Yeah i know :) Like a child designed it. Thats cos Harimau race, and save the world at the same time. Were nice guys 8)
The Pure model wasnt the best, but personally i think the HD model is slick, and the 3rd ship skin is awesome. For ages I thought the 2nd yellow skin was the best... but nah :)
Now them's fight'n words. The "Aqua Lung" is definitely the best.:+Quote:

harimau is a blast to fly. was my weapon of choice for Pure, and had the chance to try it in Pulse when asayyeah generously got me the euro pack to put on my psp at the US convention :+
PS- My loyalty stays with Feisar always and forever...Who needs earth preservation any ways ;)
Ill be honest there are days when i test other crafts to see if i fancy a change.
Its just amazing how much speed a Harimau can lose if your lines arent perfect, and your flyings not super slick.
Sideshifting through corners where possible is even more of a bonus than normal when using Harimau. Their low thrust can sometimes take sooooooooo long to pull your ship up to top speed after airbraking hard.
I find in many non wepon races if i take a corner wide, old wellington is his feisar is flying through, though on fast high speed corner tracks like vineta k reverse where you can repeatidly sideshift over airbraking, even a high flying Icarus hitting perfect lap after lap will find it hard to pass if you get it right.
In my humble opinion, the Harimau now is like a slightly lesser version of the Van-Uber ship I loved in fusion. Despite it clearly not being the best in the series, that ship had be glued to it. Awesome hadling, almost top speed, and bugger all shields..... who needed shields when you cant get caught :)
I know your shields already rubbish but go on boys! :) drop it another little bit to make room for just a little bit more thrust! :D
umm maybe for xmas i can get a psp so finally i will can use harimau and others ships expecially van uber in pure, then i will get pulse also
actually 3 days ago i've purchased a pure copy in a shoping center before a nice evening outside with my friends for 7,90 eu, the DLC packs i've download already on my pc, so half step is done...now i need a psp
You have US Pulse and the Packs... <cry, sniffle, cry>Quote:

This may change the outcome of a race every now and then, but I really don't think it changes anything in the long run. Whatever the craft you like to pilot is, I believe it is in your best interest to avoid collisions as much as possible, and this is when a smaller ship with very good handling has the advantage.
:nod Fly Harimau, save the world. :nod
harimau smaller bulk than assegai???:eek are you drunk?
practically assegai is a leaf! the twin hulls are two long leaves until the cockpit and they aren't even attached from the front but from the sides and if you take a look in between you can see the empty space...it give me a feel of frailty umm brrr, have you try to rotate the ships in the teams menu and take a look friend, a deep look...have you noticed that assegai practically have two long hulls thick like a paper and under there is nothing, till the cockpit/engine then there are the two airbrakes which are thin as well and attached to the base
the only conpact part is all the stuff just around the cockpit...how you can state that harimau is less bulkier, harimau is full like a sandwich in comparison, harimau have a sort of underbelly just below the chassis...maybe assegai is wider ,yes it is, but not bulkier c'mon!
Hi darkfaerytales, first of all let me tell you how much I appreciated the way you expressed your disagreement. However, please note that I hardly ever get drunk before 5pm on Fridays.
Considering that english is not my mother tongue, I may have failed to formulate my opinion appropriately:
Even though I still think that Harimau looks lighter than Assegai, I was rather trying to emphasize on the fact that Harimau is just shorter and narrower than Assegai.
ok friend in this case:+
:beer can i offer to you a beer or better a red bull for the 6 pm then?:g
p.s. don't worry english isn't my mother tongue too:sonar
I have to agree with Darkfairy. Assagai is light as hell and not al bulky as Harimau. It's annoying really cause Assagai and Harimau should be a tad bit faster, well definately faster than Ag systems.
Anytime, friendQuote:

the haribo ship tastes sweet, looks sweeter and drives the sweetest.
it's not all in the stats...
The old harrie is the most direct responsive ship on the menu! If you do not have the nerve to test your skills with it (yeah that's right it is unforgiving) Do not request its dismissal! Only believe that true understanding will dock with your brain at some point!:banzai
We are the motion in cockpit view league and we are coming for all your times! Yes that is right, a revolution is occurring. I have been playing on line for 5 days and have just posted my first sub 500 time, subtotal already has many top 50 times. Try motion. Go on, just try it, yes thats right it feels good yes? seductive? You did badly but you know you can do better! Mwahahahahaha!:bat
Actually, Harimau is my favourite ship!
Atta' boy!

To answer the original question, Harimau, I think, cannot be the weakest ship in the game because Triakis is much weaker and just desperately slow. I`ve been hoping to get 100k in all ships, but really attempting this in Triakis is making me lose the will to live. Respect to all who can get any speed out of this bathtub. :banzai Wipeout HD really needs an eliminator mode add on because Triakis really needs a raison d`etre ;) My apologies to all fans of the big grey shark, but it`s not what it used to be in 2197 :)
yes massive respect to all who can manouver the "military barrack", "army tub" "the camo spraggled iron-bulk" :P
i salute you all cause you surely are better pilots than me.
and as a response to this thread, i love the harimau especially in the blue and orange ( i seem to be the only one who dont adore the yellow for some reason. but still harimau is the only ship where all skins are unique.) and it handles SO wonderfully.
i am proud to say that the multi coloured greenpeace craft is one of my absolute favourites.
Okay, I used Harimau to finish my campaign on the Meltdown grid. I used to really think this team was a joke. Now they're in my top 5 right now. My friend Justin was playing HD for the first time last night and he would not use anything but Harimau once he used it the first time.
They've come a long way from Pure.
When I first tried Wipeout HD Harimau was the only ship I could really learn to control, especially when I finally switched it to Phantom (flash is for weaklings)
After racing with Harimau I got used to it on phantom speed, but why do people keep saying the ship is so terrible? I find it much easier to turn with them as a noob to wipeout.
Indeed. Back then Harimau really was the weakest ship all around! :blargQuote:

Now Harimau, while still feeling rather medium, is overall much better. The glitch that was removed helps too. :)
Being a yellow/black Goteki skin user I have certain "compassion" for Harimau pilots donning the same colours ;)
Try to set a world record time in Flash [or any other class, fast or slow], and you'll see that you have to be a strongling to do it.Quote:

Much of me still thinks this is the reason most people don't race with Harimau online.
Kind of the case with the new harimau - bit of a cliché nowadays
Oldimau looks the sexiest and drives the sexiest, nuff said.
Fury-mau is perhaps the best ship for manoeuvrability and speed, if that's what you want. It is a shame that it has succumbed to overuse. Maybe not overuse, but certainly misuse. Although it is excellent for speed laps and time trial, if a track isn't suited to Icaras it is probably suited to Harimau. Beats AG-SYS any day. :)
what i think about the ships...my opinion only...dont take as fact, so dont take offence...:)
harimau ...is good ship allround..handling is good,fast starter,
ags... is unstable and bumpy but quick on the start.
icarus ...is average but loses out on the slow conering and dosnt seem any faster than the other ships.very rarely wins from what i have seen unless in the hands of an expert.
assegai..really good ship alround.
fiesar..fiddly to control if your not used to it but is so good at handling.beware of good fiesar players they own on corners.
gotecki....super fast thrust, but only a ship for experts like varti and hellfire...too tricky for me to use.
never used any others so i havnt got an oppinion
Definately overuse, it's all over the place (guilty overuser and abuser :( ).
If you don't have the skill/patience to do it in a Icaras; use the mau :lol
harimua isnt overused as icaras.when you look at all speed classes..
triakis and auricom and qirex are rarely used for some reason..mirage is quite rare too and ags is becoming a bit scarce.
Triakis Qirex and Auricom are used plenty by me! :D :+
In my opinion, the Icaras is the weakest ship and that Plasma (a weapon) can easily destroy the Icaras in two hits. Harimau is slightly stronger and that it has very good handling and can survive any weapons that is inflicted against Harimau, except for Plasma.
AG-S is more tempting to me with every Phantom race. First it was just the feeling of being in first place until the first turn, then the feeling of being in first place until after the first turn, then being in first place for the whole first lap.
Of course after your speed tops out, the feeling that you're a sitting duck for cannon ammunition sets in.
I used to be an ag-sys fan, but recently i fell for harimau. I have been pulverizing my PB's since :D.
As for being pushed around, i never win i somehow always get pushed aside regardless of the used craft
True, fury ship's enhancements forgot ag-system :?Quote:

I dont think Harimau is the weakest. Far from it actually.
I discussed the issue of Harimau against Assegai in a post on Gamefaqs months ago. I stated that Harimau isn't really inferior to Assegai because i had the feeling that Harimau feels lighter and take cornering by banking all its mass on one side in a perfectly balanced way, opposite to Assegai which i feel the tail slides sidewards to reorient the ship inside the curve, giving a feeling of heaviness and because the way the airbrakes act and are engineered.
Multiple replies to my statement were in accordance with my point of view. Harimau isn't really in the shadow of Assegai because of its "inferior" stats. It seems there's definitely a difference of mass and velocity between the 2 ships, as well as different behavior in navigation.
Harimau is just perfectly balanced in its conception. That's why i use it. I can't pilot Assegai adequately because of the way it behaves.
