I'd like to hear what people are doing with the new hangar slots.
How has having another hangar changed your setup? What have you been playing lately that you wouldn't have if you only had a single hangar? Do you have a role for each hangar, such as long range and mid range? What impact do you think it's having on the game?

I mostly just look at the second hanger and ask myself questions like this—
If I had an extra billion Ag and an extra year, would I: (1) upgrade my current hanger to level 12 Mk2; or (2) upgrade a second hanger to level 12 Mk1?

Not at all. I have just 1 Rog, which I want basically in every game, so I can use only one hanger.
Might be most useful for players with just 3 slots, who really want to specialize. Except... Why would you buy extra hangar for 7500 Au, when you could buy 4th and 5th slot for just 6000 Au, or Ancilot for 6500 Au?

Im saving 7500, I do not see how a specialized hanger makes sense at all.
Domination vs. BR is a bit different. HOWEVER....
Every map requires a balanced hanger.
Its bad enough that folks run 3 range bots, but now they can choose to run a full range hanger. Not sure how this helps the game or the player.
none sense y'all. Save your gold and upgrade a balanced hanger. This is another ploy to drain players of resources to generate more revenue.

I am in a total state of confusion with my second hangar. I play all Dom mode, so I have tried to create a hangar for the smaller and medium maps, then use the second for the large maps. But even on the larger maps I want some knife fighters to go and get beacons.
So I mix and match, then substitute this bot for that bot, then change it all over again.
At the end of it all, I run hangar one with the same bots I have run for months for all maps. Then cuss my second and use it as a place holder for bots I am building.
?

I had the 7500 gold saved up from the Halloween event, so didn't feel like it was a huge drop for me. Especially since I already had a couple Lancelots and most weapons that I want at this point. I had extra Carnages, Griffons, a Patton and a Galahad that didn't see play as well, so now all of that I have room for. Mostly trying to upgrade my lesser played stuff to 9/9 while I save my gold for more Lancelots.
The grand plan is to have a primary hangar for most maps, and a secondary one for the longer maps. Canyon, Yamantao, and Springfield are difficult to play with my normal setup, so that's when I bring in team B.

I use it exclusively for my 6 pack hangar. I tried building 2 competitive hangars but I realized I was just watering down my lineup and would never really want more range in any game than the one I have.

I tried building 2 competitive hangars but I realized I was just watering down my lineup and would never really want more range in any game than the one I have. I'll never buy a second hangar, exactly for this reason. I didn't apply for one of the giveaways, either. If I was trying to field my best hangar I'd always want 3 of my robots on any map (2 Lance and Zeus Gekko Natty), and as I can't share them among hangar, that's that. But I'm not trying to field my best hangar anyway, because that road leads to high ExpertMaster for me, and playing there would very likely have me uninstall the game. So why try to gain advantage by adapting to maps, if you play a subpar hangar? |

Canyon, Yamantao, and Springfield are difficult to play with my normal setup, so that's when I bring in team B. My optimal long range hangar differs from my "normal" hangar in only one bot, as I would bring in one sniper or perhaps another Punisher build. But I do use "hybrid" setups, on FB a Scourge Bulgasari and a Tempest Natty. For example, my current "best" Android hangar is Tarancilot, Thorkalot, DB Griffin, Zeus Gekko Natty and Punisher Galahad. The Galahad is a compromise because it's shielded. If I could share bots across hangars I would replace the Galahad with an ADB Griffin for knife fighter maps and a sniper for long range maps. On FB it's even more complicated. I have a Scourgasari there, and would make that into an Orkan Bulgasari for knifer maps. |

Why waste 7500 Au on something that cannot be utilized in every match? I would rather spend it on an 6th slot that I can use every time out than on a hangar that I might use 40 % of the time.

I really didn't expect there to be such a negative response from so many people about this. Is there anyone having a positive experience from having multiple hangars?

I don't have it but I would think they would be useful.
(I don't have intentions to get orkans or any more gold bots)

Yep. 1 for normal play, 1 for 6/6 custom as mentioned above. I could almost field two viable hangars - but also as mentioned above it is watering down and duplicating what I have available. It would be using a magnum ancil leo instead of a tarancilot for example. |

I don't have one but I also play around ten different hangars so it would not help me much. If I did have one I think I would be standing with the League / Six Pack crowd.

It is not necessarily that I am negative about it. I fully appreciate the fact that I won one from the forum contest. It is more that after roughly 3 years of running a knife fighter hangar for every map I find myself in uncharted territory. My LR aspirations died quickly in the first few weeks of the game, when I found it to be so boring, that I would forget I was even in a match. So old dogs such as myself are finding it hard to learn a new trick. But as a placeholder for future builds I do find it useful, as I no longer have to search through a disorganized mess of a warehouse to find the bot I want for upgrades. Now I switch hangars and there it is, hit equip and get down to business. |

I'd like to hear what people are doing with the new hangar slots. It's just an expensive placeholder for the robots & weapons I don't use or are in behind upgrade plan. I have only one viable hangarline in use. Yes, I won it from give-away contest, but I'm not sure would I have saved Au to buy it in near future. What is good is, that I can manage my equipments little easily now like starting upgrades without need to browse full inventory. Most likely my hangar decks are going to be divided and built by game mode, DOM and BR. |

I only have 1 hangar. If I have 2 or more hangars I don't have bot to put in other hangars. Maybe just unleveled robots and weapons. (Bad English?)

I do not like how this multiple hangars work. And I don´t like the price, for me that´s much too expensive.
I have 12 bots leveled up to 9 (for max speed) or above. But I don´t have enough weapons to outfit them all at the same time. For example I have a Rhino and a Griffin, and only one set of plasma guns for them. If I could put a plasma griffin in hangar one and a plasma rhino in hangar two which uses the same weapons, it would be ok. But the way it is now, where I have to have a second set of weapons, that´s too much for me. With my 12 bots and my weapons, I could create three good hangar combinations, but only if I can use everything for each combination. I prefer to improve my favorite used equipment to upgrading more and more stuff which I might use someday. I have saved 7.5k gold so I could unlock a second hangar deck right now, but I think I save more and invest it into a Haechi first (I do not have any dash bot yet). I play war robots for a year and a half now, 100% f2p, I think a second hangar deck is as far away for me as the Lancelot was at my very first day.

Still work in progress as I barely have one mk2 maxed hangar, but once I get some extra tarans up to par I plan to divide it into two hangars for squadding; first one will be mostly bulgas (4 plasma and 1 shocktrain) for long maps and against top tier squads (as they almost all run 5 haechis) while the other hangar will be haechi/inquisitor - all orkan bots for short maps vs randoms.

I really didn't expect there to be such a negative response from so many people about this. Is there anyone having a positive experience from having multiple hangars? Having lineups for completely different purposes is probably easier with multiple hangars. 6-pack league thing for one. Tanking for another... Maybe at the very top challenge (DIESS hangar for competing, last generation meta hangar for challenge). In these cases, player probably knows beforehand which hangar they are going to use, so it's not more power, it's just convenience over having to switch bots and scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll the bot list to find the correct ones. |

I'd love to have one for convenience for my 6-pack bots. It's not worth the money to me for my champion bots as I've only got about 6, maybe seven I could work with that are max or near max. I'm much more inclined to use resources to move toward MkII than to get another hanger of maxed bots.
Long story short, I'd like to have one, but it would only be to make my life slightly easier, not necessarily so I'd be more competitive.

I have a hangar that I use most of the time, but occasionally on the same maps that he mentioned, as well as Dreadnought, you need your Zeus and Molots, The advantange of their longer range and limited ammunition is somewhat limited by all of the buildings, walls, and outcroppings, which can sometimes make them more of a hindrance than a help on maps such as Valley, Moon, and occasionally, Shenzhen. My second hangar isn't quite where I want it be yet, but hopefully will be in a couple of weeks. |

I am building a second hangar now for Springfield, Yamantau, and Canyon maps only.
Butch Trebs / Fury Tempest / and 3 x Shielded bots to take the long range hits marching across the map. Galahad, and 2 Rhino's. My main hangar is level 11/12 and this hangar needs work but it still effective even being lower leveled due to my added range on these maps.
