The Viper was created to be a fast attack vehicle, capable of getting in and out of urban environments and handling any threat within them. Its speed allows it to pursue and out-manuever tanks of other factions, preferring to not get hit at all rather than soak up damage.

6. Increase Friction
   
7. Decrease Friction

Friction can be increased (6) for quick braking, or to apply a parking brake. Friction should always be decreased (7) to 0 when in motion.

The Tank is most stable under 200 km/h. Over this speed, it begins to get too much air on many hills, which can lead to issues such as rolling or nose diving. Operating this tank requires careful usage of the hover thrusters (4). It is not recommended that you have these thrusters online during normal driving, as they can decrease contact with the land to an unsafe extent. However, these thrusters should be turned on whenever you gain too much air, as it will soften the fall back to the earth and keep you from damaging the tank. It is recommended that you allow the fall to begin, and use the hover thrusters to slow a fall, rather than turning the thrusters on as soon as you go airborne.

Note that the tank is capable of flight, if you have the hover thrusters on and pitch the nose up slightly. While it is not designed for this, the feature can be useful if you need to cross chasms or other impassible terrain, or find yourself going too fast and getting too much air.
