Evolution of The Eagle (1997-2016) (Season Finale)

Описание: This is it, the last episode in the Carmageddon Vehicle Evolution Series and the final vehicle to be covered is the infamous Eagle. A car designed for rammin and slammin and driven by Max Damage, a mad, maximum impact fruitcake with a hydrulic neck and no crumple zones.

The Red Eagle is one of the two starter cars that can be picked from the start, even though the Yellow Hawk in my opinion is slightly better, the Red Eagle is still a very good vehicle overall, it is more durable than the Yellow Hawk and can dish out plenty of damage to the opposition. It will be very well until Rank 55 where you should swap to The Twister once stolen. The Eagle II in splat pack performs similarly to its predecessor.

When the player beats the game, The Red Eagle (C1) and Eagle II (Splat Pack) come in 5 different colour variants, these perform exactly the same as the Red Eagle. My personal favourite out of those is the White Eagle.

Eagle 3 is the starter vehicle in C2 and is a solid vehicle overall with decent power, armor and offense all round. This will do well throughout the early to mid stages of career, although I do recommend grinding for Thunderbucket as soon as possible or The Plow mkII for the late stages and use The Eagle 3 for missions.

When the player beats the game, The Eagle 3 come in 11 different colour variants, My personal favourites out of those is the Red (standard) and White Eagle.

Eagle Mk4 is the starter vehicle in TDR 2000 and unfortunately it is quite a weak vehicle overall. Average armor and weak offense, but decent power and works out as a decent racer as you can get away with completing laps in the early levels until you get something heavier for wrecking the opposition or even better use the Steam Machine from the Nosebleed Pack and that is also available from the start and also use Sports Sedan for most missions thanks to its higher top speed.

Max Damage returns once again in CR/MD with two vehicles, Eagle R and Tez Eagle (known as the Iron Eagle in Crashers). Both are available as starter vehicles once again along with the two Hawks and this time, Both Eagles are the superior options. Decent acceleration, top speed and offense backed with great handling and armor for a starter vehicle make this a fantastic all-rounder. It is by far the best choice for beginners and will do really well in the early stages of the game until Shredlight or Crazor are unlocked.

The Tez Eagle in Reincarnation (also the Kickstarter Kandy skin and KS RS rims for Eagle R) is only available to kickstarter backers (I wasn't one unfortunately) and it performs exactly the same as the Eagle R in terms of power, surprisingly the Tez Eagle has slightly better armor and offense, you won't noticed it unless you dig inside the game files, inside you'll find that the Tez Eagle has slightly higher values in General Defence, Car Defence and Offence. I wanna say thanks to Shotgun Bastard/STRoadwarrior for finding this out. Other differences include the Tez Eagle is mid-engined while the Eagle R is front engined. The Tez Eagle and the skin/rims for Eagle R is now available to all players in Max Damage.

In Multiplayer, both Eagle variants are in a high-tier and can do extremely well in all events thanks to its durability and handling traits, it can even compete against the god-tier vehicles. Do note the Tez Eagle is more at risk of having its wheels bugged after getting wrecked which can severely limit its mobility, although this bug is quite rare.
