What should I buy(Raven or Spectre)

Pretty sure the response will be overwhelmingly pro-Spec. It is a better bot in the current meta, no doubt.

Some may like the Raven more, and many prolly wish Spec was never released... but it's without question better than the Raven. Yes there are players that can fly the Raven like they were made for it. But they are the exception... most of what you see out there is Specs.


IMO, YMMV

I will post pic of hangar when I get back to Canada. I might want a db spec, but I only have 3 orkans..

Dont' see many ravens, they play a lot like griff's except with a 2nd jump.

They're kinda tricky you can't tell they're ravens a lot of times till they jump.. most pilots seem to think using the 2nd jump is mandatory.. They can cover a hell of a lot of ground but ultimately they're not a lot more of a threat then a griff.

Spec on the other hand is pretty predictable.. you know what to expect out of them.. but the same could be said for a rattle snake.. don't make them any less deadly.

Spec every day and twice on sunday.

Thus you requested comments on spending money on War Robots...  For me, spending a hundred (or whatever a Spectre goes for today) on a digital bot, which you will then have to wait for ages to upgrade, is insane, unless you are rather rich. There are like a hundred things I'd rather spend the money on, such as a handful of entire games from Steam, or a fairly fancy dinner for two in a decent restaurant, or save for a new phone/tablet/PC/console, which would give me far more gaming enjoyment than a single bot.

Note that you still need to upgrade the Spectre, and in current "new economy" I think (didn't check) that will take ages or cost more money...

Can be used for both, but primarily the jump is used for ambush.

A spec pilot will usually hit their jump once they start taking fire. in this case either to attack (provoked early) or to escape (often attempting pot shots while retreating)

You should save your jump when ever possible though.. if you come across a distracted target no need to hit your jump till you're threatened.

depending on weapon, target, and position some will use the jump simply to pop up out of cover to fire.. makes them almost impossible to hit in the air.

the Spec is a a fairly quick bot.. infact for the amount of fire power it has in the game it is hands down the fastest.
Typically you'll wanna retreat to cover once your hit the ground you have a short time of stealth.

If your target is not dead by then you're very likely to be killed without cover.. spec's can not stand up to fire.. a ork kumi can wipe out a spec in no time if left unchecked.

But spec's carry so much fire power targets are usually dead by the time you hit the ground assuming you landed your payload.

Spec's do not do good taking on groups of enemy's though.. 1on1 is their bread & butter.

You should really look at the numbers. For level 12 it will take you 2 months and 200 million silver. Even just to get it to 9 will take a month and 40 million. All that is assuming you have 4 leveled weapons for it already, the numbers are even crazier if you're leveling weapons as well. Acquisition of bots is no longer the primary obstacle to using them, upgrade times and costs are. In the new economy, what were previously overpriced bots are now just pointless to buy. I really don't mind dropping some cash on games but I find it difficult to rationalize with the current version of War Robots. Spending anything less than an absolute fortune seems pointless. In order to maximize their profits from whales they've put systems in place that really make it silly for anyone else to spend cash.

The Raven is actually significantly faster, and also has a shorter ability cooldown in addition to the second use.
