Will there be anything above medium tanks?

    According to wiki the magrider and such are just medium tanks.. sooo do we get to see heavy tanks or perhaps giant mechs later? :p

    the M stands for "Main" not Medium ;)
    the MBTs are the heavy armour, lightnings are the medium armour and harassers are the light vehicles.

    Now you got me thinking what it would be like if flying elephants were added to PS2.

    Nevermind Didn't see that you said "flying"

    Light tank - lightning
    Medium tank - prowler/magrider/vanguard
    Heavy tank - sunderer

    Sunderers and MBTs have the same HP.

    If there was a bigger vanguard that had 8k HP and 700 cost in reaources I would be all for that.

    That would reduce lightnings and mbts to skyguard levels of uselessness...

    Gets c4ed 5 second later

    Do MBTs reduce lightnings to levels of near uselessness? No. Because it trades armor for mobility.

    There's always a LA, ESF, Liberator and a Galaxy right above my MBT it seems.

    Oh that's not what you meant huh...

    Maybe one day the construction system will lead us to trains...

    An mbt has 33% more hp than a lightning. This is small enough that movement speed etc can make up for the hp difference.

    You're proposing a tank with 100% more hp than an mbt and 167% more hp than a lightning. If it could move at all it would completely dominate other armoured vehicles.

    So even if it moved at 30 kph and all the other vehicles outran it it would be OP because it had staying power? I didn't even state how many guns, what seats it had, resistance values or anything besides HP and resource cost and you call it OP just based on that? That seems rather close minded if you ask me.

    Because we know it's as likely to come as the searhus cactus.

    I dont think anymore vehicles will be added to begin with
    though i'd like to see another faction specific ground vehicle, something like a one seat harasser with its own guns
    but then again that would make the flash useless

    Btw I just found the Searhus cactus.

    Which reminded me of this.

    If there was an super heavy tank, it should only be spawn from the warpgates, with a timer and a limit on the amount available on maps.
