Just wow. Okay, the CAV isn't too bad. It's the good old jeep with a grenade launcher and mg on it. However, the VADS is just plain overpowered.
It takes down helicopters in seconds, has no recoil, and fires like the blackhawks guns (taking a split second to charge, can overheat).
On Atacama Desert, I've successfully used it to take down the hind, uav, and all the jeeps with no trouble at all. I have yet to see the second base because defense really won't lose the first base. If they had a tank to help them, maybe it would be more even... On Port Valdez, it just gives that team the advantage with a far superior AA gun.
If you really, really hate helicopters, they aren't a problem at all anymore, you can even shoot it at your team's helicopter and cause it to crash just from the knock back. You don't even need to get in it, as I guarantee the worst team mate you have will be fighting for it, and even he can easily destroy any helicopter.
Going over the stats I have, without factoring in the vehicle specs...
VADS TTK Choppers: 1.26 seconds Old AA TTK Choppers: 3.25 seconds
Obviously shots miss on both, but this puts the new VADS further ahead, as it puts more shots down range faster (meaning the misses mean less to it). All helicopters are helpless against it, as I've yet to see one have time to evade the fire from it. Plus, Atacama Desert as I said doesn't even give attackers tanks to help. Defense only needs to protect their VADS from snipers, and they can easily defend on the first base.

hmm I've yet to play with the CAV (is it on Port Valdez? Haven't played it yet), but the VADS is pretty damn good.
Is it just me? or did the bullets from the VADS seem to push the Hind away? Every time I tried flying the Hind and I got shot by the VADS, it felt like a hurricane suddenly started blowing on the chopper. It made it at least 20x harder to fly, and the Hind is hard enough already.

VADS is a nice change of pace from the old AA, but it is pretty ridiculous. I was trying to attack base 1 with the Hind, but as soon as that thing started shooting it was like the Hind was being hit by an overcharged gravity gun. Luckily, a well placed UAV strike can take the gunner out, and it's not impossible to push the defense back to the final stand base.
