Trying the combat vehicles,.... sucks

[winnoc]

Okay, yesterday i lommed my low low level pe to use vehicles

23 dex, 67 vehicle, 20 str 49 HC

I tried out the combat hovertec, with the 20mm cannon.

The range was soooo short, i had to be next to a mob to actualy hit it, and aiming is not so easy either, but that i can learn.

What increases range on these babies? HC?
Cuz right now my PE feels kinda dumb loming to vehicles :-)

combat vehicles are for combat vehicle specialists.

HC of course affects them. WEP as well.

[Nightbrother]

The combat hover just sucks. Try some of the other vehicles. I assure you some of them do NOT suck. Won't say any more. ;)


I've found WEP not to have any effect on anything on one specific vehicle, the heavy trike (after testing with someone else), but I can't say anything about the others.

[GT_Rince]

TBH, The only ones worth looking at, is the gun on the Reveller, Heavy Trike and Rhino - everything else bites :D

[Archeus]

If you have the HC the combat trike and hovertech are good. Hovertec gives you speed with 360 range of fire. But takes a hell of a lot of practise to make it anyway good.

The combat wheeler sucks.

the heavy scorp trike does 3 shots of 250 to WB's. 6-8 burst kills ems. I used to farm WB's with ym scorp trike id get between 10-15 tech parts an hour if there was a moderate spawn. I had no repair so i had to go to a depot to repair. With repair as a skill you can prolly top 20 tech an hour if you know what your doing and get lucky on some spawns.


also if you have a tank friend you can use the Rhino. Does 500+ damage to WB's and can be used from so far away the WB cant hit you back.

also the rhino kills people in 2-3 shots
scorp trike kills em in 4-5 most of the time excpet tanks or buffed ppus

Combat chainbike ROCKS for leveling.

Combat Hoverbike fucking ROCKS. Not just for leveling - hunting and fast movement and shaving off health off your human target as he tries to turn in your direction as you whizz by him.

Combat wheeler car.... pathetic, not FUCKING worth using at all, not until they make the gun swivel independently of the car, and ADAMNJUSTABLE ANGLE OF ATTACK!

Trike - not tried ( warning, warning - tail gun seems fucked up)

OK,

Not Completly Usless, In one OP assault, u Parked the Car Way up top a mountain (took me some time to get there ;) ) And switched to gunners Possition, Basically what I did was Use the gun as a form of artillary, hell, I took out most of the sentry guns with some clever Guidence and Spotting, Hell I might as well call the Wheeler Combat the first form of Artillary in Neocron THus far (and I have to say, its really fun to use in the proper assualt settings) Since the Shot is Arc Fired, you can Lob shots over walls and such, or, like me, use the fire to put a splash damage cover area over a spot, beleave me, those things hurt like hell lol. Just make sure you have decent cover and a good escape rout.

As for the Trikes, Well, the light trike is fun to use as well, good for low lv tanks trying to kill Launcher mutants and stuff, to lv, and other things, but I Much more perfer the Assault trike, like john green said, You can use it to Harvest TONS of rares if your lucky. Pluss if Your REALLY interested in vehicles I highly suggest putting in some Repair skill, Maybe up to 50-60, it helps allot.

As for the combat bikes(hover-chain-wheeler) there all good for different situations, my personal favorite is hard to say I like the assault bike (missle wheeler :D ) and the hovertech(Gatling-hover:D :D ) tuff choice.

Edit-BTw the tail gun on the trike seems to be only usfull for targeting err targets on the sides and rear of the trike, anything forwards tends to actaully shoot the vehicle itself for some reason (FIX THIS KK! mad: :D

PEace out:

[SorkZmok]

The combat hovertec is crap. Completely.
But if you ever make a h-c tank, put 37 into vhc, drive a reveler to that pit east of chester, enter the gunners seat and blast away. XP madness.

Also a h-c PE on a heavy scorpion trike who can hack is the best rare hunter by far. Kill warbots in seconds, drive up, jump out, hack it, take all, find another warbot, repeat.
Youll get RICH in no time and also youll have enough rare parts to keep your favorite researcher busy for 2 hours a day.

I've killed people on the combat chainbike before :D

Neocron's vehicles in general just suck however. A PE managed to chase me on foot while I was in my reveller and the vehicle didn't protect me from taking damage of course (why don't these cars have doors?). I think the max runspeeds are a little too high in this game.

Yes run speed is way over the top. People running almost as fast as a motorbike. Pretty sad.
