Ship.wreck...the bane of my ME1 existence are the Thresher Maws...do you have any tactics with them? Some of the nests have conveniently sized hills around them, where you can park up and their spit can't hit you, but they still stay where they are, so just Mako blast away until their dead...But there are two or three Threshers, where those hills just don't seem so available, have you found a tactical solution for them? I spend a lot of time dying with those ones...
They seem to surface randomly, so I just drive in random loops all over their nest, constantly moving, then hit em with the 105 when they surface, plus constant strafing with the coaxial mg while the 105 is reloading. I've only been killed once, when one surfaced right behind me and for some reason I was reversing, got a little to close and Thresher Smash! Otherwise this seems to work pretty well. But tactics are limited with the Threshers since nothing will kill them effectively except the Mako's 105. You have to use the thing, plus they won't surface unless you're on or very near the nest, so you can't really use surrounding moutains for cover for the most part. With the exception of those occassional convenient hills you just have to get in there and keep moving.
Like I said I drive around constantly in large random loops, then when it surfaces, usually somewhat near me I immediately drive away from it, while firing backwards at it, then when I get a safe distance I start to circle it for as long as it stays surfaced. But then they only stay surfaced for so long, so it becomes a matter of fitting as many 105 shots as possible in that interval with constant mg fire. Very much one of those "rinse and repeat" processes.
Although now that I think of it, I've always thought the power of my SpectreGear Sniper Riffle with HE IX rounds and 2 X Scram Rail IX was comparable to the Mako cannon (about half as powerful) So now I'm going to have to go big game hunter on one of those beasts! It's probably not gonna work out so well, but if and when I bring one down I'm going to be extremely dissapointed that there's not some huge reward and achievement for taking out a Thresher while foot mobile
Thank you Ship.wreck...unfortunately I usually try too hard for close hits and stop too often...your way sounds like I could have abetter chance at living...
.Yep, I have thought about getting out of the Mako and trying for one on foot...I think that would only be achievable where the hill side hits work...I haven't been quite game enough to try it yet though...
....You give it a go and tell me how you fare...
....Check the Achievement Board, would be cool if it's there.

...Wow, your game...that easy huh?...
....Okay, I'm game, I'll give it a go...
...Thank you for the heads up Senior Cinco...
....DAMN!! You have no idea how close to the truth you are...
....am currently trying to wean myself off of extreme XBox use...Hubby reckons the XBox is rejecting anything thats not ME now..
.....I'm not going to publically admit how long it took me to make my Shep and how far I went to get him just right...eye candy for me...
. Getting off the subject, kinda disturbing myself now...
