In the video, Law the West reviews the Anvil Paladin, a heavy gunship in Star Citizen, highlighting its impressive weaponry and strategic turret placement that enhances combat effectiveness. He advises caution for potential buyers, reminding them that ship specifications can change and suggesting that players can acquire the Paladin later using in-game currency if they choose.
In the video, Law the West provides an in-depth review of the Anvil Paladin, a heavy gunship in the Star Citizen universe. He begins by categorizing the Paladin within the ship hierarchy, noting that it fits just below larger ships like the Perseus and Hammerhead, while being comparable to the Redeemer. The Paladin is equipped with three turrets: two side-mounted turrets featuring pairs of size four guns, and a rail-mounted main turret that boasts four size five weapons. Law highlights that the ship appears to be a modified version of the Valkyrie.
One of the standout features of the Paladin is the strategic placement of its turrets, which allows them to effectively target foes from various angles. Law appreciates that with just one additional player, all weapons can be operated efficiently, and with a full crew, the ship can deliver overwhelming firepower in multiple directions. He also notes the practicality of having a proper set of stairs inside the ship, as opposed to a ladder or ramp, which adds to the ship’s accessibility.
Additionally, Law points out the convenience of the remote turrets, which have their operating stations located close together on the flight deck. This design ensures that gunners can quickly access their stations before engaging in combat. He emphasizes that the pilot can also control the wing-mounted turrets when they aren’t occupied by gunners, enhancing the ship’s versatility. The missile capabilities are impressive as well, with the Paladin housing six missile racks that can accommodate various sizes and configurations.
Despite his enthusiasm, Law expresses some concerns, primarily regarding the potential for the ship to be nerfed due to its strong performance. He admits that his interest in the Paladin is largely driven by its weaponry, particularly the main turret’s four size five guns. He cautions viewers against purchasing a ship solely based on its specifications or weapon loadout, as these aspects can change over time, impacting the ship’s appeal.
In conclusion, Law advises viewers to proceed with caution if they are uncertain about investing in the Anvil Paladin. He suggests that players can always acquire the ship later using in-game currency or upgrade from a less expensive ship if the Paladin meets expectations. The video wraps up with Law thanking the audience for watching and encouraging them to take care.
