So I reckon I must be doing it wrong?
Have had a falcon in a mid range role for a while, Viper & two Dragoons (Also had three goons at one point, but prefer the viper in the middle, do have more vipers to level for the all viper build, someday), anyway, I digress. I like it as a mid ranger, works well. But curiosity got the better of me and I decided to give a brawler build a go.
That doesn't seem to be working for me. Have tried a few different builds but I have an ember for the middle slot that works fine. Falcon is 2.4 with two unlevelled Heavy Armor Kit's. I can walk around burning stuff for a long ol while, and that is a bit of fun.
The problem is going fang / talons out. Its a very treacherous business. On a few occasions I have gotten good position on something and laid waste (two avengers at the moment, but have other options if I stick with it) but most of the time I can't go fans out within any sort of sensible range without getting torn apart. So not sure if I am missing an important point?
At the moment I kind of feel I should either just go back to the more mid range option (which is very good) or just turn it to a T Falcon (which being honest this mise well be for all the action the other two weapons actually see).
Would a skin help? Mine does look a bit underdressed?
Edited for the dreaded Tipos Angry? Resentful? Hate the Reds? Good. Gooood. Let your anger draw you to the TFalc side. Don't listen to goody-two-shoes Rollo. He wants you to play a stand-up skilled bot. The TFalcon will consume you and make you a winner! 2.12 Ember with maxed HAKs and pilot skills that are all about Advanced Healing.This is the TFalc build your Mom warned you about. I've had guys invite me to their squad post-match just to ask if I was cheating. If I time things right with the AH, I can get swooped on by an angry Ao Jun and lose like 5% of my health. If they land beside me at CB at Yamantau, they die. At 2 to 5 AHs per match it drinks PCs for dinner. But my TFalc usage is map-dependent. Sometimes I don't even take her out for a spin. There's a black skin out there that does +5% health. Not sure if it's publicly available. Rollo Tomasi

Edited for the dreaded Tipos 1st off - Traditionalist or not, start saving silver for the next Overdrive weekend and bump up those HAKs. 2nd - Of course I like to bash Oliver Kloesov and his continued love the tFalcon, but it is definitely a more meta option, one of the tankiest bots in the game. And itâs all fun and games until the Titans come out to play. And C - learning when, where and how to jump takes time. Sometimes itâs jumping backwards, like CB on Yaman to keep a bead on Reds coming up the ramp. Sometimes itâs sideways, from one side of the Canyon CB to the other, surprising the 「dookie」 out of the weakened reds there. From one cover to another, ambush, retreat, etc. Fangs out is also much safer in a crowd of blues, where Reds are distracted by other targets, especially amidst Titans since they tend to draw most of the fire.

During an Overdrive it's only 25 million. 200 million * .75 = 150 milllion. 50 million saved is not shabby. Now that my HAKs are done, I can move them to another bot someday.

Where the heck is Rollo Tomasi?!?!? Without him around I'm starting to gain ground in legitimizing the TFalc as a worthwhile build! Rollo, come back and keep me reined-in. Checks and balances, man. Checks and Balances!

Just in random update 6.2 news. I have an Adrian Legendary Pilot as my Tfalcon pilot and now upgrading the Tfalcon skill to Tier 4 brings the HP bonus from 50% to 62.5%.
That is a fair ol chunk of HP on a Tfalcon, might even be worth the 2k Au.

It's maybe one of the best Tier 4 skills in the update. Heavy Armor Kit is 12%, right? So for 2000 Au this is a maxed Heavy Armor Kit. And, yeah, it took my 4 milliseconds to decide to buy this skill! Imma have the tankiest tankbot in Tankville! WOOHOO!!!!

Tried buffed Nucleon 2.12 on TFalc 2.12: Not bad. It’s much better at 500m but you still have to manage your heat up close. It seems like it does very little damage even when quite close to the Red if your weapon is very hot. I suppose I should test with a friend. Until then, be advised.

Wee bit of necro, but 「fluffernutter」 it, itâs my thread. Yeah yeah, tFalc is all tanky and stuff, blah blah blah... whatevs. I just got a Living Legend, flipped 180 and nailed that booming Titan Slayer! Iâve gotten a bunch of LLs and even a couple of LLs+, but never a Titan Slayer right after. And I owe it all to this ugly AF build and that CLASSIC, smug-faced, fast jumping SOB piloting it. keep jumping yall

I put a jump unit on my tFalc just to see how it worked with Modulative Intensifier without having to spring for ARK everytime. It's pretty fun and, while Intensifiers work better with more guns, with Cormac gives a nice boost to the boom. Been running Ancile Glacier on an oFalc in the LR hangar just for a goof. It's not what you would call "good" but it IS exciting. I'm putting a couple of levels on my Avalanches to give that a try once I get my Quackers to 9, so we will see. This post is mostly to get the thread back on my Participated list, and to say welcome back Rollo Tomasi

It’s not necro, Falcons are still relevant, in case anyone forgot. I’m still running maxed Viper Falcon in my main hanger and it’s a blast. Next Overdrive weekend, hopefully I will have saved enough to level up a Cloaking Module. I’m interested to see how that works on a DB build.
Keep jumping yall.

I've been giving this magnificent 「illegitimate child」 a try in the long range hangar, just because I like how it looks. Still can't quit the tFalc in the main though.

I have a new project. Once the Fancy Sammy one gets leveled, it will of course get into the center slot. But, ooooooh yeah!

And this one, I’ll take the Gausses (Gauss, Gaussi ?) to 1.9 for my fun hanger. Without the the golden shell casing shower, Tempest just aren’t fun anymore.

So, I’m nearing completion of a heavily leveled all Nuc build and now torn between two completely opposing options fo my next Falcon project
Glacier w 2x Devastators or
3x Gauss
And then there it the upcoming Hornet (hvy Wasp). Damn, I might need to run an all Falcon hanger again later this year.
EDIT
Progress tracking...
Bot/Weapons
2.11 Maxed Vipers w/ Cormac Legendary Pilot 2.9 Nuc 2.1, 2x2.6 w/ Sam Legendary Pilot 1.10 Tempest 2.1, 2x2.12 w. Basil Legendary Pilot to be replaced w Gauss (all 1.1 atm) 1.9 Glacier/Devastator (1.1, 1.9) or Ember/Glaciers (near maxed) General purpose pilot 1.9 Trident build as placeholder for Hornets General purpose pilot

Getting closer to final. My OCD voice tells me to get the weapons to 12/6/6, but I’m eager to start leveling up a Gauss set to at least 1.9 for something new. I got lucky w just a few rolls on each, AdHR took 6 or 7, but overall came out way ahead on random skill costs vs selecting. All I need now is a skill upgrade discount weekend.

Rollo Tomasi: that’s a long expensive march for not that many maps where range can really help. You’re still primarily a beacon guy right? An active module jump along with +damage chips might make you lethal. Is this the plan?

An active module jump along with +damage chips might make you lethal. Is this the plan? Itâs probably destined to hit 3x 1.9 on a 1.9 body and park in my LR FU hanger. Or for the occasional All Falcon extravaganza. And yeah, Iâm such a beacon 「loose lady」 that I sometimes even score the 5 Au with my LR bots, lol. There is a new wave of rapid-cycle nerfs hitting the TS (Nightingale, Scorp, Hawk, Laserhose) so Iâm not sure what my next REAL project will be. Probably Shell if I win one in this cycle.
