Why be what?
"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war." -William Shakespeare



"The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny, and it is useless for the innocent
 to try by reasoning to get justice, when the oppressor intends to be unjust." -Aesop's Fables

IMO thats the one of the few thing MechAssault did right, you could have BA attach to the bottom of VTOLs for quick transport and extra firepower.
All of my posts are of my personal opinions unless obviously otherwise.

Except here you have to worry about a cheap aerospace fighter knocking your vtol and cargo out of the sky!

Can you imagine that...I mean I when I do I imagine something along the lines of gullivers travels when the lilpusions(sp?, you know the little people) take him down, I can see it the same way with the BA taking down a mech from a VTOL ;D


In short in matters battle armor, aerospace and omnimech

What we need to do is get about a dozen players together to stage such an attack for a MW:LL Promotional video.

military history has shown that every battlefield asset has its uses

Yeah, bow and arrows are still used in the modern battlefield!

Life isn't a video game (which could be argued), you have a choice in what you play for fun. I'm not the only one that thinks that way, take the OP for instance.

Life isnt a video game you say? ;)

Once we get a version of the game that has the vehicle/Mech editor, I plan on rigging out a tank with zero armor and all LRMs. Then my buddies will point a TAG laser for me to fire a wall of LRMs from the safely of my home base.*

When that gets boring, I'm going to load up a transport VTOL with battle armor and do HALO drops onto the heads of slow moving mechs.

There's certainly things that vehicles can do better than mechs, and its going to be fun!


*Of course, one good strafing run from an Aerospace fighter would kill me. Game Balance FTW!

HELLS YEAH!!!!  Need a pilot?  Im all for being the transport pilot!

Why would you want to be an Aerospace/Land(IDK what they're called) Vehicles? Why be those when you can be a mech? Can someone explain to me why would you want to not be a mech? Is there a limit or something?
