not a mobile spawn point, but as i sayed, a big ass vehicle that has loads of turrets.

Sounds like it'll handle like a pig.

me? I've always been one for the faster, more manueverable vechiles. This thing sounds like it'll be a monster.... which means it'll be easily seen, and hence, a prime target for people to fire at Wink

Gimme a hover-bike anytime Razz

Well, consider the assault map that has the gigantic mounted ion cannon. That would more than likely make short work of the Leviathan. Another consideration is that with people in turrets, a good sniper should be able to take them out, and I'm guessing that if it's SOOO big, then it would have a lot of undefended spots if you take out a turret-user or two. One last consideration is what was brought up by Peoii - it's handling. If it's so large, it's going to be slow and barely maneuverable. Get a squad of men in tanks to swarm the thing, get up close enough, and the ion cannon won't be able to fire on you. Open up with all you have, and make short work of the beast.

you make it sound soo easy Wink

Well, it's simply strategy. Like, in Rogue Squadron II, a Star Destroyer is one bad-ass mofo. But, if you run in close, the main guns can't hit you. Or, in real life, an M1 Abrams tank can own a battle... unless you get some grunts to get up close and put grenades in open ports. Everything has a weakness, and if this Leviathan is all huge and it's main weapon is the gigantic ion cannon, then surely that's ITS weakness. Plus, I bet you that thing has a LOOONG recharge period.

good point. ok i agree now, but it probably is a little harder than you said Wink

i think the makers of the Leviathan have thought of that, it will probably be able to own 1 to 2 other vehicles, but if you aproach it with more you got a good chance in getting him.
like in nature, a tiger cant kill a eliphant on his own. they hunt him down in packs. get him in a corner and go for the weak spot, his neck.

cool... now give us a metaphore for shield gun V Ion cannon Laughing

yeah but they never said anything about being able to shoot the driver... they prolly have to blow up the whole vehicle and I bet it has ALOT of health

Tycho do you know if the shield protects you versus the vehicles?

Well, I would personally think that you SHOULD be able to take out the drivers... and Raven, I never said it would be easy Wink

The best analogy I came up with (thinking about it just now) would be the prehistoric tyrannosaurus and the velociraptors. Velociraptors one on one would be slaughtered by a t-rex... but when enough of them attack, the t-rex can't take them all on, and is brought down.

dude! i just sayed that, only with a eliphant and tigers as a example! Evil or Very Mad
