Want proof you don't need a 5th slot to kick 「bum-bum」? Diamond in under 200 matches with just 3 slots. Check out my bad「bum-bum」 bots. It's not amazin', it's Amazon.

This player is in the regular Android servers. I am not making this up. Any clan daddy or mamma can look this player up. They are proof positive that not even 3rd slots are needed to rise through those ridiculous "league" rankings. It doesn't hurt that their equipment is strong but the question is, is it strong enough? Or should the question be, was it luck or actual skill?

Spydras for around 400-500k damage and Tamags all the way for the rest of it! He must have a chuck ton of gold too!

The PDB is there to avenge some annoyed red that made his way across the field to kill him. Not surprised being on android.

Heck, I'd pay (or save) for 6 slots! By the time you add some long-range and mid-range and a capper and a few brawlers, 5 is not a lot.

I don't care how good you are with your 3 or 4 slot hangar. I win games in my first, second, third or fourth bot too. A lot. It's when the boys go home crying and the men need to get down to work that I NEED my teammates to have that fifth slot. That fifth slot saves the hard games, the games where everyone is gassed and badly damaged last bots are stumbling about with gritted teeth and grunts of agony to make their opponent give up the freaking ghost. Die, already, DIE.
As Frank Miller wrote in his Six Word Story: With bloody hands I say goodbye.
You remember that American soldier in Saving Private Ryan? The one shushed as the knife slowly so slowly slid in? Four bot hangar. You remember Deckard from Bladerunner? Hanging exhausted from the building as Roy Batty talks to him? Four bot hangar. You remember the Jedi Knights slaughtered by Darth Sideous in Revenge of the Sith? Two bot hangars. Maybe three. Darth Sideous himself? Four bot hangar. Mace Windu? FIVE BOTS BABY. It's just Anakin was a filthy tanker. THINK OF THE YOUNGLINGS, ANAKIN, YOU FILTHY TANKER!!!!
Where was I? Oh, yeah...
You remember Apollo Creed from Rocky? Both five bot hangars! That's how a match is supposed to go! THAT'S A FIVE BOT HANGAR DOWN TO THE WIRE MATCH RIGHT THERE!
Get the damned fifth slot. When it's needed, it's needed, and no amount of 'look at where I am in the leagues!' is ever, ever going to change that.

I don't know about others but I am getting totally fed up with pilots with hangars of 3 or 4 high level/maxed out bots. Lately I have been in a number of matches where blue were well on top beacon wise then all of a sudden we are down to 3 vs 6 bots because pilots have meched out. After eventually losing the game (usually as last man standing against 6 reds) I check the team scores to find everyone on blue team is running hangars of 3 or 4 high level bots versus reds all with hangars of 4 or 5. Getting that 5th slot should be made compulsory or something. I do not have any gold bots. Mine are all silver or wsp bots with level 7 or 8 weapons. I spent weeks grinding away to get that 5th slot whilst others obviously spent their gold on bots. Come on people, surely that 5th slot is the most important purchase! What do others think? Well, the issue is that it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get 5000 Au, and people have jobs and families. I don't have any gold bots or weapons, and because of my Lvl 6-8 hangar and being in Gold II, get clubbed...often. Initially, I spent gold on upgrade speedups (because wi-fi is only available at work/school, and cramming numerous upgrades into that specific window was a good tradeoff), but I wait out all upgrades now. I'm just at 2000+ gold, but the fall semester (engineering, War Robots drops to bottom priority) is starting next week, and I'll have a maxed 4 slot hangar loooong before I earn enough gold to buy the fifth. I've adopted CoD tactics to survive longer... The daily challenges take awhile to do with a Lvl 6-8 hangar. Having another slot might make a small difference, but hardly a game changer. That fifth bot will be squishy anyways...a 4 Cossack/2 Molots? Got a flyswatter? Better to focus on that 6 Grif with the 7/5/5/3 Punishers. I always seem to attract reds running 10 and above hangars from knifers to snipers, who chew me up in a single cycle without reload. Yes, a 5th slot would be nice. Yes, it costs me a lot of matches. No, I still get blended by OP reds regardless of tactics, so it doesn't make a huge difference. Only bot I could put there right now is a 6 Leo I got in the summer event packing an 8 Thunder/5 Aphid/6 Pinatas...which is still too immature to avoid being someone's lunch. I have only one Gekko and Aphid (both free from event), and don't do those wacky hybrid builds. (Like a Griffin with a Taran/Tulus/Orkan/Gekko setup I saw today) In summary, if you see someone with only 3-4 bots, it could be the result of not having enough time or a strong enough hangar to have a large pot 'o gold.

Raised from the dead because somehow a lotta people missed the memo. No reason anyone should be in D2+ without 5 bots. Do you know what's worse than only having 4 slots though? Being in D3 with only 3 Of course, worse than that is being in E3 (yes, that's EXPERT) with only 4. And I don't give a ?poo-poo? how many Orkans that dude has. If all 4 of his bots were maxed Ancilots, I'd still rather have five 9/9 Griffs on my team. Yet, the most annoying I've seen today (yes this is just from games I played today), is being in E3 with only 4 slots because this douchebag decided to buy paint jobs instead. His skins certainly didn't help my team win but at least they gave us something pretty to look at! ....Oh wait, I didn't actually get a chance to see them before he meched out.
