Greets all,
  Quick question.Why is it that both the NC and VS AA maxs are multi purpose in that they can be used to at least some extent for AV and AI purposes,while the TR AA max is comepletely and absolutely worthless against anything but aircraft?
  Don't get me wrong,I know the NC/VS AA maxs are not idea to use against vehicle/infantry,but they can at least defend themselves to some extent.Where as if a TR AA max is caught alone,one infantryman with a pistol could eventually kill them. Might take a while sure,but it's probably happened I imagine.

Are you spooning implying that the starfire is PASSABLE against infantry and vehicles?

Please, your max is now CRAZY.

 I didn't say passable.I said they can at least defend themselves against an infantryman with a pistol.great against infantry or vehicles? nowhere did I say that.well,except maybe the NC falcon.it's ok.not great,but ok.
 Yea,our max is fantastic at the job it was made for.But,the vs/nc maxs are great at the job they were made for,and at least useable at the 2 other jobs that they weren't meant for.

The Starfire has the least splash and is the worst vs infantry.

you obviously haven't had to LEAD with that burster when your target is only 10m in front of you. It is pretty sad how ineffective the Startfire is to troops.

well,you may have me on the leading point,dunno to be honest.But,I'm still of the personal opinion that the burster is the most useless against infantry.

your joking right..., the burster isnt better than the sparrow against infantry, but it beats a starfire hands down, and it has great anti max abilities, faster TTK against other max's than a scat now with the increased clip size

Burster stands a good chance against infantry with the new Overdrive ability. Try a different tactic then just running at them and shooting

I have used the burster a few times to kill a large unit like a Prowler or a Vanguard

Maxes are made for one purpose, and I don't care if they fail at the others as long as they are so good with their main job.

As the TR AA max is the best AA max of them all (no point arguing - facts are facts) I don't care if they fail against infantry or armour. That is why they are maxes. They are big, they are strong, they are superior to anything in their role but they depend on the troops. They need one to open a door, they need them to be repaired or healed, they probably need a squishee to remove the plating if they need to pee...

So arguing about AI capabilities is pointless. It's a teamgame...
