Why? What is the point of wasting a Scorpion just to selfdestruct a passing vehicle?
if it's a good foot mode player then it's to their advantage to get rid of all of the vehicles so they can dominate an area without having to worry about the scorpions huge blast radius, tanks shells, etc. but the scorpions are definitely mis-used in Avalanche since there's no avrils at center node. another good way to use a scorpion is to sit in one where it spawns and let the enemy wander up to the node unaware. easy kill.


Thank you bain.. good last point.. thought I was going nuts here.

what? hahaha you dont get my point.. your main objective is to return the flag.. right?... but you would rather go try and kill someone first, wouldn't you want to return the flag? I mean im not a vctf player by no means but that sounds silly to me.
 
Yeah you are right the objective is to return the flag, not let the other guy selfdestruct on you so you have no opputunity to do so......
 
And bain has a point if its for that situation, but has nothing to do with letting an enemy scorpion kill you or get away with whatever they are about to do.

So we had to go this far with it im going to described something that happened in a downtown match once....
 
Jp and i met on the road, she stopped to let me go by in my car, she was going to go kill hint korp with her car... so i hit the brakes as i fly by, she takes off again going for her objective, i killed her before she could get to him, then went about my business. Im still alive, JP is dead.. and hit corp is still playing D at center node.
 
So like i said, why let them go? i saved our defense by not letting it happen.

sup Aik, i see your point. it really comes down to how long u can keep it alive. if you dodge the other scorpion, you might just get blown up by the tank later on suspense so there's really no point of being picky with your strategies. being flexible is one of the highlights of ut3. no man, running over people on nightshade is a good thing. I ran over a couple of flag carriers with the nightshade. people just like doing crazy things  because its fun. like raptors flying in cycle trying to not die and kill the other person for 10 mins. hahaha

It depends on the map/situation. They're good for taking down orb taxis and support for certain nodes (center in Avalanche), but they don't usually stay up long out in the open.

Agreed.  And probably should't disagree with JP when it comes to WF.  In Avalanche, you should have competent team mates to dispactch of vehicles, well, vipers; mantas, and scorpions.

Alright everyone is getting to speciffic with the question. You can say any situation to support your point. In a more general situation you should just about always take out the other scorpion. You wouldn't let any other vehicle just pass you by cause it doesn't shoot at you. Whats the dif with a scorpion. Plus you never know what that person is planning on doin. Seph gave a perfect example. Killed JP, got rid of a scorpion and saved a big vehicle in the process. Or how don't you know that the person inside doesn't have the shape charge. Or think of it this way anyone willing to pass you by and not try and kill you is planning on doin something really important for their team. So why not stop them.  On the flip side if you JP or the guy with the shape charge, then yea you should try and just get by cause your goal is more important, but as a general anser you should usually take out the other scorpion. Just my thoughts.

if you're attacking a freshly built node it's usually best to take out any vehicles (hint korp) or turrets that may be nearby. if the node is less than 50% then hit it. you'll do about 25% damage then you should be able to take it down all the way with link or flak.

Milly makes a very good point :)

And i agree that JP knows her stuff when it comes to warfare, but her driving is terrible. And play the "sinkhole game" as i like to call it with her. Pisses her off.
