Out of necessity, I've become a tank whore. I wasn't in BF2 (check my stats), but I've found that anti-vehicle is more important than ever. While the noobs flock to the walkers, I take them out long range with a well placed tank shell.
Which brings me to the question: Which tank do you prefer?
I personally hate the Nekomata. It's gained the nickname of "the floating turd" in my clan, due to its poor control. Don't get me wrong, I know how to drive it, but when you are on a slight incline its speed feels to drop to less than 5 km/h. And if you get out on an incline (to repair, for instance) it slides away. When you are sniping something, you have to line up every shot once again. You can strafe, which is helpful, but the time it takes to begin moving or stop negates it as a good gunner can counter the movement. If you are too close to the enemy target the A8 can turn its turret to track the target, while the Nekomata has to rotate its whole body and expose the rear. The Nekomata cannot hover over water, or small obstacles, such as the border walls on Verdun.
Then what, I ask, what good is the hover tank?
