Well, I Love the controls of the transport hsip (not realy tried the gunship) but as most who played with me know I love that little transport, at times it can be a death trap but My squad has gotten Top Squad Every single game using that little beauty.

Fly's like a dream for me (possibly because it resembles the republic gunship in a certain other mod) which Was my fav vehcile back then too.

Hell yeah Preach!

I usually form a squad and pilot the transport from flag to flag as we go around the outside of the map taking positions.  I try to land right next to the flag and then just sit in the cockpit while the rest of the guys secure the area.  The controls are indeed a pleasure and it's a very stable craft laterally - hard to wobble  in a sideways direction mistakenly and crash into the ground.

Plus it's always fun to take the helos down around the buildings to avoid missile locks.

Now I need to try and kill infantry with the crouching when they get scared and run between my legs! big_smile

No way? Once I get a hang of the controls, the Mech will be my favorite vehicle I think. For my first time trying it, it was abit over whelming because it kept moving forward/backwards a few steps after I finished using the controls.

If you have it, practice on SWBF 2. It has walkers that do that. You can use it to help master the timing.

Re: 2142 Demo (feedback)

I always found the idea of large bipedal tanks a little redicioulus (hamsters I seriously cant spell), realisticly speaking. I mean todays problem with tanks is the anti tank missle can open em up like tin cans. To combat that they've been built with lower to the ground designs and designed for faster speeds. A tall, slow, walking tank that attracts everyones attention is exactly the oppisite of this thinking.
If you ask me, in the future we'll be seeing extremely fast 'zoid' like quadreped designs that evolve on the apc/armored car concept. Legs, especially in a dog like design would allow extremely fast speeds over most terrain, and could get men into strategic areas quick.
Sorry for the off topic post sad.
