Falcon. But only if you have a good pilot or you are a good pilot.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Banshee wins because the majority of pilots are retarded.

Winner of the 2012 Lurker of the Year award.

I'm watching you.

It really depends on how knowledgeable the pilots are. A falcon can easily dodge a banshee bomb and return fire from a distance, but a banshee can easily get above/below the falcon and avoid the gunner.

This is of course assuming that they are aware of each others presence from the start. From what I've seen in matchmaking, the winner is usually the one who gets the first attack in before the other notices.

Sad but true, the Falcon should win these duels much more often but Banshees are easy for anyone to use and an effective Falcon requires 1) a smart pilot and 2) a smart gunner 3) who communicate with each other.

I find it much easier to dodge a Banshee bomb from a close range

The banshee can do more damage than a falcon but a good falcon pilot will dominate a good banshee pilot provided that their gunner has a brain cell.

Falcon, though I'm bias because of how little I get in either vehicle. I'm bollocks in a Banshee though.

Huzzah for pedestrians....

I mean... Both are ok I guess.

Amen to that. Too many stupid people in reach, if I drive i have a bad gunner, if I gun my driver stays still.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

A good falcon team will destroy a good banshee pilot, but a good banshee is far more effective than a good falcon when spawn-killing randoms.
