What is your favorite unit/vehicle to play as in Battlezone, either in the story or online? (and why?)

Favorite vehicle to look at: Black dog grizzly, the red/green/black paint scheme is sexy. Favorite vehicle to fight with: Czar, for its massive armor and ammo capacity Least favorite vehicles to fight with: Bombers, rocket tanks

Depends obviously on what you're doing. Basic battle: either grizzly or BD razor. I tried online with NSDF razor once, with moderate success. I love rocket tanks with 2x tag cannons. My least favorite vehicle to pilot is a walker. But they are pretty good in themselves. Very much dislike tuskers and stolis!

Favorite: Bobcat, it has a nice variance of weapons, and has more ammo than a grizzly. Also: Wolverine, I just like it. Haha. Least: Bombers, they move too slow.....

Its funny, if I piloted bombers or rocket tanks more often then I'd probably put them as my favorite vehicle than the grizzly, each vehicle requires its own kind of practice to gain some skill.

Favorite would be the bombers, grendel being my preference due its superior maneuverability compared to the thunderbolt. Nothing beats seeing your opponent eat two rockets or long range bombing of all those random dog-fighters. My aim still sucks though

I'm pretty sure all 3 bombers have equal maneuverability.  My favorite ship in DM is the NSDF Pilot. HAHA just kidding. Lately I joke around with the black dog thunderbolt launching comets at everybody.  I don't really have a favorite ship, but you'll rarely see me in a Stealth Tank these days. In strategy games, I will definitely choose Grizzly, Czar, or BDog Grizzly.

Grizzly. 4 different weapons make Grizzly the strongets unit to start with. Of course, as the game advances, you would need 2 SP stabbers and a mortar to keep it that way.

It's harder to turn the thunderbolt around as opposed to the grendel.

That information was taken from the BZ Manual that Activision wrote, and so much of that information is incorrect. It's clear that the manual was written before the game was made. In the game, there's no difference in turning speed or even forward speed. Any speed difference or agility difference between different bombers is all in your head.
