PlanetSide is a persistent world, constantly changing. Updates like this
are made on an ongoing basis, so stay up-to-date with what's to come in
regular update reports right here.
The SkyGuard
As the Liberator takes to the skies, Empire leaders have recognized the
need for an effective counter-attack vehicle. This necessity led to the
development of the SkyGuard.
The SkyGuard is a two-person Anti-Aircraft ground vehicle. The pilot lies in the cockpit, positioned ahead of the gunner. The gunner mounts a raised 360 degree turret equipped with an anti-aircraft Flak Cannon and a 12mm machine gun to suppress ground troops. To effectively pursue and vanquish airborne targets, the Skyguard has been designed with a focus on speed and maneuverability.
Air units will be wise to learn to recognize the SkyGuard and prepare for its challenge. Commanders will recognize the advantages of keeping these vehicles active in base defense scenarios
Liberator Bomber
As the battles for the domination of Auraxis™ rage, new weapons and
tactical situations will continually emerge. The PlanetSide® team will
be adding content and features throughout the game's life. Among the first
updates will be a new aircraft: the Liberator.
The Liberator is a bomber that carries three passengers, all with weapons access. The pilot will position the aircraft over the intended target, with a bombardier dropping the payload. The bombardier may choose to drop single bombs or carpet-bomb across a small focused area. The pilot is equipped with a forward-mounted 35mm chain-cannon. The tail-gunner mans a 20mm cannon to defend the craft against a rear assault.
The Liberator's capability for clearing tightly grouped targets defending chokepoints and tactical positions will bring new offensive opportunities to the soldiers of all three Empires.
Keep watching the PlanetSide website for details on further enhancements and additions . the war has just begun and mastery of these additions will be crucial for victory.
