No change to the magrider default cannon?

Not at this time, but it's very unlikely that either the prowler/vanguard will get buffed without the magrider getting a little love, in fact that nerf to the magrider would have been worse, Higby originally said that the hover height from the performance upgrades were originally going to be removed, but he back tracked after the ... feedback.
Patch notes released, looks like it will be today.
With regards to the comments made about tanks being useless in big battles, it is all about positioning. Don't get too close, make sure there are plenty of rocks or buildings you can pop out from behind of, and then move back for the inevitable repairs. You can change the tide of a battle with one tank that knows what it is doing.
Sometimes as infantry in an infantry battle, your struggling to gain any ground, then a beautiful Maggie comes sweeping in, locates their sunderer, everyone puts in effort to destroy it, and away we go. Love it.

I did a full clean install with my Upgrade. There's guides on how to achieve it.
Admittedly the Metro interface isn't my favourite aspect of the OS, but it's running well & 99% of my time is spent on the desktop anyway like W7 but all round my system is running better for it. Like I said, I paid £15 for it, so it's a bargain for me & I still have my old W7 to fall back on if required.
In other PS2 news, the new patch is out

Yeah, downloaded the patch about 30 minutes ago.
Waiting for the servers to go online now, seems the forums are down as well.

Haven't been following the thread or playing the game lately. Has cpu usage improved now? Last time I played it couple of weeks ago, cpu usage was around 55-65% iirc.

I've been only getting 40% CPU usage on my 4 cores pre patch.
I hope the patch improves the performance of the game, I sometimes get under 10 FPS in really large battles, don't know how much longer I'll play the game for if this doesn't provide a noticeable improvement.

So, whoever thought it was a good idea to do maintenance that lasted all morning, afternoon and into the evening on a Saturday needs a good smack.
Again, this just proves that this game like many games run by Sony are idiots.

Probably the same guy who thought, "You know, this patch is ready, let's not make the players wait any longer for the update & hit them with it now"
I like that guy. Working weekends to get a major patch out is good in my book & be thankful in essentially a F2P game tbh.

Or just shrug because it's their own grave they're digging out of from releasing the game too early so it's buggy / incomplete?
Or that they said the patch would be done at the end of January, not the start of February which has pushed the upgrade window into the weekend instead of Thursday or Friday?

Been playing for about 30 minutes.
The patch is crap, performance is worst then ever, low FPS pretty much everywhere.
On top of that, they naffed the ESF Rotter, trying to dogfight anyone with it is really bad, it's got the same crap distance as the NC's but less damage.
Oh and a other thing, rendering! Rendering is even worst now, getting shot to bits by some unseen flak who is only like 100 to 150m away, secondly, bases don't render to what faction they belong too untill you right on top of the base when flying, so that's right, I have to make a quick fly by into a base for it to render to see if it belongs to me or them only to get raped by pretty much an entire army then land and repair and make a proper attack run on something.
Faction colours are pretty much crap, I quickly fixed that.
