There are several of us on the mIRC and we are having an argument about if the vehicles used in the siege battle(in the video) are hovertanks or some other name.

Hover tank sounds like it will get Darkfall out of the unimaginative fantasy rut and let real innovation in that isn't afraid to take risks.

Let's call a spade a spade and keep it with hover tanks. This is supposed to be a sandbox game after all. Not a theme park.

I thought that they were the siege platforms that have been mentioned once or twice.

Of course, there is no reason why you can't call a siege platform a warhulk.

Technically they are Warhulks, but realistically, they are hover-tanks. Unfortunately, they don't realistically fit into this kind of setting.

Whatever they are, I think they are kind of whack. All of a sudden it reminds me of planet side all those years ago. However I also think they could be fun... at least conceptually. I don’t like the idea of siege equipment that drives around like that but if they were more along the lines of just large transport with limited offensive, that might be cool. It also opens the doors for actual caravans with wagons later on. this way people could transport massive amounts of goods (worth raiding and protecting) such as building materials for walls, etc.

It is good to break out of the fantasy box. Take some risk to really innovate the fantasy MMOG genre. Sci-Fi can be very creative. Why can't Darkfall? Labeling these hover tanks warhulks seems like a desperate attempt to assuage the impact these hover tanks will have in the fantasy genre and that is just a step backwards.

Technically they are Warhulks, but realistically, they are hover-tanks. Unfortunately, they don't realistically fit into this kind of setting.

For them to be hovertanks, they must be hovering tanks. Yes, they hover. No, they are not tanks. Look up the wiki article on tanks.
A tank is a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines strong strategic and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield.[1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank)
Warhulks are not armoured, nor do they appear to be intended for front line combat. They are magically propelled, canon-mounted hovering vehicles, not tanks. So, they are warhulks, not hovertanks.

Although a historical equivalent would be the machine gun-mounted horse drawn carts of the Russian Revolution.
