Phaeton

How will we high jack the phaeton? Ive browsed several videos and haven’t found anything. From what we’ve seen, i dont think the phaeton is high jackable. Although that is an assumption im curious. I also havent seen any one leave their phaeton. If you see some one high jack a phaeton, please link the video. Also, if you see someone leave the phaeton, link the vid, thanks. :wink:

I haven’t seen anyone hijack a banshee in H5 yet, so I wouldn’t rely on this fact.

Maybe its because a PP is a req weapon that cost energy now and due to the lack of the jetpack in H5 hijacking air vehicles isn’t as easy as in reach/4.

It seems like hijacking any air vehicle will be a lot harder now that there is no jetpack and you cant spawn with a plasma pistol. However, im sure when we see BTB or something later on, we’ll see the Phaeton

Well you obviously wouldn’t leave the so called most over powered vehicle that cost you 7 req points. A flying hover vehicle wouldn’t be easy to hijack.

I guess you guys are right.

I guess we’ll see when forge releases.

I have hijacked a Banshee, but I’ve only ever seen 3 Phaetons (player controlled) on the battlefield, and I was in one of them.

I have hijacked plenty of Banshees but have only seen a few Phaetons in battle. I would assume they are jackable it you could r such them!

I doubt you will see many Phaeton hijacks just because of the way the vehicle operates. I mean in the banshee if your shooting ground targets etc because of the way the vehicle operates you have to fly down towards them. For the Phaeton you don’t there isn’t really a need in the Phaeton to fly low to the ground so unless someone does PP I can’t see them getting hijacked often unless the pistol is terrible or people jump out of their banshees and drop down ODST style to board a Phaeton.

not even seen one yet. i would have thought it jackable, but havent confirmed. i’ve stolen banshees so its still possible for them.

Plasma Pistol time.

I have boarded a phaeton in warzone on the snow map. I was taking over the armory and the phaeton really wanted 2 stop the capture so he got so low he was on the roof of red armory. I boarded him and used the phaeton 4 5sec, 1st time i have ever used 1, needless w say i didnt know how 2 operate it correctly and lost it vs 2 banshees in seconds. I capped the base b4 i skyjacked the phaeton :slight_smile:

Guess we all know now huh
