Fennek SWP (AAV)

Post by Jacksonez__ »

Hello

Long story short: probably the worst AAV there is in PR.

Pros:
  • It's relatively fast (though Avenger goes the same speed?)
  • Nice sound when shooting a missile
  • Silent!
Cons:
  • Stupid (and big) crosshair
  • Only 8 SAM missiles (4 loaded, 1 set more), for example: Gopher (16), Avenger (16+.50cal), Stormer (24), Tunguska/SPAAA (8 + 23mm autocannon)
  • No ability to toggle thermals
  • Stupid long warm-up time, it could be less than half a minute..
  • Not sure if just me, but I think that the SAM missiles travel slow?
  • Flips relatively easy
  • (Takes lots of damage from surroundings? I was driving from NL base to Sursk in Hades Peak and the car was almost dead because the bumps and things in the forest etc.)
What I feel should be improved: More SAMs, ability to toggle thermals, maybe shorter warm-up time

Well, it's not like you are going to have like 20 aircraft on your screen at one time, and enviromental awareness as AAV gunner is unimportant. I think the crosshair is OK.

In my experience, 4 missiles is more than enough. But then again, I have only been AAV-ing in the FENNEK, ever, so IDK if it really is that better to have an Avenger

I have noticed this. It takes an unreal amount of damage from trees and hills. It's very difficult to avoid this because of the speed of the vehicle and the tree density of the map.

8 missiles is not much when there is MANY air assets in the map. The Avenger has 16 rockets (8 loaded, 1 set) and 50 cal machine gun for self defence, I guess. Avenger warms up way faster than e.g Fennek, also it has three seats (+ only the gunner needs a crewman kit). So Avenger is way superior, if we compare these two.
