    Can't wait to see Vanguard Shield Charge or a Prowler Brotherhood Barricade.

    I'm expecting the lightnings and the harassers to be the stars to be honest. I think that the MBTs will play defensive for the most part.

    When it comes to numbers, 10 prowlers always beats 10 vanguards

    I have titan-150-ap auraxiumed, and soon HEAT as well. When you're facing max reload+anchor prowler with max reload vanguard, it's all about the one who hits first. However if prowler is far away (~300m) vanguard has no option but retreat. Bullet speed of vanguard is very slow compared to prowler's

    And what this means? Vanguard has a slight advantage in 1v1 CQC against prowler but otherwise not if it's anchored further away. It's a rare situation when tanks just pops front of each other. Usually they notice each other far away

    One engi can solo kill a shield sundy with only mines.

    So the best strategy to win this is 2 cloak flash with 2 engies.

    If only one manage to be close enough , GG.

    Even the harassers could help to rush with the flashes.

    For those interested in participating in test matches for this event sometime in November: To put on at least one test match we will need two teams assembled and willing to fight at the same time. Teams may be made up of whatever 24 players you wish. It is strongly suggested that you tap at least 26 people (more is better) for your team to fill in for no-shows and disconnects.

    If you are interested in organizing a team, please tweet me at @RedolentBastard, with your in game name, outfit, best way to contact you, and how many people you have for a team at this moment. If you want to organize a team, but do not have 24 people available yet, create an account on PlanetsideBattles.org and post on the “Planetside Battles: Vehicleside – Teams looking for players” forum thread and post the following.(Below is an example)

    • Team Manager In Game Name: RedolentBastard
    • Outfit: DPSO
    • Number of Players Needed: 12
    • Vehicle or Positions Needed: Flash drivers, Lightning Drivers, Magrider team.
    • Other information: (Put here if there are specific language requirements or so on)
    • Teams Local Timezone: US Pacific Time (Important so you don’t end up with a player that plays 3am your time.)
    • Contact Info: Twitter - @RedolentBastard, Reddit - /u/Tongue_of_Fools

    Also head down to the “Planetside Battles: Vehicleside – Players looking for teams” thread to find players without a team. Without people willing to organize teams, these matches will never happen, so don’t assume someone else will do it. If you have connections even across servers with other vehicle people, reach out to them and start forming a team. We would rather have 4 games because too many teams were formed, than no matches because no one formed any.

    If you are interested in participating as a solo player, or a small group of players from an outfit, but are not interested in organizing a team, please make an account on PlanetsideBattles.org and post the following information on the “Planetside Battles: Vehicleside – Players looking for teams” thread (Below is an example).

    • In Game Name: RedolentBastard
    • Outfit: DPSO
    • Number of Players: 1
    • Vehicle or Position played: Gunner, especially Halberd or Basilisk
    • Other information: Can get two more DPSO members if needed, Magrider pilots specifically
    • Local Timezone: US Eastern Time (Important so you don’t end up with a team that plays 3am your time.)
    • Contact Info: Twitter - @RedolentBastard, Reddit - /u/Tongue_of_Fools

    You are much more valuable to a team if you come as a package of Vehicle driver + Gunner, so you may want to enlist your friends. Team organizers will go through the thread to fill out their teams.
