[Suggestion] Can THE VS stop complaining about how the TR is "OP" when a mag rider can already take on 5 prowlers

    Kiting is far more skill than calling another person 'stupid.' I could, when playing healer on one of MMO's, sit there and kite a player, dodging their attacks, while keeping my team healed and their attack powered up. Similar principle here. If you know what you're doing with the Maggie, then you can use it's maneuverability to your advantage. Those things climb mountains like nobody's business and can fire down on you where you can't hit them back. And are fast enough to get behind a Vanguard too if the driver is skilled.

    Prowler? Come on! With the speed in that thing, there's almost *zero* reason you couldn't blitzkrieg bases. Speed is everything when attacking like that-and prowler has that in bunches.

    Vanguard? Like a said before: it's the bare knuckle back alley brawler of the bunch.

    *All three* have specific uses that the other's don't and all have their weaknesses. Depends on the situation. Hell, the Brits sent the HMS Hood-an extremely powerful battlecruiser up against the Bismarck and we know how that went. Wrong place, wrong time for that weapon...and the analagy holds true with this tanks. Use them properly at the right times.

    They don't call 'em "spray and pray" for no reason.

    I'll say this for the record. I have seen this happen with magriders, BUT, it is so lubriciously rare that it should not be considered anywhere even close to normal.

    Under normal conditions, the magrider is currently a front runner for worst MBT, in large part thanks to its lack of effective main weapon choices, and poor CQC abilities.

    It's always seemed to me that the Magrider is more a platform for its secondary gun than it is an MBT in its own right. The driver's main purpose is to keep the tank alive and maneuver the secondary gunner into a good position.
