Above is my current hanger and was hoping to get some direction on where to go as a new player. Been playing for about three weeks at this point and feel I could be doing better. I feel I'm going to get some crap about the two Cossacks I run but one thing I enjoy is capping beacons and they are usually good for 1-3 caps each and if I'm lucky a kill or two. (Still trying to perfect corner shooting.) Other than that they are pretty much cannon fodder but good for gold. My back up weapons that are shelved right now are 1x Punisher lv 3, 1x Punisher MK2 lv 6, 2x Tulumbas lv 5, 2x Molot lv 2, 3x Pinata lv 5, 3x Pin lv 5, & 1x Ecu lv 3. Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks is advance.

550+ victories in 3 weeks, curious. Anyway, welcome and here's some thoughts;
Swap out a Cossack for a Gareth, tey are fun beacon cappers.
Get magnums and put tarans on your griff.
Patton high level will unbalance your loadout somewhat, upgrade another and keep it to within a couple of levels of the rest of your crew
Rhinos are fun as beacon cap support team, or in my case I use them as wide beacon cap the middle support with tulums and pins!
That's my 2c enjoy the wars amigo

I used to run a 4 slot Cossack hanger which netted me a ton of wins because all I did was beacon cap with minimal damage because I was running MK2 Punishers. Then I got Patton and started working on him and the the Aphids. (Btw my ten day battle average is 832 currently, if that helps ease your concerns.)
Less than a week ago I dropped a decent investment into this game to get the 5th slot as well as some decent bots and power leveled them cause I'm the impatient type...Lol
It might have helped if I stated in my OP that I'm aiming for top tier as a goal. I don't really want to spend unnecessary resources on bots/weapons that I might never use again. (I'm not saying Magnums and Tarans are something I won't use cause they are pretty boss but the WSP required is a lot for some.)
Appeciate the advice shaktree and ty for the response.
Another question, from what I've gathered from this forum weapons levels seem to be more important than bot level. Is that accurate?

beacon cappers can be great additions to a team if they play well.
Another option instead of the cossack for capping would be a stalker. At higher levels they are even faster and with the stealth can last a long time if you play them smart.
If top tier is your gold, then ditch the Cossacks asap. Focus on Gareths or Stalkers(they both have their strengths and weaknesses) for capping. the Patton and Aphids will not be much help due to the recent Aphid nerf. Molots are also not viable.
Invest in Orkans for your Griffin. Use one Taran from your cossack (which you will ditch for your stalker/gareth) on your galahad.
Some suggestions made by me or others will also depend on your own personal play preferences and style. So experimenting will still be needed. As well as a LOT of patience as higher level upgrades are expensive and LONG.
As a general principle, try to ensure your bot levels are all close to each other and keep weapon levels 2 higher than your bot levels until you reach bot level 9.

Lol no we aren't going to give you crap. Beacon cappers are important for winning however a gareth or stalker would be better for higher tiers. And in gold tier and above it's better to not prioritize on beacon capping too much. If I were you, I'd get a taran for the galahad, tulus for the griffin and replace one of the beacon runners with a power runner e.g plasma gala

That Aphid Patton is very good. Put a Taran instead of a Punisher on the Galahad. Put Tulumbas instead of the Molots on the Griffin. The Cossack should become a Gareth or another Galahad ONLY if you have 4 Orkans. Get a Pinata Orkan Griffin to replace your other Cossack, Taran Magnum Griffin in the meantime while you save.

Ty for the advice so far, I do appreciate it. Swapped some weapons around and am liking the outcome from putting a Taran on my Galahad. Also swapped out the Molots with Tulumbas on my Griffin but not sure if I like it. (The reload times...) Now I have a list of new goals to accomplish such as the Orkans and new bots to replace my Cossacks. Will probably invest in a Stalker at some point but the WSP required is a current hindrance. Is the Gareth really a top tier bot? Reason I ask is they seem to die quickly when I play them however they are fast which is a good thing. @darkangel My Patton was what netted me my high score on Power plant. I almost fell out of my chair when it happened. Closest I've come since is 700k. Edit: Also any further advice or info is very much appreciated.

A Gareth is, by far, not a top tier bot. Fun bot to play with, but I'd never use it while squadding. A Galahad performs the Gareth's role better in most situations.
Yep, Aphid Pattons are deadly on PowerPlant.

Here is an update on what I did with my account. I'm liking it as it has been super fun to play. I'm thinking about getting all my weapons to level 9 before I do anything else. Ty for the help!

That looks nice! I noticed that you put Pins instead of Pinatas on that Griffin. You shouldn't mix up ranges and you might want to consider putting Pinatas.
