    Better Pilot, Generic or Named Figures?

    Who would you rather have included with a vehicle, a generic army buider (ex. Vipers) or a named pilot (ex Wild Weasel)? I ask because I like the new Cobra Air Ship and would like to get multiples but don't want to have 5 Fireflys. (I'll keep 2, one of each color). But sometimes a bad pilot can make me not want a vehicle as much (ex. Terra Viper). But what do you guys think is better? Do you prefer vehicle 'specialists' like Wild Weasel or Army Builders like Air Vipers?

    I voted generic since the question seems Cobra-centric. If it's Joe though I want a unique named character.

    I kind of like both. I guess it depends on the vehicle. I like the named characters fine if I'm only buying one of the vehicle. I'm actually working on trying to customize a Skystriker for my Tiger Rat. However, I think the Hiss Driver is great because I currently have four of them.

    I guess when it comes down to it, I want a generic driver or none packaged with the vehicle, and carded unique drivers/pilots. I would have preferred that the HISS came with the red driver, and for Rip-It to have been carded.

    Yeah I was mainly talking about Cobra. More people seem to army build Cobra than Joe. Plus we only have a few Joe generics. You really think Rampage or Snow Job is gonna get driven around by some green shirt

    Assuming we are talking about Cobra, I like generic pilots. However I would like a Wild Weasel single pack to add to the line. For Joe I like named pilots.
