers in that game and was wondering if things like that transferred over.

This could deserve a complementary video about tank loadouts. You talked about the gun a lot (AP), but what about the modules? Emergency fire extenguisher? Front shield? Nimitz reactor? Racer? And what about the secondary armament? Should I go Kobalt? Haleberd? Canister? This would help a lot avoiding spending certs into not much desirable stuff. :]

Tanks are redundant in the current meta. Too much AT content, exacerbated by the LA's new(ish) rocket launcher. If i pull a tank it's almost always invariably a skygaurd or very occasionally an AP to cheese a sunderer spawn from distance. Certainly never an MBT.

Hence why it doesn't feel like a tank. It's ambush dependent. Which is fine in an open map, but if you're in Hossin or in the canyon in Indar near Quartz Ridge or some of the roads in Esamir, it doesn't give you much option for holding ground. I would give up some speed and the ability to climb walls in trade for some extra frontal armor and more HP. I rather wish NS had a common core MBT you could use for that option so Vanu can stand toe to toe with the other two factions in those situations. Compared to the other two factions the Mag Rider does not stand up favorably in conditions where it must be a tank. And for ambush you could arguably be better served with a harasser, or a 2 man cloak flash with AT mines. Since both are cheaper to purchase, faster, and the latter would have situationally higher alpha damage.

10:10 sorry what you said there is bullshitThe highest DPS you can out put comes with the standard weapon when you pick up the tank... it reloads way quicker than the AP or the Hersh. The only way that you can surpass the DPS of the standard gun with the AP or Hersh is if the driver with the standard don't have any re-load upgrade on the gun and you running AP has 2 or more and with hersh 3 or more. (i'm talking about vanguards here, any other tank on this game are trash and shouldn't be considered a MBT.) So, fo some one that know "so much" about this that's making a video about it, you're talking a lot of bullshits per phrase. Fall back in a strait line... ( wait; what? is that serious?) if you are falling back is because you already took a hit, if you took a hit you already have some damage and your enemy have already figure out where his aim needs to be to hit you every time. By falling back on a strait line you're making his life very easy by asking him to adjust only the vertical aspect of his aim if he wants to kill you, So yeah by all means do that; Preferably on a MAG or PROWLER with me siting on a vanguard on the other side. The first aggressive maneuver a tank commander should learn in this game when in a armor colon is "Shoot the retreating vehicle" as they most of the time are one or 2 hits away from death. So when i saw some one starting to back up i drop any target that i have and it's not on fire; and open fire on that vehicle.

Newbies can actually get into tanking instead of being instagibbed. I generally prefer the way it is now, especially with all the tweaks they did post-cai to fix the major issues. If I had to change anything from the way it currently is, it would probably be some more damage for flanking, maybe an extra 10 - 15% on top of the current ones. But it's not like vehicle play was totally ruined. The reason most vets complain is that their play style of instagibbing newbs from behind got nerfed. But that's a good thing for the health of the game.

@Chiaros

@@jonasbaumgartel5994 Yeah, but the TTK isn't that long, honestly. Tanks aren't supposed to melt in two seconds. If you land your hits then the target dies fast enough, but they now have a window to respond to it or flee. And yeah, fleeing isn't fun but it's better than certain death every time someone shows up behind you. Back when the game was more populated, flanking was harder to pull off cause there were enemies everywhere. So it was also more rewarding. Now it's much easier to end up behind someone, so it shouldn't be such an uncounterable move anymore. As for the rest, I think harassers could use a bit more armour and the ESFs could use a more fun and engaging way to fight heavily armoured aircraft, but I'm sure that will get solved sooner or later. Or maybe us mozzies shoud just accept we aren't meant to solo a liberator :D

i think lightnings are way under powered, the health should be at least improved as it is a TANK. Flashes can kill lightning in under 2 seconds from behind, harassers the same if not even faster (together with their high speed and relatively high health are very hard to defeat when in lightning) liberators can completely melt through multiple lightnings in no time. Even infantry now can easily defeat lightnings, without the 1 hit kill on area damage and with the low rate of fire lightnings are powerless against multiple infantry which can have c4, rocklets, anti infantry grenades, powerful ass rocket launchers, the archer and even grenade launchers, at least the vehicles cannot be damaged by small arms fire like in the early life of this game...

I don't have any problems in my lightning , I use AP on mine and just snipe infantry threats before they become a problem. With max vehicle stealth and racer chassis I sneak up behind MBTs and get 1-2 ap shots into their back at the start of a fight and usually win. I always try to stick around an area where I have cover from a Lib too.

Actually, Lightnings are very powerful for being a single-player vehicle. A skilled Lightning player can defeat an MBT without excessive difficulty. As for Liberators, they're a bomber. Use your speed and dodge the Tankbuster and run Skyguard if you want to deter air. Lightnings are more powerful than Harassers if you are paying attention, and you can outrun anything else.

I do not want the "lightning vs mbt" balance to be changed, a mbt even without a turret should be able to defeat a lightning in most cases, however the speed at which the lightning can be destroyed in real battles or even by single vehicles or couple infantry is a bit ridiculous in my opinion

Dont waste your certs on a Magrider It's the worst MBT by far...The only thing that it can do that the other tanks cant is go up mountains even then a harasser is still better in most situations with a very similar playstyle sadly. If you do want to be a good magrider though just get max stealth Rival combat chassis and max magburner with the FPC cannon and sneak up behind your target. Pretty much the only thing you can do seeing how bad its mobility and defenses are compared to the others

Probably my faction bias, but anyone else feel like the magrider sucks ass? Like Cami said, its guns do the least damage, it has the least health, and its the slowest tank. What he didn’t mention is the acceleration on the left and right movement of the gun which makes it that much harder to actually hit stuff. All it has going for it is the fact it can get places tanks probably shouldn’t be, which really just makes it better at shelling infantry in bases with HESH, which is just boring and sucks for infantry. With a tank v tank fight the Magrider just feels like Harasser 2: the enslowening. The tank specific ability isn’t great either. It gives you another magburner charge and removes in progress lockons. All it’s good for is running away. The TR has an ability that increases tank DPS and the NC has a big fuck-off invincibility button. My main point is that a prowlwr and a vanguard might be able to have a close fight, the magrider will get shredded 7 times out of 10, unless it can immediately get behind the enemy tank and get a backshot first thing.

Often times the low profile of the lightning means that they have a very hard time hitting you back. I suppose I should mention that, in my own experiences, most tank drivers don't seem to consider their vehicles as something built for killing other tanks. At least, if all the people camping on hills while they're being killed by flanking armour is any indication.
