quoted from beyondunreal's preview:

We've seen videos and articles about most of the vehicles, but what wasn't vastly known was the addition of the Leviathan and Bomber. According to CliffyB, the Leviathan vehicle will dwarf the tank. In addition to the impressive size of this vehicle, the weapon arsenal is massive. This whale of a vehicle will have over five weapon turrets and whenever a player hits alt fire, an enormous Ion cannon emerges from the center. Like the Redeemer, the Leviathan's Ion cannon will raze anything within the target area. CliffyB blurted out a comment about the Bomber, but he didn't expand upon that comment. It will be interesting to see how a Bomber fits into the grand scheme of things, but I'm sure it will be a welcomed addition to the current arsenal of vehicles and weapons. The vehicle I enjoyed was the Manta hover bike. |
doesnt thats sounds awsome!
and btw, this shows that i was right all along!
not a mobile spawn point, but as i sayed, a big ass vehicle that has loads of turrets.
the ion cannon on top sure sounds... ehh big |

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
Gimme a hover-bike anytime |

well, try to take it down with a hover bike, and 5 turrets and a giant ion cannon will shoot at you. good luck! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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