Anyone care to comment on their personal stock reports on cars? My views on a few vehicles has changed a bit since last playing years ago. I was an absentee for the later couple years of TMBO's life so some things may be old news to a few of you. Of course this is all still opinion and could be different in someone elses eyes.
Most of the big dog car's stock went up for me. MS/DS are definitely lethal.
For years it always depressed the TMBO crowd that people claimed big cars sucked. We knew it was because of net damage, but there was no way to convince the larger TMA community (based solely on our stories) who played it mostly in the first year or two.
I'm glad many at TMA, like you Roadie, are getting a chance to taste the game the way it should have been played. DS and MS are ridiculously powerful cars, and FUN too.
Junkyard Dog probably doesn't seem amazing yet, but give him time. Certainly MS or DS will mop the floor with him, but in team games, if you protect him, he's basically a bomber class who will destroy all of your other team's small cars while whittling down the big ones. VERY powerful car and with a little effort he starts packing 800, 900, or even 1000+ point games easily.
My opinions of the cars are still about the same. C8 might be a bit more powerful than I remember him. I never really got to see Warthog in action before, and now that I do . . . yikes.
Axel is still God.
