Noods is cool AF It will take at least 500 PT to get it off the ground Hull 8 and only Core from there for starters. I have the Pt, but was going to use it for a Minge. Decisions decisions. Those 4 guns though, lol, Actually, the Min has 4 too

I only hit Champs two days ago. Didn't realise the booster was a 5 day one. Wow!
Sadly I got to Champs just in time to miss out on Ravana comps. Oh well, got too much other stuff to level anyway.

. I NEVER clubbed ONCE, EVER. Me either, it was always too dark. And loud. And.... wait a minute, are we talking about the same thing? I never tanked either . But hell, I've BEEN clubbed. Actually, I don't even know what my win rate is. I think about 38% last time I checked. About a month ago. I was still using the all the dash bots. Kumiho, you're next on the chopping block!

3) If you see a Phantom capture a beacon and they’re barely taking any damage, they have Invulnerable Raider and it is better, if possible, to withdraw from their direct line of fire until 30s has passed from them capping the beacon. Aha, that explains a lot. I just looked it up. Most of the time I come up against them it's rushing the CB. I get beaten TO it, then I get beaten AT it. The good old pilot skills. See, I remember you could math it out. Up against a 100K HP bot with 4 x 25K weapons? No problem. Now you can have pilot skills, modules, boosters, team boosters. You don't know what you're shooting at. That 100K bot could be equivalent to 200K. Thanks for the info. I'll be using that as a reference guide in a few more days, lol.

Haha, yes. An old school bot that one for sure. Which was still common when I started. One on one invincible. Sometimes. But I do get a bit fool hardy and try to take on two or three. Then it's not so invincible what do you run on it? Fully maxed avenger Mk2. The only other Mk2 wep I have is an Ember on the Jun. Chews em up pretty good, but oh! the reload! You need T-Falc just to survive a reload

I just won Noodles (would have preferred nearly anything else), and put him (her?) in my B Hanger. The long range hanger. The not used very much hanger. Arthur is in the A Hanger Which sends Kid to the C Hanger. The upgrade/recently retired hanger. But he seems so happy about it: Take Noodles out for a spin. You might enjoy it. I was planning on switching back to Arthur, but I've decided to level Noodles instead. You know what. I might just do that. Better swap my Plated armour/Antimatter modules over first.

The 1st amendment protects you from censorship by the government and government owned entities. Idk who even runs this board but I’m pretty sure it’s not the US govt. You are free to congregate and have a tanking rally on your own forum. If anyone needs a refresher the 1st amendment is RAPPS. Right to Religion, Assembly, Petition, Press, and Speech. I think the problem lies with everyone thinking my post supported tanking. I DO NOT SUPPORT TANKING. OMG I said tanking. My post (whose content was conveniently deleted, but not the title) was about having to deal with Pix's MM system. Get pwned enough and you drop a league. Or two. Which isn't tanking. The system is designed to let you win, but not too much. It's just something most of us know about. The OP played L6 equipment. Probably not as experience as many of us. I was explaining that you just need to bash it out. Accept that you won't win most.

Yes, the outer two weapons (and the jump ability) are negated. Which I find was useless anyway unless you are not brawling. A Falcon using 3 weapons is one waiting to be quickly killed. Unless they are sniping with trebs, which can be really effective. And annoying. So basically the t falcon is the invinicible shutze Haha, yes. An old school bot that one for sure. Which was still common when I started. One on one invincible. Sometimes. But I do get a bit fool hardy and try to take on two or three. Then it's not so invincible

It's like shooting at a T-Falc sometimes. I've nearly finished on in the WS but how are they not dying when I go up against them? What are you shooting them with? If you're not using lockon weapons, Phantom's speed, durability, and ?fluffernutter?ed to death hitbox in combination with persistant lag will make you miss a lot with Avengers and Plasma weapons. Yeah OK, If it's my dash usually Tarans. But they seem to be unkillable with most everything. Never thought of the Red Team boost stacking though. Mostly all the unkillable ones run last stand, but they seem to be hard to even get down to the trigger point. Thought it must be some special pilot skill, but I guess if you use every armour trick in the book that will work

Most run BB's plus with DR and with a small hitbox makes it a tough kill. For the tougher S-Clan dudes, bots have a shelf life anyway so as long as they get that first beacon, especially in BR ... that's all that matters. No matter matter what they are running ... Strider with double DR and full cryo will knife fight with one and bring him to Last Stand, well leveled will get me because I don't run Last Stand ... Ares with Scourge/Spark + Retribution will bring them to Last Stand if I'm close ... and Suppress & land full Cryo Nightingale will take them. Make sure the blue DR is out at the top, much easier to take down when your weapons are doing full damage. Traditionalist pilot skill Falcon ... no fangs out, but have 50% more health. so only 1 heavy slot? Yes, the outer two weapons (and the jump ability) are negated. Which I find was useless anyway unless you are not brawling. A Falcon using 3 weapons is one waiting to be quickly killed. Unless they are sniping with trebs, which can be really effective. And annoying.

So, FaintyDragon talked about tanking (which is bad, I think we can all agree on this).
He wanted to know how to get to a lower league, not for "whale tanking" purposes. But so he would not be getting killed every two seconds.
We all know that tanking (WHICH IS BAD M'KAY) is used to "seal club" and farm silver by less-than-ethical players.
His original post was locked. My reply post was meant to be informative, and explain that getting smashed is just part of the game. Example. My last three games (which I played since that post) has been our team getting spawn raided and obliterated in 90 seconds. Literally 90 seconds. My thread was not to promote tanking, but to try to educate a newer player that the MM and League Levels are just part of the system, and it will level you out where you need to be.
Problem is, some; A- power hungry mod B- pimply faced kid on a power trip C- Some armchair warrior accountant who has never put themselves in peril D- all of the above,
thought it best to delete all my carefully chosen words. Which is a funny thing, seeing as most of the Mods are from the USA, which is Land of The Free. I mean the word freedom is bandied about all over the place. Patriotism is high. Their damn fire engines are flying the Stars & Stripes for goodness sake. In over thirty years in uniform I have never seen an Australian military or first responder vehicle flying a flag. And yet, here we are on this forum, displaying a level of censorship that appears more communistic than democratic.
Everyone here loves War Robots. Most everyone hates it being monetised. So people biatch about Pix. It lets off steam. It's not trolling. It's not hateful. It's not a personal attack.
Censoring reasonable freedom of speech is a personal attack. Did my post get reported by offended readers? Doubtful. Did some power tripper want to throw his weight around? Almost certainly.
So is that a personal attack against the mods? No, it's a retaliation. Different thing. Self defence really. Another big thing in the USA I might add.
So we've had a few very prominent members leave of late. Because they stopped playing? Evidently not. Were they getting personally attacked by trolls? Doubtful, this forum doesn't appear to have many. The only other answer is management. Or mismanagement.
I did my trade. Joined the Army. Spent over 20 years in the Paramedics. Did a tour of the Gulf. I have put myself in peril about a million times to protect democracy, and those people that follow it.
So I'll be god-dammed if some 「fluffernutter」ing power 「fluffernutter」ing tripping 「fluffernutter」ing moderator wants to censor me without even giving me common 「fluffernutter」ing decency of a few words in private. Or public. It's piss weak. It's not leading your troops.
I fully expect this thread to magically disappear as well. Just like about 20 million Chinese. Oh, but they only had a few thousand Covid 19 deaths didn't they? But mysteriously, over 21 million phone accounts disappeared. Interesting. Can't say anything bad about the government or you disappear. Prove to me that this isn't the case here. Bother to reply. Make a useful argument.
My time here has always been to knowledge share, and lighten up the whiners with some sarcastic and witty retorts (black humour sometimes, it's a Para thing).
That is all.

It's like shooting at a T-Falc sometimes. I've nearly finished on in the WS but how are they not dying when I go up against them? What is a t-falc? Is it a thunder falcon? Traditionalist Falcon. It's a pilot skill that gives you 50% more durability. Makes them like a tank. It's the new-school Ancilot

I don't want to sound like a whiner, as I run freeze rockets myself... But they are OP...like WAY OP... There is no logical reason for a weapon to be more powerful than a similar weapon that is many levels higher than it...in game mechanics...as a PTW scheme it makes sense. PINATAS, ORKANS and EXODUS should be able to compete in alpha damage and reload speed...but they can't with this mechanic. My level 9 RIMES do more damage than level 12 TARANS... That's just wrong. Like I said...I run them too...but I don't pretend it's supposed to be like that. I know. The Rimes are more powerful than Orkans. The Glacier beat the Exodus by around 50%, AND it has freeze. It's crazy! I am levelling my Blitz/Rime and it's a mini powerhouse. Not sure about the Glacier yet.

You need to be within range, or near to it, before you launch. That way you don't waste time in the air getting to the target.
Try to stay in cover until you are ready to fly.
Once you are in the air you need to be thinking about a landing site and not get too focussed on hitting the target.
If you can pop straight up and get effect on target that will work. Once you have used it enough times you get used to how long it will fly for.
I run Embers on mine, so the flight time and the weapon time are very similar.

One level a day - for the final 10 or so, requires around 1,900 OXP. You get 300 free (ads) and another 100 free (ads). Play a few games and you trigger another 150 free - so 550 free a day. That only leaves a few sessions to complete the level for that day. Figure out if there are any days in the next (10) that you know you can't put the time in (I struggle at weekends due to kids/family), and adjust the daily amount accordingly. One extra good game can be a hundred or two extra OXP. Also, at the start of each new operation, use a spreadsheet to calculate how much OXP you need a day to complete it (or get as far as you want). There are threads on the forum that have the numbers per level. 5 mins maths and you're good to go. Good luck! This operation differs in that each individual level raised the required OXP to complete. Rather than L 1-10 needing X, and then 10-20 needing Y. So if there's 40 levels, level 20 is not half way. If you are getting one lebel a day at 30 you wont get the same at level 38 unless you play more.

If you mech out a lot, then yes a fifth slot is a must-do.
Some players don't get past 3 mechs though. Depends on play style.
If you like brawling you can sometimes run out of bot before you run out of time.

The saddest part about this is that the rest of the team were probably:
A- Halfway across the map all crowding a different beacon B- Sniping from afar, or using rockets. From afar. C- Ignoring the beacons totally and charging the enemy in some sort on WW1 tactic D- Hiding E- all of the above

Does the OP means Cryos proper, or freeze rockets in general?
Either way, I've looked at the numbers on these things.
The Rime is basically an Orkan with freeze. Except more powerful than the Ork was. I am levelling 4 on the Blitz and it they are impressive even averaging level 4.
The Cryo does nearly as much damage as the Taran, but in half the time. Or about 85% of the damage of an Exodus, but with freeze.
The Glacier is even more. 4 times a Dragoon, more than a Redeemer, and nearly 90% of an Ember in half the time, with freeze and 50m less range.
Give it a year or so and these new Freeze Rockets with be replaced by the even more powerful Burn Rockets, that set your bot on fire and blind you with the smoke. Mark my words.
After checking the damage outputs, I seriously need to replace my Exodus/Orkan Inquisitor. It's like a one shot bot nowadays. And the Orkans are about as useful as feather dusters

If you want to use the F word, just spell it out. So like: If you see Kaye....tell her I said Hi! OK, on a more serious note (well actually, no it isn't): If it was REALLY a disguise unit, it would turn your Arthur into a Mag Gep, but with the same HP and firepower as the Arthur. THAT would be a disguise unit. Someone would think they can get to you with their guns at 400m and they get toasted. What it is, is a cloaking unit, or stealth unit.
