What wingman do you prefer?

Post by snaeper »

Just wondering which wingman you like, or none at all.
That's really something.

IDK, I had a scout who blocked for me on accident, by taking out an opponents car lol. And the scouts are useful to get to know the massive amounts of shortcuts until you know them yourself. But yeah, i like the blockers a lot.

Not that great when the scout starts blocking you, like they tend to do on me when I have them active.

when you've got underpowered tuners (compared to the massive acceleration of muscle cars), drafters become almost essential. Nikki is an excellent drafter, whom I'm beginning to find a lot more useful than any blocker.

Well i i can't decide between Blokers and Scouts.
Blokers are good for knoking them idiots out of your way but if you are in 3rd place he will always be behind you as with scouts they fire into the lead and also give you shortcuts so i choose scouts and the best is (i think) is Yumi (when you are at the beggining like me) cuz she gives you discounts and 25% boost of your Nitrous.

My crew members:
Scouts: Yumi(25% N2O boost, 10% discount on performance parts)
Drafter: Nikki(50% speedbreaker & N2O boost, 10% discount on cars)
Blocker: Samson(10% more cash per win)

am i the only odd one who loves scouts? I use every shortcut they tell me...they block cars for u..they tell u which car is behind u if they getin too close 'e.. that skyline on the left is getin close watch it!

they help alot in speedtraps when the A.I cheats..just make sure ur scout is ahead of u..i just let my scout win some of my races...lol

Oh i LOVE how they drive side by side with you during high speed..first 2 posistion is you and ur wingman...and when ur wingman takes a shortcut...u missed it..and u can see ur wingman driving in da shortcut....and u use nos to catch up..and the best bit is when u2 meet each other on da road again...feels like fast and the furious..when u weeve between traffic....brilliant.

I used the first guy I get (The monkey :D) and liked him blocking stuff, but later on I used Nikki and drafting behind her made me win several Tier 3 races with my Elise, 8it is unrealistic but he.

I stick with Yumi for the most part, she's quick and she's reliable for finding quick shortcuts.

Either that, or Colin for Speedtraps.

but scouts stay close to you, and u feel that ''team work feel'' with this A.I i like how they react to how u drive..thats one of the best bits...about crews..

I tried drafter..and im not used to it..to me scout feels like its ur racing parthner...
