Quad MoloDoc: Will it work?

It does work, but there are so many Anciles and shields that I wouldn't consider then a good build (unless your focus is shredding Anciles which a Thunder Carnage / Punisher Gunships would do the job better)

Unfortunately, the Quick Draw Cooldown exceeds the Molot reload time(s). Making Molots a support weapon for the Doc.

Currently, the only weapons that benefit from the Quick Draw are Orkans and Tulumbas, as both their reload times are longer than the Cooldown. Since you can only use two weapons at a time, four Molots is counyer-productive.

Orkans are essentially useless, in my opinion, as their range is severely limited. Which is why I use Molot-Orkan as the primary and retained the Tulumbas' as secondary.

But if I go with Tulumbas/Orkans, won't I be wasting time waiting for my ammo to recharge instead of quick-draw?

"Jumping flowerpots". I'm going to have to remember that one.

Shame, Zeuses cost a pretty penny. I'll keep that build idea in mind, though.

You'll be "wasting time," regardless. The Cooldown is too long. You'll be out of the fight for 15 seconds, no matter which weapon you choose.

The Cooldown limits the WW Mecha to the point of handicapping it.

Bit to use your secondary weapons, you need to wait 15 seconds. This makes four Molots pointless because you can only use 2 per "Draw" so you would never need to " Draw."

If you don't want to play the meta, Tarans / Orkans was a fun build in test server.

>The downside to any Molot setup is that you'll get crunched by every Gareth that can get past your defenders (which they do quite often). Even Stalkers will kill you quite easily.

Ah, good thing the Doc's fairly swift. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be sure to keep an eye on those guys in the future.

>On small maps, a long range/long unload weapon is a liability and that means that half the maps are iffy for the Molot Doc.

Very fair point.

>Personally, I use the Orkan/Orkan or Orkan/Tulumbas versions of the Doc. Both versions can kill a Gareth or Galahad easily and Griffins under most circumstances. All 3 of these bots are typical round 1 bots and I use the rocket Doc to meet them.

Those Brit Bots ARE a juicy target, but I worry about the capacity of the Doc to withstand multiple blasts from their plasma cannons. Orkans have a range of 400 km, right?

Orkans have a range of 300m.  However, it depends on what you are shooting at really.  A 50KPH moving Gal has to be inside 125m if you want to hit them with at least 75% hit if they are aleardy backpedaling.  A Gareth had to be under 100m if you want to hit them in any meanfull way if they are already backpedaling.  A Rog is even harder to hit with Orkans, but thankfully the Rog probably gas Orkans too, so if they can hit you, you can hit them (and you can backpedal too).  That being said, you have to add a lot of lead if a target is moving left or right of you if that target is near 300m, so the closer you get the better the chances of a hit are.

Quad Trebs and Tri-Zeus Athena bane of any bot without a physical shield.  Fortunately, the Doc has no jump, Energy Shield bar, or easily recognizable silhouette, so it can easily get half way across maps without even taking a shot against it.  

I prefer the Ork/Tul combo because my targets are primarily the Galahad and Gareth in the first round.  I lead with my Tuls for the first 475-500m salvo inside the first 30 seconds of a match and then either wait for blue heavies to catch up (so I can go into the close support role) or simply go forward if the bot holding down the red beacon can be killed with a 102K full salvo of 2 L12 Orkans (its 36 rockets per weapon, as 4 extra missiles reloading during the firing).   If that bot is the Galahad or Gareth I just hit with 40K of Tul damage, then that bot is dead meat since corner shooting won't work and I'll be flipping that beacon if no other reds can get in the way.  This 2 distance setup works on the Doc simply because you can eliminate any bot that has HP under 140K in one full quad salvo if you have L12 weapons.  This is basically a DB setup but with more options to engage at longer distance and to control the enemy due to their hestitation to come closer ---- cause if they ain't an Ancile, it's going to hurt a lot.

The quad Tul Doc is a fierce beast, but at only 80K damage, a lot of pilots will take the risk to take you out.  However, once they see that Orkans back those Tuls, they can figure the math out and they'll just go on to an easier target ---- and they better figure it out quickly because the Tuls get close to reload every second they hesitate and I'll be hunting THEM once those Tuls are ready again.

The quad Orkan, I had less success with (although I do like the setup), as the Doc simply is in knifer range for too much time and there frequently no way to disengage to get time fior those Orkans to fully reload.
