    Why did you choose XoO?
    I recently came to Waterson with the Jaeger transfer, and the outfit I had been in that server has been defunct for the past few weeks. I saw that you guys were recruiting from your posts on the old Jaeger forums, and this seemed like a good time to make a change. I have heard that XoO is the most organized Vanu outfit on Waterson, and that certainly suits what I am looking for in this game. I really enjoy playing in squads and platoons that communicate and are coordinated. I am always willing to follow the directions of squad and platoon leaders above pursuing my own personal kill fests, and I enjoy bringing whatever I have to the fight in the service of accomplishing the larger objective. I am looking for a long term home for this game, and for a place to get to know some new people.
    Localization:
    North America
    Activity level?
    Typically around 25 hours per week.
    What are your normal play times? (be general ex 6pm -10pm)
    I am typically on for a couple of hours int he early afternoon (EST), and then for several hours in the evening between 7:00 PM - 2:00 AM. I am fairly flexible on when I play at night so I can be on whenever there are organized events.
    What is your favorite class to play?
    Heavy Assault is my go to class, although I am also proficient with LA. Of course, I play engineer when piloting a vehicle.
    What is your favorite vehicle to use?
    Scythe is my go to vehicle. I love blowing up prowlers and vanguards.
    You’re standing at a Sunderer, an enemy tank approaches over the nearest hiiltop. What do you do?
    Since I am probably on my Heavy Assault, I would immediately move away from the sunderer and try to get behind the tank as quickly as possible. I always run with either Hades or Nemesis, depending on the situation, so I can dumbfire rockets when I need to. Once I was behind the tank, I would put a rocket into it's back quarter, which should elicit some kind of reaction. I would hope to either kill the tank myself, or to distract it long enough for more people to spawn from the sundy and finish it off. If I happened to have C4 instead of a medkit, I might try to stick some C4 on the tank for a really quick kill.
    You’re standing at a Sunderer, an enemy air-unit approaches in the distance. What do you do?
    Assuming the sunderer is deployed, I would immediately get my Nemesis from the terminal if I wasn't already using it. I would then start trying to acquire a lock on while moving away from the sunderer so as to avoid the inevitable rocket spam. I would continue firing at the aircraft until it was destroyed or scared away, at which time I might switch to engineer to repair the sunderer if it had been damaged. I might also consider spawning a burster max if there were multiple aircraft in the area, depending on the current squad objective. Additionally, if I knew the sundy had anti-air guns, then I would just get in those and use those to scare the aircraft away.
    In your opinion, which vehicle is most important to the game?
    The sunderer is unquestionably the most important vehicle in the game. The core of this game is infantry combat and capturing objectives, and the sunderer is the vehicle that supports those efforts. The sunderer is the most important thing to defend when attacking an objective, and the most important thing to find and destroy when defending an objective. Everyone should be ready to pull an AMS sundy when its needed. Any vehicle push in the game depends on infantry support, and taking out the sunderer leaves them vulnerable. The other vehicles in the game are immensely powerful in certain situations, but you can't capture anything when you're sitting in your EST or MBT. You have to put infantry in the buildings to make anything happen in this game, and for that you need a sunderer.
    In your opinion, which class is most important to the game?
    The Heavy Assault is probably the most important class in the game, mostly for the same reason that the sunderer is the most important vehicle. A fight isn't over in this game until there are 6/6 on the objective and the enemy is pushed back into their spawn room, and the HA is the class that makes that happen. The HA needs to be supported by good medics, good LA's, and good engi/max combos, but they are all depending on the HA to bring the bulk of the firepower that is going to kill the enemy infantry defending an objective. The HA is also a great defender, with the kind of versatility among their weapon selection to be effective at any engagement range. The HA is a quick and easy counter to vehicle pushes, and in sufficient numbers can stop even a MBT push cold. They aren't the single best thing to deploy against a vehicle push, but they can at least slow it down long enough for other forces to kill it off. The other classes all have situations where they shine, and they are all needed in a fight, but the HA is the one that ultimately delivers victory.

    How did you hear about XoO?
    I saw your recruitment post on the old Jaeger forum, and I also was directed here after running with one of your open platoons on Waterson the past few days.
