Thread: Why??? V-35 Why?
hmmm I did a test with all the rides expet the flash speeder... set up a race droid and ran the track in every vehicle ( 13 waypoints with hills and sharp turns ) I ran the exact same time with the ab1, V35, xp38 and x34. So I wouldn't say its slower....It just feels slower becuase of the size.

Why would you even travel with a whole group in that thing, its so slow, mainly meant looking nice it would seem. Everyone probably has a swoop on this game, and if you dont, just buy one for 20k.
Because in PvP, you can roll up in a cheap Landspeeder, take a leisurely cruise around the city without zipping past everything, find someone who's Special Forces (or a group, preferably), then BAM!
One arrow on the radar makes the opposing forces think they have a straggler about to roll up. They start to move in. Suddenly one vehicle arrow on the radar turns into 7 Special Forces players of the opposite faction.
They're actually quite ingenious for this purpose.
I suspect the ability of such a "surprise" attack is what made the Devs drop it to 7 people. You are penalized 1 group member to be able to essentially explode out of one vehicle, clown car style, and bring the element of surprise to the battlefield.
That's been my perspective, at least.
they seem too slow to be much of a surprise...incoming raid group you can watch the big red dot slowly creep along your radar it would be better if it had big guns on the front or something heh
more useful in my experience tho is they do actually make it easier to get hunting groups moving from mission to mission faster rather than waiting for everyone to sit there and get a swoop out
8th person scouts ahead on a swoop, and has groupchat andgroup level bonus (if any)at his/her disposal.
Actually not a bad plan if used to its advantage.
The V-35 or "Gank Bus" is a brilliant addition to the game..
8 People in a group.. 7 in the V-35 and a Scout on a Swoop. In any situation, these are the ULTIMATE in combat transportation and SWG's Answer to the Humvee.
7 is ther perfect number because the scout on the swoop can relay intel to the group.. They rule.
