Just wanted to share a vid (solo) of a recent battle - BR - Moon. The technique I'm trying to apply is trolling/flanking the reds to come to the blue-right beacon, freeing my teammates to gain a numerical advantage elsewhere. I've been doing this for over a year, and most of the time, I can manage to get at least 2 or more bots to take the bait. This builds nice momentum, which I try to sustain by spawning in at center, and attacking their home as well as their (red) right beacon. Attack, reload, health, speed boosters on. Snorting PCs like a junkie, no Au modules. I think my fellow Hover pilots schrotter Old-Cat might appreciate this. Btw, most maps have similar places where I can use cover and elevation to troll reds away from what otherwise might be contributing to their victory. Ha ha ha  Tune is China Boy (jazz standard from the pre-jazz/recorded music era), 50s recording @ Capital Records studio in Las Angeles, covered by Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West...great guitar pickers! Wow, I dont feel so bad now! My L9 strider lasts just as long as yours did. And here I thought the ogre team was invincible in their speed machines. You guys are human after all.. Love your strategy with hover. Mine is L11MK2 and is usually mine first out the door, until my strider grew up. No, im not trying to be a p art of your strider boy band, just trying to add relevant content to a thread. Gday buddy Thanks. It's actually "Team Orgy", or at least, that's what Pixonic's customer support calls him. |

Recorded yesterday (28 Feb 19) during Champions League qualification. For those not yet in Champions League, all Champions League pilots get their cups reset to 5000 and must play 5 games without losing cups. This was game 5/5, and it was a nice come from behind slugfest. Thanks to all 11 other pilots for this match Thanks elttaes for the music idea, placed toward the end when I was in Hover Don't play Hover in Champions League though, advert-kickback YouTuber(s) say its no good. Music: (the awesome) Rev. Horton Heat: Bails of Cocaine, Aw The Humanity (the awesome) Boots Randolph: Yakety Sax |

Thanks, going from "the ?dookie?-is-hitting the fan" to a win at the end is always a great match to be in. Kudos to my 5 blue teammates for not losing their cool, and plugging away. Even though the reds dominated much of the match (beacons, beacon bar etc.), in the end, I believe that is was their "zero damage/zero beacon pilot" that did them in, in all honesty. |

Fantastic! When you went up around the side structures in your Hover, I thought for sure you were going to land in the water. Not only did you nail the landing on the _railing_, you did it TWICE!
...and the music was awesome!

Not only did you nail the landing on the _railing_, you did it TWICE! ...and the music was awesome! I’ve flown off that ship more times than I can count. But there is some control of in-air navigation so I just counter nav if I think I’m getting too far. The intent is to get line of sight with Scourge/Shredder, but the reds went from Leroy Jenkins the first 5 minutes to shivering in the corner the last few. Hover, I’ve learned is a very bad early drop on Carrier, as it just doesn’t have the firepower or Phil’s magic wand special powers to be that effective with so much cover and such a narrow play field. Saying that, in the closing minutes, it can have a good support and even a lead roll. Since there is so much good cover on this map, Scoruge Hover has to drill and drill and drill some more to contribute. Like Yam, Carrier requires, IMO, good teamwork and sacrifice. Def not a map I look forward to, however, like Yam, it is very satisfying to get any win there. To be clear, the reds would have won if their 6th pilot didn’t get a phone call, tank, or whatever happened. Thanks for your kind words and comments. Cheers! |

Actually, carrier is one of my favourite maps. I think either today or yesterday, all 6 team mates reached the reds home base, clearing all the reds along the way and capturing the last beacon. Very satisfying, it's like a football match.
Do you think the Hover would be any good sitting on the big fans outside the carrier?

Do you think the Hover would be any good sitting on the big fans outside the carrier? Near the red home spawn, possibly. I’ll make it a point to try this.... Near the blue home spawn, probably not. If you’re getting pushed back that much to where to need to go the these fans, it’s only going to prolong the inevitable, imo. |
