Your hangar is leagues better than what most people come here with.
Only thing I might recommend is replacing that PDB Griff with either a PDB Rhino or a Plasma Galahad.

For me this looks like a good start. I definitely would bring all weapons to level 9 as my first priority. Then bring your bots up next. Seems you have matched your weapons well and have started to develop your preferred style of fighting.
I am sure others will offer their opinions also, but I like where you are going with this. My kind of hangar.
Good job so far.
Good battles and good fortunes

I actually have something very similar. The only difference is instead of a pdb Griffin and db Rhino it's a thunder orkan Lance and pdb rhino (which will change to a db Rhino eventially). And since I was planning to do the same I concur, get weaps to Lvl 9 and then bots to the same.

Looks good, my levels and bots are close to yours, working towards 7/9. I suspect your plasma griffin is very hit and miss like my plasma rhino. I don't have aphids, currently using a thunder carnage which isn't that great for open maps but does excel in tight maps. I prefer orkans on my griffin and am saving up to get a plasma Lancelot to replace rhino. When I farm up another 2400 gold, I will replace carnage with orkan rhino.

If his hangar is a 'good start', I'm scared to see what people would say about my hangar XP

Any suggestions what I should change or keep? Hmm don't see the add pictures option lol This hangar is not bad. What bots do you feel are not performing? IMO, you have 2 bots that can potentally can either be low performers and/or that can get trounced by a Plasmahad or PDB Griffin --- and those 2 are the RDB Griffin and the Quad Aphid Patton. Pick one of these bots, the other can be repurposed or retired. Having 2 of them will lead to matches were you potentally have only 3 bots cause those 2 get crushed or cant hold up theirs end in damage dealt. One minor damage - I'd use a Griffin as the DB setup rather than the Rhino. The DB Rhino is generally a one way ticket kinda bot, as its can't usually retreat or even fire its main weapons under Assault mode. The DB Griffin has a higher survivability rate and it frequently can win a battle and move on to other targets. At the least, a Griff can draw rocket fire (just to jump away and evade it) - something that aids you teammates in no small amount.

# Team Alpha Strike Why did you consider quad aphid Patton an under-performing bot although I encounter many TT players with this setup. In most cases I chick the damage stats of players at the end of games and those making the highest damage use that combination and usually its their starter bot especially on tight maps.

Swap tarans and magnums (PDB) from griffin onto rhino, replacing them orkans and pinatas (DB) from rhino onto griffin.

I'd suggest OrkAphid Rhino or TarAphid Rhino - both setups work in tight spots and on the long maps where you can get a few Aphid shots in before actual line of sight occurs (i.e., Yamantau center beacon ramps or Springfield firing from dry riverbed). If you keep the PDB Griffin, then go OrkAphid Rhino. Choose the Rhino build that you feel gives you the best balance of plasma to splash in your overall hangar.

@team Alpha Strike, are you in [SWARM]? Because I think I met you in battle Yes, I am. You are the best Galahad player I've seen so far.

You are the best Galahad player I've seen so far. Thanks - it's due to movements and tactics learned from piloting a Thunder Schutze. I'm amazed many pilots on even the highest MM move their bots in basically straight paths when attacking or defending. Jinking your Galahad while firing is now a MUST with the Gal shield nerf, as that shield lasts noticeably less seconds in front of plasma - and jinking to cause a miss gives you back those lost seconds. The Plasma Gal can kill even fellow shield bots you jink while firing or engage at distances that negate splash damage weapons. The Gal also corner shoots (its just okay at it, but every little bit counts) - which is very effective against the new Ancilot/Taran builds since the Lance can only hit you with 1 of its Tarans even if you expose all 3 of your weapons past the corner (the Lance is SO wide it's Taran nearest the corner will it the corner). IMO, the Ancilot is a non-issue to a Plasma Gal since the Lancelot's shield was nerfed.

And, I thought the Galas shield was the same, it was only the Lance's that was changed? They just corrected the numbers for the Gala, but didn't actually nerf it as I understood it.

I do this know about the numbers - just that Lancelot center shield breaks easier under Plasma than before. The Galahad seems to not be able to trade fire with the PDB Griffin as long. Maybe it's a change to fix that Mag/Taran issue where they missed at the 300-350 ranges?? Whichever the case, I primarily break shields with Plasma and my shields are primarily broken by enemy plasma fire, so either change would have the same result where the physical shield seems to break sooner.

My Galahad never goes down because of a broken shield. You have to try to conserve your shield by cornershooting; a cornershooting Galahad's against a Plasma Griffin will only take damage from 1 Taran and 1 Magnum because of the angle.

My issue seems to be that as soon as I start moving too much, my thumb leaves the edge of the phone surface and I don't move at all. So I go for retreating at 340m and corner shooting whenever possible. I have had a galahad stand up to three or four reds at once and between retreating and corner shooting I can keep them fully occupied until help arrives. Retreat from any sort of DB. Even with the shield up if you are far enough back you won't take much damage.

My issue seems to be that as soon as I start moving too much, my thumb leaves the edge of the phone surface and I don't move at all. After you hit the fire button you have a couple of seconds to pick your finger up and place it anywhere on the screen to keep firing. Problem solved =)
