In this review, Even Lee highlights the Tumbril Storm as a fast, durable, and heavily armed ground assault vehicle in Star Citizen, praised for its high burst damage, substantial health and shields, and practical design features. Despite minor visual glitches, the Storm’s mobility, firepower, and versatility—along with its ability to be transported by larger ships—make it one of the best ground vehicles currently available in the game.
In this video review, Even Lee takes an in-depth look at the Tumbril Storm, a ground vehicle in Star Citizen. Priced at $90 on the pledge store but available for 453,600 AUEC in-game, the Storm is designed for ground assault with impressive speed and firepower. It features a size three rain laser repeater that delivers a high burst damage per second of 24,042, despite a minor visual glitch where only one barrel animates when firing. The vehicle also boasts a substantial health pool of 89,000 HP and a size zero shield generating 545 bubble shield, making it durable on the battlefield.
The Storm is often overlooked in favor of its sibling, the Storm AA, which excels at anti-air defense. However, this variant is tailored to take on light ground targets and infantry with its powerful laser repeater that can even damage ships if targeted accurately. It is highly mobile, allowing players to blitz across battlefields like Hatheror quickly, though the rocky terrain of Daymar poses some challenges. The tank is well-equipped defensively, carrying 96 flares and 10 decoys—more than many airborne ships—and 5 SU of hydrogen fuel, though it lacks a quantum drive for long-distance travel.
Even Lee highlights the vehicle’s practical design, including multiple armor panels that open to reveal component access points and a weapons rack conveniently placed near the pilot’s seat. The Storm’s interior is functional with a cockpit that offers a futuristic feel, complete with power controls, turret deployment, and storage access. The vehicle provides 450,000 micro SCU of storage, making it not only a combat asset but also useful for hauling supplies. The review also notes some minor collision and visual glitches that the developers may address in future updates.
In action, the Tumbril Storm proves its worth by quickly dispatching various targets, including ground vehicles, aerial ships like the Gladius, and infantry personnel. Its speed and firepower allow it to avoid incoming fire effectively, making it a formidable asset in ground combat scenarios. Even Lee praises the vehicle for its balance of mobility, firepower, and durability, giving it a strong recommendation and a “double thumbs up” as one of the best ground vehicles currently available in Star Citizen.
Finally, the reviewer emphasizes the versatility of the Storm, noting it can be transported by multiple larger ships such as the Carrack, Corsair, Idris, Polaris, Hercules, and Asgard, enhancing its strategic deployment options. Despite its higher price on the pledge store, the in-game acquisition cost is reasonable given its capabilities. Even Lee concludes by thanking supporters and recommending Longship Industries for PC builds, while encouraging viewers to consider the Tumbril Storm for their ground combat needs in Star Citizen.
