Man, I definitely need regular squad players. Dropped out of top 10 as I lost several games in a row, as my team mates were walking in every direction but not with me lol. Sucks, but I enjoy BoT anyway.

Well, imma try it out. Look out for a FakeNews and/or _FakeNews_ in the near future! Don't get frustrated playing the first 100 matches. BoT has a learning curve and if you play against skilled players, you'll go down in no time. To master the bots, weapon combinations, terrain/movement, you'll probably need some hundred matches. But it's worth it. After a while, you know every single spot of the (sadly only) two maps and you'll know exactly, where to do what with what robot or weapon.
It's awesome.

New Titan coming, the Ilya Muromets. https://www.reddit.com/r/battletitans/comments/ihd0sa/new_titan_ilya_muromets/ From Kyro: A new contender has landed on the battlefield. This heavy titan is ready to dispatch alongside you, revealing its monumental form and heavy weaponry aimed at anything you deem a threat. It can obliterate everything in its presence with a single fire from its specialized laser weaponry, and overcome any obstacle it faces.. either with sheer swiftness or a fiery of suppression beyond compare. Today, I introduce you to the Ilya Muromets. This titan is unique in the aspect that it is the first ever titan introduced into the mech lineup with arms. It is outfitted with a heavy laser rig mounted on its right shoulder, which will make use of one of the new weapon types, thermal. When fired, it burns enemy titan armor until they reach extremely critical limits. This can increase its damage potential with continuous fire, but the downside is its limited range and reload speed. Not only does the titan come equipped with a destructive laser, but it also wields two medium weapons mounted upon its grippers, or in other words, hand slots. If this was not deadly enough, the titan also specializes in having the ability to sprint. This provides it with good maneuverability, but at the cost of less armor when compared to the heavy plating of titans like the Tirpitz. But that is not all for the Ilya Muromets. The titan may also come equipped with a medium "special" (or backpack) weapon mounted on its left shoulder in future iterations. This would allow it to contend with even some of the more versatile titans currently available. This is the newest production line provided by the Russian engineers of the Earthling faction. To them, this is only the start of a long, unending race to produce an unrivaled titan amongst the factions. ?? The Ilya Muromets is not yet finalized for testing, but is being prepared for sometime this year. The balancing, design, and more will be optimized accordingly. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about it.

New Titan coming, the Ilya Muromets.  That's a mean looking mother「fluffernutter」er. Hope they add one or two maps to the game, too. Match making is faster recently as more people seem to play the game and on my ingame friends list, there is pretty much always one guy online, but BoT definitely needs more maps.

I tried it out and could see the potential. But just couldn’t get that into it. 100% has way more skill needed than war robots. But missed how “big” war robots is. The variety in maps, bots, weapons, play style. Plus, how actually bigger the robot is that you are shooting. They are so tiny in BOT.

Man, I enjoy BoT, but the game does need updates. If the devs ran out of money, they should at least put some ads (video) and some stuff like skins for bots and weapons into the game, to keep cash flowing. BoT needs some two or three new maps, one or two new game modes, to keep it interesting. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy playing it, honing my skills, but it lacks variety.

For all the superficial similarities, War Robots and BOT are totally different games, even if they do come from the same mind. Recent changes in 2.7 make BOT exponentially more difficult, and they have their match-making issues as well.
But while they may adjust things in the name of balance, the overall effect is not the ?dookie?show War Robots has become - 6.3 being hot garbage. I lose big often enough to better players, but not to high priced gimmick wagons. Learning to master your bot and tailor your gear effectively is key, and thereâ??s virtually no P2W factor at all. I play against humans and AI, against rookies and masters...and whether I win is almost always due to how well I play on the field. Frustrating at times, but spawn raids in the first minute virtually never happen. Strategy and tactics actually matter.
I agree, more maps would be great, but after a thousand matches these last four months, I have not â??figured outâ?? what to drop first, or at which point, even a little bit. Still plenty of challenges on every map, with every team, every hangar, plenty of chances to get it right or screw the pooch - itâ??s all on me - in ways that W!R simply NEVER is.
CKRazor, those are good numbers you post - youâ??re clearly on your way! Check out the discord - lots of first-rate experienced pilots helping the no0bz like me...youâ??ll probably find folks you know from here

The flying mech is the worst addition to the game.

That’s only until “Iliya” takes the field...hopefullly, that thing won’t be the death of BoT...but I suppose we must wait to see.... “Titans” by any other name....

I’ve ran a few battles here and there, and just re-downloaded War Robots again......War Robots seems a bit better as the play goes, and visuals. Pix, however, will be Pix..... BoT is ok now and then, just can’t seem to go full steam ahead with it..... Good to see you guys again!

New Titan robot on the way. This one is named Atlas, no longer the Ilya Muromets. The arms have been raised for better firing lines. https://www.reddit.com/r/battletitans/comments/n02uyt/new_heavy_titan_development/

I'm giving this game another try. I still find it so bewildering. I logged into my old account and lo and behold, I have over 19M EC. Don't know or remember how I got that. So, I picked up a Coromant and that little four legged bot that can climb on things. I have so many questions...
Like, is it better to buy from the Black Market? I saw a Coromant there for 1.6M and it was T2, while the one from the change Titan menu was for 600k and was T1. And how do you even level it up to T2? There are so many upgrade slots. What do I put in there?
What are decent weapons? Do we have a guide here on this forum somewhere like how we have one for Mech Assault? I have a feeling my 19M EC won't take me very far, so I want to be smart about how I spend it.

Basically, Fill all widget slots > pay heaps of currency to increase the "Tier" of the item, repeat until everything is T3. Black market refreshes every 15 minutes. T2 and T3 items pop up their from time to time, heavily discounted compared to their actual upgrade costs. If you're not playing it on bluestacks, it's really not worth playing. Everything about BOT is better suited to be run on a PC, from the controls to the lack of graphics settings. That being said, it flops as a game because it's still a game built and run by the good ol incompetents that defected from Pixo.

It just doesn't work on a phone for me... and... most people playing that are doing well, are on a PC. Facing a majority Mouse and Keyboard opponents automatically puts phone users at a disadvantage. I may give it a go with my new tablet... but I feel like that will be an exercise in frustration, so... I haven't done it yet.

That being said, it flops as a game because it's still a game built and run by the good ol incompetents that defected from Pixo. The bolded sentence is the only reason I don't play this. I still keep up with the news about the game and read all the Dev announcements in their Discord.

I haven't done it yet. Seriously, it's unplayable on anything other than PC. It's the targeting system's fault, through and through. Playing on a touch screen means aiming and shooting are separate actions. The targeting system causes you to target individual parts of the enemy mech, so there's really no way to actually hit center mass consistently because of swipe to aim, tap to fire. It runs like 「bum-bum」 on everything because graphical settings are "auto-detect" only. It uses what the device can run, not the settings that make it feel optimal. It's not M&K players that make playing miserable, the AI always aims for center mass with pinpoint accuracy. Always. So while your damage is getting spread out across hard points, legs, core, and tower, the AI are nailing all of their shots center mass. With center mass being the only body segment that kills the entire mech when it's health is depleted, damage racing AI is damn difficult, if not impossible. I got bored with my other PC games and have been giving BoT a go on bluestacks. The game is literally made to run on desktop/laptop. Anything else makes FPS or ping drop abysmally the moment something processing intensive happens. The free aim has consistently felt like garbage. With M&K, and completely chumping the required specs, the game feels good. Still not enough content(weapons, maps, mechs) to warrant the development of a solid player base. MM is non-existent. You queue up and a player running a full T3 loadout is in the queue? Good 「fluffernutter」ing luck to you.

That being said, I quit playing BoT after building a Tier2 hangar due to the boredom of only two maps, the massive grind to Tier3, lack of dev updates, and lack of content variety. It’s a good game for awhile, then gets old. Pix, despite their rep, IMO never gets boring, just hurtful!
