@nemo, I've put you on block. I've tried to help you but I've come to the realization that you don't want to be helped. You'll notice that even in the Rants section, the good people here won't hesitate to offer tips and tricks. You obviously aren't interested in learning and getting better at this game. Seems like every day you come here to whine and gripe. If you want to leave a game in a huff, then leave a game in a huff. We've all done that. Leave enough though and you'll find yourself in the LPQ. At that point, you probably should just uninstall the game because you'll face even more Hydra, Snipers and Ancilots there.
When you're ready to accept help and discuss this game in a mature fashion, I'll unblock you and will be more than willing to offer advice based on my experience once more.

No matter how you justify hydra usage, people who use it are 「kitty cats」 and fktrds. Except of course those people who use it to target spectrain and ?Deutsche?bots only (I doubt there are such people). Please remain polite and refrain from using profanity on the forum.

When I start to complain about a weapon or build while in a match I know it is because its very, very effective. Then I think about getting one. I only have one hydra but maybe I will see about getting a couple more. I Liked what someone posted about the effects hydra has on Spocktrains. And I am getting Into higher Leagues soon.

From now on I will leave every battle where I'm killed with hydra. I just left a battle where I have been killed by two hydra fktrds simultaneously. I felt really pieceful when I did this. I'm playing this game for fun, and hydra takes all fun out of this game. u said unfun killed by hydra..other player have fun counter kill using hydra (i do)..that is the reality in the game. and if u cant face that, keep leaving - get the LPQ - then uninstall completely

This just occurred to me, would a Fury with 3 Zenits be a good counter to a hydra? Seems like it might.

Before TDM came out, I was vehemently opposed to using hydras in any game format. After TDM came out, I was forced to rethink this. Hydras are NOT useful in domination, KOTH or beacon rush. In general, teammates who use hydras in those game modes are a net negative to your team because they're too passive and not doing enough damage to make enough of an impact. Well, TDM is horrible and hydra users make it even more horrible. Some TDM matches become hydrafest where both teams are pounding each other with hydra. When I see this I just press the leave button and get the hell out. Hydras are very effective in every mode, especially on open maps in lower leagues. I'm on diamond and there are a lot of people who have upgraded hydra to levels 12, 12mk2 at the expense of more useful stuff like orkans and tarans. And those hydras can wipe out an unshielded bot in 2 salvos, you can't even approach them and kill, especially when they are protected by teammates who also use hydra or zeus. I don't run any shielded bots so there have been situations when I'm pounded by hydra all game and can't do anything, because when I leave cover my bot is as good as dead, so score lowest damage on my team and hydra jerk in enemy team scores top damage. They are crap in FFA. Insta kill

To counter Hydra, I only use Specter-Hydra when my bots died from the same weapon.

Hydra users are lowest form of life. They are cowards. They know that they are protected by teammates and the target can not fire back. They choose this weapon because they are afraid to establish a line of sight contact with the enemy. Worse than ST, treb, flux and zeus guys.

LOL. You guys whining about hydras are idiots. They’re pretty much the only viable 600m F2P option. If all these BS mid and long range money weapons weren’t so OP at keeping brawlers in check nobody would use hydras.
Also, now there’s a vid link up in game about how to avoid hydras. Coincidence? I don’t think so

I really don't understand, what is the purpose of hydra spamming? Why would anybody do that? I watched Manni's video where he hydra spamms using spectre. He says he is having so much fun doing it. Well, this is a very sick way of having fun if you ask me. In another video he kills a spydra griffin and says it is a stupid setup, but he is running a hydra spectre on his account himself. I don't see any logic here. Would like to hear an answer from an avid hydra user why are they doing it??? Spectre = Annoyingly OP Hydras = Most Annoying weapon ever

This morning I had a TDM game on dead city. A red Grif hydra was doing really well taking out my team. Jumped among his teammates to get the angle whenever he can. Score was 8 to 15 when he jumped near a blue spawn. I spawned in my ember inquisitor and took him out, even though he was standing between 4 other reds. He respawned in a Haechi hydra and focused on me the rest of the game, I have 2 inquisitors, a bulgasari, a pursuer and a hover. I spawned the rest of the game at the farthest spawn and just stand there to be taken out by hydras. So to all of you saying you use hydras to take out shocktrain spectres, or any other hated bots, I don't believe you. This is your psyche and game play you are looking for. For me, its not the game play I want to participate so you are welcome to your free silver. feel free to take me out. If you don't play with hydras and want to brawl, I'll return fire and give you the game you want. That's your choice to give up and stand there and take the missiles. And yes, I took out a Spectre this morning in Valley. The guy insisted on wasting his descend to try to take out a blue Inky. After his stealth wore off, I pummeled him to oblivion. This game is way out of balance, true. But you are complaining about a weapon that has been in War Robots since the dawn of time. There are lots of documented methods to avoid homing missiles, and while no method is 100% effective - especially against someone like me who will arc the missiles in both directions - but they will help you escape a full salvo. I've even given tips on this thread on how to counter the homing missile. Read them, practice them. Above all, don't walk out in the open, or just stand around like a lump of metal and give up. That's akin to tanking. For me, hydra is the most annoying weapon ever

Bored of the same ?dookie?. Thing is, Hydra users must be annoyed to all hell with Anciles. If they aren't, they're fine losers.
My last bot to build was Hydra Doc, it's actually a nice change of pace. But I'll be damned of I stick around too long poking anciles <.<
PS my main hangar has 3 anciles, I love that cushion.

Man people that use anciles really suck and are psychopaths. They just walk around invincible with their impenetrable shield whilst I hug walls all game in fear of getting bombarded by more sucky psychopaths with their hydra missiles. Man so unsportsman like.

You sound like the type of guy us Hydra users make rage quit. I make people rage quit on a weekly basis. All I have to say is to each their own.

Chimera and Hydras on a Falcone work really well too. Not as much flight time as a Hover, but the lower jump also means less exposure.

because they are scared of the META Scared? Hydras are part of the meta right now. They are a great answer to Spectres with Shocktrains, and there is a lack of Ancile shields at the top. No, hydras are not the META, they are the counter to the META. Until an Invader bot drops into the field and unloades chunks of lead in your 「bum-bum」 while he laughs at your pathetic 4x orkan spectre.

Nothing worse than intentionally quitting a game when you have teammates. Also, doesn't that put you with the rest of the tankers? LOL very dumb

It's easy to outsmart you fools with my spydra. My team could be losing a domination match and I can get three or four reds to throw strategy out the window and chase me across the map as they get blown up one by one. It's even better when they get flanked as they come my way. All I have to do is get in close proximity of a red beacon with my hydras and you idiots complaining are the same ones blowing it for your team. You players shouldn't be talking 「dookie」 when your getting outplayed or quitting. It is fair play!
The people complaining are unsophisticated and get outsmarted all the time. The other day I threw away a list of about ten players I made quit. I'm going to start another list and call out you quitters because there is nothing worse in the game than tankers and crybaby quitters.

Guess I will chime in, although I may hang myself later for getting in on this thread.. Personally.. I hate Shocktrains more than any other weapon in the game.. Hydra and Spirals have their place as they are a viable counter to ST builds.. as you get into Diamond2 and Diamond 3, Expert and beyond Spectre ST builds are the norm.. And unless you have a few hundred bucks to spare, you don't have one.. But if you keep a Hydra Bulg, Hydra/Spiral Griff, Spiral Patton, ect.. keep one of those lvl-10 or above, you have an effective counter to Shocktrain builds.. Myself, I keep a Bulg-Hydra and a Griff Spiral/Hydra in my closet... when I start encountering a lot of Spectre Shocktrain builds.. I will drop them into my active #2 hanger... In your expanded colorful vocabulary I would be the lowest of lows.. But PIXONIC made this mess and since I love the game I have to get in the mud with the rest y'all and use what is afforded to me and within my tight budget.. Yours Truly.. An occasional fktrd..

But leaving the match because it is terrible is not. I don't want to waste my time playing against cowards that hide behind wall and pound you with hydra afraid to fight. I know what kind of people you are. I have seen a lot of scm like you. If my teammates still want to participate in this meaningles crap match then it's their business.

I do use hydras, I have 4 of them and the plan is to max them out and put them on my only spectre. I also honestly and proudly admit that I take pleasure while hiding and firing towards helpless and panicked bots... well I have a laugh but people it’s just a game . Further more in modern Warfare misiles of any kind and especially the self guided ones are a must have in a competitive arsenal... That being said- I have to suggest that the point here is to have the right weaponary for the the right target. This is a war game we people play and within so many other weapons, the hydras do have righously their place among them. 3 lv 9 hydras and the 4th lv 1 on my lv 5 spectre and already in diamond 1 league I can create chaos and havoc!!!! Good times enjoy ftriends!!

Hydra users can not win by skill, so they use hydra. It's that simple. When dealing with ST it's the same. There are people who play in Champions League without using hydra and shocktrain, because they have skill to counter it without hydra, but you choose the easiest way that doesn't require skill.
