    Can I have some of what you have been smoking please...

    Mags got gutted in the FIRST game patch and the devs have been repairing them ever since then (and the nerf was unwarranted yes the mags were outperforming the other tanks, but how many of the other tanks had AV top guns fully filled unlike the mags, basically a 2/2 AV mag was killing more 1/2 AI/Heat Vanguards and Prowlers, strange that).

    Lets go through the weapon platforms until the CAI the best tank for infantry farmage was the Prowler.
    Fastest tank, Prowler
    Longest range tank, Vanguard (or stationary locked down prowler due to the increased projectile speed)
    Tank with most health, Vannie
    Longest ranged top gun kill goes to the Gatekeeper
    Best short range AV top gun = Vulcan
    And so on

    For a long time the PPA was useless against everything including infantry, you kn ow that thing ITS MEANT to be good at.

    Man, only lies here. Before CAI Tank least perfoming was Vanguard, Magrider was betwen the two. Anphelion and Sauron can murder other tanks easily,wishes Oracle Death was onlie so we can show some truth.

    Mate what have -you- been puffing on? The Magrider has been the dominant tank consistently since day 1.

    Prowler has the highest cruise speed yes, but Magrider has an afterburner and completely invalidates C4 if the pilot has a partially functional brain. It has the best long range top turret in the game in the Saron(especially after the Gatekeeper was butchered), the Apheleon does marginally less damage than the Vulcan unless it does the burst thing, in which case it's higher. The PPA may as well be called "The Better Marauder" AND it's the only tank that can get on mountain tops and rain hell into bases that should be proof from vehicles, AND it's far and away the most maneuverable AND it now has the fastest reload speed so the difference in damage output is minimal. And to wrap it all up with the simple fact that there is no learning curve with a Magrider if you know how to play infantry you know how to use a Magrider.

    So yeah, get real. That tank has every conceivable advantage to it.

    Do I have to go find the patch notes from GU2 back in Feb 2013 for you?

    Lets see Mags speed got gutted both forwards and sideways, so much so that the magrider needed to use mag burn to get up normal hills that prowlers, vanguards and sundies had no trouble with.
    Mags projectile speed got turned into something almost as fast as a snail whilst the Prowler and Vanguard got increased projectile speed (heck for a week the Prowlers projectile speed at max lockdown was 2500% yes that's right for a week the Prowlers could shoot aircraft down easily with their railgun), Prowlers got increase damage from Heat and AV.
    Oh and the Vanguard got better armor.
    If you claim that the Mag has been on top since day one please look after GU2, the mag went straight to last place.

    Do I also have to go find the patch notes when the Canister and Marauder first got buffed to be competitive against the PPA which coincidentally destroyed the PPA which then for 2 years was used less then the Kobalt, Fury, Beamer, anything...

    Yes, go find the proof for all of these claims.
