    The only and major reason i prefer the lighting is basically:
    "You play the lightning for low-profile and fast mobility"
    "I play the lighting because I have no friends for gunners on the MBT"

    Ya know it's funny, whenever I play warthunder this sorta thing is common sense, but in planetside due to it's arcadeyness it's not something you really stop to consider. And I guess that's kinda something I've noticed a lot about planetside, it's arcadyness appearance is actually really misleading sense when you get down to a lot of the finer details it is actually a pretty hardcore, strategic/tactical and in some aspects even realistic game. Almost like it's constantly teetering on that edge of "Do I want to be battlefield or do I want to be Arma?". And personally I would say it's good that it's a mix of both, but could maybe lean just a little bit more in both directions in some aspects.

    I've been maining the lightning with HEAT lately, it is such a treat. With stealth, racer and that small profile it is excellent at flanking, popping out of cover just long enough to pick off isolated MBTs and then dissapearing again. But the best part is allowing yourself to get "cornered" by overconfident harassers who assume you have crap DPM because most lightnings mounting the Python use AP. With proper positioning (so the fight happens at very close range), most 2-man harassers will go down before they realize what's happened to them, in a very satisfying inversion of the normal food chain.

    Zoom on a skyguard is not such a good idea. The skyguard was nerfed to the point where the zoom becomes ineffective at ranges where it would be usefull. At the same time it ruins muscle memory. Getting used to using it without zoom gives you the ability to use something like night vision.
    It's just a minor point I wanted to bring up.

      Lightning is fun - especially when you go toe to toe against a MBT and crush them. You need experience for that though.
      Just last night, the TR was pushing hard on Amerish (Emerald Server) and this fully manned Dalton lib tried taking me on in my AP Lightning...the pilots mistake was flying around at a level where I could return fire - four shots and that Lib was gone, even with their Emergency Repair - AP shell cleaned right through his extra health instantly.

    Winning against an MBT with the Lightning is still possible, you just have to make them miss a few shots first ^^
    Also getting in close and driving around the MBT fast enough can help, if the enemy panics he'll likely miss a few more shots.
    Playing as a Heavy can also be viable if you are running auto repair, so you can deci enemy armor as a finisher, should your tank go down. (Try jumping out of your tank when it's still not burning, so the enemy focuses on you, while you put 2 or 3 rockets into them. Just practise dodging tank shells a bit, also Catlike. If you win and your tank is still up, you can just pick it up again and it'll be at half health again, ready to tumble :P (works way too often in my opinion though ^^) If the enemy ignores you to kill your tank, you'll just get some free hits in)

      Thats good against a noob in a tank. For a veteran like me, it gets you killed along with your vechile because the counter is simple - you fire that RL, and I pop out with my rifle in hand and open fire, or I tank the shell and return an AP to you.
      Either way - against someone who has used this tactic before, its very hard to pull it off on a veteran tanker.

    • @SoulKiller7Eternal
      @SoulKiller7Eternal 4 роки тому

      @Bart Dr The Lightning will need to get two shells into weak the spot before even getting hit to have a chance at winning.
      Ive ambushed Prowlers with a Lightning like this. Came up, derped right in the ass, they started turning around and I close in, keep their weak point in my sights.
      Two shells in before they even returned Fire, tanked the shells then ended it with a third shell right into the engine.
      Hard to do that to a veteran tanker.
      Even if you ambush them, you need to weak point to hit or your fucked usually. Or if you play the engagement to your rules and not theirs.

  • @idkidc12333
    @idkidc12333 4 роки тому +1

    These are some cool pointers/loadouts, thanks! I fell in love with the Lightning when I unlocked the Python AP and combined that with the higher speeds than MBTs to get into positions that I normally wouldn't consider. I probably didn't properly understand how to handle the Viper so maybe I'll revisit it one day.
    A few hours ago from writing this, I was playing on TR I think Connery, and we were losing the battle alert pretty badly on Indar. However we still had a good fight with the VS and I was doing pretty amazing in my Lightning, so much so that I got 3 bounties placed on me with 30 mins left of the alert and survived till the end while getting amazing kills. I think this is my largest kill streak in *any* scenario of PS2 to date. I was kinda lucky that the ESFs didn't completely focus me down, although I'd like to attribute that to our support on the attack, but I actually landed a couple shots on ESFs with my AP cannon. Those kinds of shots (and infantry shots) are sooooo satisfying. That's why when I run into an armor fight, I will 90% of the time pull a Lightning, unless I have a gunner then I'll pull a Harasser or MBT depending on the situation.

    So an interesting thing happened to me while we were taking an Amp station. We had an armor battle on the hill outside, and I was in a Lightning. We were holding the line and slowly pushing out way towards the station when the enemy pulls 3 Prowlers. I see them a bit too late and get caught out in the open, and I'm going "this is certain death"
    Then out of nowhere, I get rammed by a vanguard, which throws my tank out of their line of fire and into cover. It's like the Vanguard knew that I was in danger and got me out of there while using his shield to absorb the damage, before dipping back to the repair sundy
    I'd like to see another game where *that* can happen! I may be a new player, but I'm loving this game!

    Maxed out Stealth is a MUST when using the Lightning. Get behind an armored column then pick off 1 MBT or 1 Lightning then make a tactical retreat, come back to it later. They will often chase you, use the terrain to your advantage, place down tank mines if you're soloing and make a trap for them. Worked for me. Killed a 2/2 Magrider who got too confident.

  • @grazzer88
    @grazzer88 3 роки тому

    I like to run flanker armour on my skygaurd since it reduces air to ground warhead damage allowing you to tank more damage from greedy liberators, but also you tend to get more tunnel vision in a skygaurd because you're looking down sights for longer whilst shooting on account of the large clip size and needing to constantly lead your shots. So you have more margin of error when infantry sneak up on you since you're also protected from infantry warheads too.

    When running the Viper at range, it’s best to double tap. The accuracy of the second rapid fire shot isn’t as wonky as the third or fourth, and it keeps your damage higher than it normally would be.

    As someone who plays alone and isn't in a outfit, the Lightning is a godsend, since I can't guarantee I'll always have a gunner in other vehicles, and I can't fly an ESF to save my life I've tried a lot and I suck (and if you get in a Lib, Gal, or Valk, and I'm the pilot just cross your fingers and hope you don't die), and the Flash is to vulnerable for me, since I'll typically attach myself to an Ant, or try to range ahead of a friendly armor column, relying on Flanker Armor, the Racer Chassis and Smoke, to find targets and keep myself alive if it's something I can't handle, so I can get back to the column and hopefully a repair bus,
    since I'm not always a engineer when I go tanking, the Lightning has more or less become my best friend in a fight, and often I'd rather see them then a MBT, since it's the "Ol'reliable" of Planetside 2, since while it might not have a perks of higher health and a second gunner, it can do everything it's simply a matter of picking the right loadout for the job, now directed at newer players for unlocks, I'd unlock the Skyguard first for weapons, then your preference for gear, I run either the Viper or Skyguard depending on the situation along with Flanker Armor, Racer and Smoke, since with a Lightning the biggest advantage is that it's a very fast and very adaptable platform that only takes a single person to use at it's full potential unlike the Harasser, or Liberator.
    Side note: something neat to be added to the vehicle pool would be a dedicated Artillery vehicle, with two main weapon options, the usual cannons that tanks have and a rocket battery, with different perks, the Cannon for example might be able to shoot smoke rounds or a oversized Recon Dart ontop of it's basic shots at the cost of losing a 3rd of your max ammo for every secondary shot type taken (up to 2), while the rocket battery might be able to fire rockets that break up into a series of small ones, great for dealing with infantry and light armor but not so great with heavy armor, or larger rockets that are able to really put the hurt on armor, but are easily avoided by infantry and light armor,
    not to mention adding a dedicated artillery vehicle would also add a new dynamic to fights where they are present, especially with decent callouts from people doing the fighting, and it could help break stalemates in base fights, with a few well placed rockets or shells.

      @TheFearsomeRat 4 роки тому

      @@NK-qn6pq Smoke has been more useful for me, since I'm not normally fighting Lightnings and when I do, I typically have backup, since most of my targets tend to be Harassers, Ants or Sundies if I'm running the standard weapon, and not having to worry about getting spanked by Lock-On weapons while chasing is nice, the other 50% of the time I'm using a Lightning I'm using the Skyguard and I'm in the middle/back of a group or far off from the actual fighting on the ground,
      but as far as I'm concerned both are useful and I've just never had a situation where I needed to use Fire Suppression since in the few cases where it would have been useful it would have been just delaying the inevitable to give me a precious second or two to get out of the vehicle.

    Hey Commander! As someone who's aurax'd the Lightning across all 3 factions and which remains my killing platform of choice, I give this training a double thumbs up! Your loadouts are mostly similar to mine, except on Skyguard, where Racer and Engagement Radar is part of my preferred arsenal. Speaking of anti-air, your guide doesn't go into it, but AP is excellent for this too, with some practice. I also like Proximity Radar with HESH for large bases where I can help smoke out infantry. And advanced-advanced training might look into how to deal with Harassers.

      My AP build on my Lightning is my Anti-Harrasser build. I tend to chase them down and focus on them when they show up, only time its failed is when its a wolf-pack. A solo Lightning can only do so much.
      3-4 AP shells and there isn't a Harrasser anymore.

      The Lightning can easily fight off cloaked Flashes, as it is so low to the ground. Killing them in a Vanguard is harder becuase of the high engine deck that limits your elevation to the back.

    I normally hunt MBT's with my AP lightning, a lot of tank uses don't actually know how to respond to aggression and tend to panic shoot at you when you barrel towards them, so used to shooting into a spawn point... if you can get a lightning buddy you can absolutely cause mayhem on the back line.

      No, that's honestly the best anti-air the lightning has, after the skyguard got nerfed into the ground. Skyguard is good for scaring enemy air away, but if it's a halfway decent pilot you won't actually kill them, and 2 or 3 ESFs (or one liberator) will still win a battle of attrition against you. Landing an AP round on an ESF doesn't give them a chance to run, repair, and come back (though they'll probably just go pull a new one and come back).

    It is not my intention to be disrespectful, but I feel that all the explanation you give about the use of rays is not reflected at any time in the video, the closest thing is seen when "the vanguard column wobbles" (not to mention the numerical difference) They are eliminated by 50% by the first stalkers.

    I have charged 2/2 MBTs in my Lightning - and taken them on and won but thats circumstantial, and because my Lightning is loaded for anti-armor purposes. Sneak up on a Prowler? It won't matter if he has a gunner, I have the advantage and he can't out maneuver me and I got the weak spot of his tank.
    I specialize in tank combat for the NC, so I've gotten pretty good on taking MBTs in the Lightning. :)

      This works sometimes, but also screws up some other things. Here's an example: A2G ESFs and flak. When there's no flak, infantry get ground pounded to oblivion. When there is flak, the ESF can go from full to nothing in less time than the ESF takes to kill a single infantry. If both were nerfed, it would create a less toxic system.
