What's your top 5 "MODERN" era vehicles.
« on: October 26, 2009, 05:43:15 PM »

I was talking with a friend today and we started discussing what our favourite "Modern era" vehicles were.  That meant to us something "new" made in the past 10 years (2000 on).  We excluded remade/retooled ARAH vehicles (Ghost hawk, Vamp, etc.).  It was kind of surprising how different we were on our choices.  He leaned more towards "fantasy" designs, while I was closer to realistic designs.

His choices were:

Sting Raider
Defense Mech
Pulverizer
Night Adder
Hoverstrike

My choices were:

Thunderwing Jet
Grizzly Tank
Rhino
Ringneck
R.O.C.C.

What about you guys?

OlYeller's top 5:

1.  Night Attack Chopper - love the camo pattern, the winch, and the way the wings deploy for "attack" mode.

2.  Patriot Grizzly - love how huge this tank is, the storage in the back, and the projectile firing.

3.  Night Ops Humvee - the same realism as the jungle/desert Hummers but with added weaponry and badassedness.

4.  RHINO - much more of a "fantasy" vehicle than the others on my list but it has decent troop storage and some really neat features.  And the deployable helicopter rules!

5.  ROCC - really dig the scout/stealth rocket plane, and the vehicle makes an EXCELLENT mobile operations center.

RHINO
Night Ops Humvee
Jungle Strike Humvee
Sigma 6 Dragonhawk (what?)
Steel Crusher

Note that the Hoverstrike is the worst vehicle in the line, worse than the COBRA RAT by far because of its lack of a cockpit, any working features, and the fact that it didn't work at all on practically any surface, and when you could get it to hover you couldn't direct it's motion worth a damn.

It was something that I was looking forward to - a working RC hovercraft, and when I got it, I don't remember ever feeling so let down by a toy.

It stands as my greatest disappointment in the line.

Patriot Grizzly - looks good but I don't own.
Sky Sweeper Jet - would have been perfect if it was a little bigger.
Thunderwing Jet - seriously this thing is to sweet and probably is my fave of these 5.!
Jungle Strike Humvee - awesome
ROCC - another one I don't own but think has alot of great playability elements.
