🚀 Vehicles
PlanetSide 2 isn’t just boots on the ground. Vehicles change the flow of battle:
🔹 Flash (Quad Bike) → Cheap scout.
🔹 Lightning → Solo tank, flexible loadouts.
🔹 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) → Heavy firepower per faction (Prowler, Vanguard, Magrider).
🔹 Sunderer (Bus) → The most important vehicle — deploys as a spawn point.
🔹 Aircraft → ESFs (fighter jets), Liberator (gunship), Galaxy (flying spawn transport).
⚠️ Vehicles are resource-dependent — protect them and your team’s spawns!

🗺️ Map & Strategy
🔹 Capture Bases → Stand on points, hold until secured.
🔹 Lattice System → Attack/defend linked bases only.
🔹 Spawns Matter → Protect your Sunderer; destroy enemy ones.
🔹 Zergs → Massive groups of players. Fun, but don’t always guarantee wins.
👉 Use the map (M) often — it’s your tactical guide.
