Just got the rhino up to level 7 with lvl 9 pinatas and orks. Having some issues with it and thinking about scrapping it. Its difficult to maneuver for one and getting frustrated with it. Wondering if i should level it up higher or just learn how to use the stupid thing. Any advise would be helpful.

Try adding Mags to it instead of pinatas. You're shooting yourself in the foot by going all rockets due to the long reloads

Rhino is one if not the hardest bot to master (took Adrian chong 2 weeks to master). A common mistake new rhino users do is treating the rhino like a Gareth/galahad/lancelot. You shouldn't be relying on your shield to knife fight. Condition yourself to think that the rhino's shield is only used for mobility. Will take you awhile to get used to it but you'll be a menace in the field when you master it.

Back in my day... we didn't have gareths, galahad, lancelots. Okay so it wasn't "back" in my day, but we still didn't have gareths, galahads, lancelots. Once you go in for a kill, commit to it. You can't back away like you can with a griffin. With the orks, try to get within 270 so the victim can't run away from your fire

I love my DB Rhino, its my most aggressive bot. You need to lead the rockets, especially if you or the target is moving. You need to anticipate his position, will be very hard to execute if you're lagging.

I love my DB Rhino, its my most aggressive bot. i wouldn't doubt that for a second, the rhino is pretty much the most aggressive bot in the game (as it charges forward with a very strong shield and pretty much unloads whenever it is in maximum range where possible.) even the lancelot is not as aggressive as a rhino

I too am a beginner rhino pilot but trying to get better. I also prefer traditional DB setup over the mag variation (hellfire?). Some things that's worked for me so far: 1. Plan your path before moving. It's bad at changing directions. And always think about what your next move would be. Acting impulsively or changing your mind mid-way often results in mistakes 2. Don't even think about moving backwards 3. Target the 1 red that's separated from the pack and attack one by one. Try to avoid getting near packs 4. When there's a red around the corner (i'm thinking DC or SZ map) wait for them to come to u, dont move forward yourself. As said above, rhinos have poor turning even with shield down

Wondering if i should level it up higher or just learn how to use the stupid thing. Any advise would be helpful. Whoa, hold your horses. It's one of the best set ups in the game. Eventually you'll be able to weave between dead city's columns to cap the right side beacon w/o lifting shield. So what difficulties are you having besides maneuvering it?

So what difficulties are you having besides maneuvering it? Well I think I over estimated the strength in the beginning and have started to be more careful. The bigger maps still give me trouble and the learning curve on driving is worse than expected. However I can kill about anything in my path which I love.

However I can kill about anything in my path which I love. Bigger maps are definitely hard to pilot, especially in the open. Even in bigger maps I would still get into places with more cover, and slowly moving from cover to cover.

5. Stay away from DB Griffins. This is true. I would not engage a DB griff especially if they have their jump online.

rhino is the best game option for a strategy: good speed, firepower, health and defense. i run 2 in my top hangar i manage a good experience in few weeks, you need to test it in uper tiers, where a bad step could be fatal, remind the shield it's only to charge and defend, use it only when you very need to run or dodge. we need validation on some builds of this final bots: eg Aphid/Orkan - Aphid/Taran - Pin/Taran

The limiting factor in that situation is teamwork, without support griffins can become sitting ducks to swarms.

The limiting factor in that situation is teamwork, without support griffins can become sitting ducks to swarms. the same is true for any other bot, however I actually think the DB griffin is one of the best bots for taking out multiple enemies within a close radius, as they can move in and out of cover quickly while also killing/severely wounding a red without taking fatal damage, and can then do the same for another incoming bot.

I disagree griffins i find are easy kills, I love it when I see them jumping all over the place. Just flank and wait for them to jump then pew pew as they are so squishy. It's all about timing and situation awareness, but thats just me...

Obviously they will crumble if taken by surprise, as they are generally the ones who are supposed to do the surprising, lol.

For Griffin's jump, only jump if you can confirm you can kill the target while you are still in air.
Other than that, only use it for survival, from rockets, aphids etc. Run away, survive to fight another day, is the way of the Griffin.

I should probably qualify my remark that this is very easy to do when I am platooning with my clan, our guys know what they are doing and know what I am going to do and engage the enemy griffins so I can do this manoeuvre.

The basics of piloting it: With the shield up you can only charge forward because it doesn't turn as quickly without the shield So the only times you should drop your shield is when you're are in distance to hit the enemies, or have to turn to go another direction Otherwise, if your mediums are reloading or you're charging for a beacon, keep that shield up
