I engaged a first cut of my FU hanger last night with what I could cobble together from already-existing gear. It’s very much a work in progress for a number of reasons.  That said, I have gotten some kills.   And my proudest series.....   Let these poor souls be forever tormented by the ignominy of being my victim. |

milty72 to answer your question from elsewhere about the Hydras, right now it’s not great. Although using this abomination of a hanger as dropped me into Masters, as everyone knows there are still a ton of loaded hangers games Masters play these days. The Hydras are still very weak. I tend to see more damage dealt when my Noris land on people than I see from a stream of Hydras. Also, from a psy-Ops standpoint I’ve only managed to have someone track me down to kill me when I was using the Noricum Blitz.

Mine is more often than not getting someone to take the bait. I have found sometimes is best to unload the lot rather than a stream. It's all dependant on target It's fun to send off that constant stream through. |

TheU is understandably very proud about maintaining playing War Robots with ethics and fairplay.
I dropped from the clan the morning after I started running this hanger. It occurred to me that my running this (particularly underleveled as it is) in Champion league is antithetical to the clan ethos.
I'm not opposed to being in a clan, particularly when it's a group of folks that are somehow finding ways to have fun together, but dropping leagues like I am would be unpalatable to one that cares about its worldwide ranking. I still have a hanger of my "normal" stuff on the side (the Tyr shown above has been moved over there) in hanger #2, but the hanger I'm currently playing is the FU one.

I will say that running the Spectre that way is more of a pain than when I was doing a similar thing with a Haechi on my old account.
Level 10. Good to know. Thanks!

I've been really trying to hit Mings inflight. I'm starting to think that that's an impossible task.

Back in my glorious Nastytasha/Chimera/Noricum days: Yes. God knows the changes that Pix has made, but I could weaken blue shields and get a kill now and then while they were skulking in the dark. But with HP creep and Noris haven't been buffed (unless by Pilot skills), Nori's might only be good against glass cannons. A Patton with the Legendary Pilot for ranged weapons. 4 Noricums of death. In theory. In my dreams. Patton/Blitz + Basil + 4 x Noricums + Deathmark + those chips that add damage when you use an active module = Maybe effective/scary. Maybe awesome for TDM! I would LOVE to try this but I fear it would be a lark with my beacony ways. Poopface |

In the interests of continual improvement, I've tweaked the setup of my FU hanger.
I decided I had enough Nori's in play via the Hawk. I wanted to diversify with the idea of havnig varying types of annoyance. I decided to change up the Blitz.
I vacillated between Blazes and Marquesses. I decided that Blaze is too purely Brute-force and less in tune with the premise of annoyance. I currently have a lone Spark with the Marquesses (since I only have 3 Marqs). I considered pairing my spare Shredder with them, but I'm not impressed with Shredder targeting at max range (via my experiences with Mender and Tyr).
I've changed up the Loki to be Halo/Shredder with the thought process being that doing hit and run vs Mings to lock them down is more annoying than flames and DOTs.

Perhaps TDM is better for this sort of hanger, but I got a high water mark for my FU hanger with the new setup. I used the Blitz, Spectre, and Hawk.
Unfortunately, I don't know where my 4th kill came from. I think the Spectre.

Poopface: Nori double-header. Sweetness defined. Your Hawk/Zenit/Nori build is perfect TDM-bait of epic, cheating, and OP proportions. Like a Lantern Fish or Angler Fish. Some guy in a Phantom/Leech will get woody thinking there's an easy kill 360m away... Nope! "You dead. And you too for hanging around him. You both dead. NEXT!"

Appropriate and timely reference. My wife made an Angler Fish costume for my now 11 yr old that my 4 yr old will be wearing for Halloween this year.
It has a fully functional head lamp.

For a while I ran an OG stock Vityaz in my Vit hangar. Nashorns/Spirals. So much fun to get kills with that back when you clearly got to see who killed you. 😄  |

This scenario is how I got the kill shown below only it was in a Dom match. I had moved over toward one of their starter beacons (can't remember the letter, but it was on the short axis) while my target the did the same to ours. As I saw him head to our beacon, I moved toward C and blocked LOS from him via the central bridge supports. He dropped down from the ledge and started charging toward me as he only saw me looking like a Nat firing my Zenits. Didn't notice the color difference, I suppose.

Sir, as a Moderator I'm compelled by an interest in the greater good of War Robots to RED CARD you for this behavior. As FRICKIN' HILARIOUS and DELIGHTFUL this is, you simply must stop this abominable behavior. Bad form. Just plain unsportsman-like. Oh, the humanity.   Edit: That picture made my morning. Life is too short. I'm gonna have to try it. What do we call this? "Whale Baiting?" |

It's poor awareness, really.
I really need to look further into how reasonably to max my Hawk damage while maintaining a moderate level of sanity.

Agreed, "Whale Baiting" is a little strong. Oops. But, "Rope-a-Dope" or "Wait... What? [That's not a Natasha?]" would probably suffice. On maximizing damage: Think ECUs. Maybe. 1 or 2. I'm running 1 lately. If you run 2, the Zenits will still be great camouflage. If you really want damage then you need tier 4 weapons plus many other goodies and you give up your Bait-and-Switch build. "Destoryer" I believe is the pilot skill you want to spend Au on. Edit: ECUs don't do damage, duh, but they do let you do another round of hella-damage in 20 seconds. "He who fights and runs away..." |

I have a copy of a Tier sheet somebody put together and don't see whre ECU falls in. That said, I'm not jazzed about screwing around with ECUs. According to the chart, both Zenit and Noricum are Tier 2. To maintain annoyance, I could see Chimera qualifying (but have none). Tempest (also have none), Viper (2), or Dragoon (1) could all apply perhaps. I'm trying to maintain some distance between me and the targets so things under 600m isn't all that appealing to be honest. Regarding the light weapons, all three of Marquesses are being used on my Blitz at the moment. I could possibly put 2 Marquesses on the Hawk along with ? for Heavies. The Blitz would need to do something else, though. I kind of hate to switch over the Blitz because it's doing well as-is. I could mount two Stings to it to maintain a similar sort of approach, but don't have any. Aaaaand gold is in short supply (I think Pix has tightened the screws again). |
