War Robots Snipe with Griffin with molots with trick place

I hate you with all the love, of course. The other most common loadout I've seen with this is Spirals & Hydras, incredibly annoying and TBH, effective enough.

Seeing as we are on the topic of people out in the middle of nowhere playing with themselves.. I wonder what language they speak over there... I think he was moon walking against the invisible boundary to top it all off.

First and foremost, that roof is pure trident bait. You can usually get an angle on it without exposing yourself to the center fire base two.

Secondly, molots. Why?

thanks bro,
        actually i tried that first time so was'nt sure if i can get that beacon from above   10 out 5 team i get don't care about beacons so i have always run from beacons in order to win, after started melting them they bothered looking up xd.
        

Well, you have time (i.e., that 60 gold per day), but I hear ya.
Still, the accuracy at 6-800 range is pretty tragic and once inside that range you get lit up. The midrange shooting gallery in Shenzen favors the tridents or even a RDB setup.

I'd honestly recommend flipping to full on RDB- it's a better build overall and will stay relevant all the way up.

I tried a Molot Galahad once. Immediately switched back to plasma setup because I felt it didn't do any damage. (Yeah, Griff has one Mk2 extra, but Galahad has the shield.)
Not sure if Trebs are better, but unless you're on Yama (which is the one wide open map where you might choose your distance) I don't think they're the answer to Trident Furys.

Again, I have other Midrange, including an RDB, and I choose the Carny Trident, but I try out everything I can, for my clan mates and for my own curiosity... All I was saying was that the Molot can serve a purpose.  In some cases, if leveled enough, can do a decent amount of good.  It's not a setup to derive an instant sneer.... I don't suppose I mentioned that on that same battle with the Fury, while I was keeping him pinned I managed to take out a Rhino that was shield up running down the walkway at our side beacon... took two clips, and a couple of shots from the Blues on the ground, but the majority was me.  I was surprised, tbh.  But I am not able to place it in the same category as Arty.  They actually did some good. 

Again, though, if you have something better... I would say use it... including an RDB.  But if Molots are all you have, or you are really good with a Griff and can employ them in good ways, it isn't a crap option.  6 Molots is pretty damned nice... again, if upgraded enough.

By the time you spend that much Ag to upgrade the Molots you could have purchased the RDB weaponry and upgraded it almost as far, at which point it's more than twice as useful for the same Ag that you spent anyhow.

OK, granted,  and to be absolutely clear, I never said otherwise.  And never said that they should be over the RDB in importance.  BUT, in this game there are tons of folks who just want to run certain weapons, and if they are at all effective, I will not say otherwise.  if someone has the mind set on Molots, and asks about them, I am going to tell them about them. 

If this was a thread about which was better, RDB or Molots, I would not have said Molots. 

Personally, I constantly switch up when running solo, to keep a bit of variety, and to be able to reliably answer questions from my experiences rather than just spouting off what others say as fact (which, btw, I am not saying that about you as I have no idea what you have or haven't tried and respect your insight and opinion.)  So, I have Molots leveled enough to use, as well as Tulus and CRVs.  And Tridents, and Zeus for that matter... but the talk had gotten in to Molots, so rather than just say 'don't use them they suck', I gave examples of when they seemed to be the answer to the problem on our game.  If I had had my trusty Trident Carny, I may have been able to do differently to that Fury, but I may not have.  It would have been very hard to avoid his fire while hitting him the way we were positioned, but as soon as he started getting pinged by the Molots, he backed back into cover without firing a shot.  So, again, just another side of it, not an endorsement of Molots for Weapons of the Year.

I'm all for mixing it up, although at this point the silver crunch is becoming so real that my options are starting to evaporate. I'll mix it up... as long as it's still effective.

The point is, given it's an all silver setup either way,  you're best off learning to use the effective settups.

Don't do it! Stay strong!

If you absolutely have to throw real money at the silver problem, spend the 5/10 bucks on premium. Lord knows I'm considering it.  I've got slightly under a week of 2 mil and under bot upgrades and then I'm going to see some *problems*.

This is why I wanted to be able to work on a 6/8 all mediums no penalty bots hange. 2x boas, 2x Rogs, 1x CRV Patton was gonna be awesome. =\

Nice! Talk about bacon saved.

Mathing out my farming, I'll be back up to 40 million by the time this Plasmahad upgrade to l8 completes (the bot, the weapons are 11/11/8 because that's where my silver went in the first place). From there I have 16 hours of taking Piñatas up to l6 ((I have a l8 Griff I need to replace my Rog with, and the only spare Orkans are my Rog's l10s) and a Rhino and Carnage to bring up to l8 for a total of ~4 mill spent over 4 days and 12 hours and then everything will cost more than I can reasonably farm during the time it takes to upgrade (rather than less).

I should probably just cave and buy premium now. 44-46 million isn't going to get me far.

I caved and bought it.

Considering that I just spent $10 in the iTunes Store for the Pearl Jam album Binaural, a cd that I not only own but can see from where I am sitting right now, the $10 price point seems entirely fair.

That be said, here's the rush: I cannot bear the thought of spending time *not upgrading* anything and I was going to either be resorting to that or upgrading things that I maybe wanted later up to l7, which would be either wasted upgrade or a commitment to spending the silvernon taking *that* up to, say, l10 later anyways (which puts farther debt into the ledger).



Also: doesn't everyone else map out the costs? It's the only way to know what to expect. Budgeting is life!

The plan was always to join the wiki clan once I had the hanger specs for it, although any sort of communication and squadding would probably be nice.

I don't plan more than 3 upgrades out, but I have enough irons in the fire to make that work. I'm also working 4x10s these days, so between 3 breaks+a lunch and 3 days off I can usually fit it in- but again, that's because I've usually got 3 upgrade tracks running in parallel (which does mean that I buy redundant items- in the old MM you'd frequently want to have 2 rhinos jump up in level concurrently, etc.). I will totally set an alarm to wake up when the rare occasion when a 6 am upgrade completion that has to happen crops up.

None of my ag budget accounted for premium and I'm waiting to recalc the budget until after my Rhino and Carnage finish their (relatively cheap) upgrades to l8. Watching something jump towards the black like that feels good, and since that's the boundary where everything gets so darn expensive it seems like the right occasion for a pick-me-up.




As far as Carnages go, I'm always in it to optimize for a specific role. 2x trident is so useful on Canyon and Shenzen as it is, and the "poor man's Fury" factor in Springfield and Yam still works. It's definitely not capable of doing much to an Ancelot, but against flanking Gary's/Plasmahads it's arguably better than a fury since the odds of you being able to *take the shot* are so much higher. If I progress to adding an RDB (hard, since it'd probably eat a slot I reserve for Orkans) I'll flip to Zues almost immediately. I suppose it really depends on how much the meta shifts towards Ancelots- being able to flank and chip with Zues will be really important if I start seeing them very match - if they become a constant then Zues are called for, if they become a flood then thunders are going to have to hit my lineup *yesterday*.
