I run a Tempest bot in my long-range TDM hangar deck as an end-game Titan deterrent (Mings and Arthurs hate it) and I am split between mounting my three weapons on either a Falcon or Fury, as both have ups and downs compared to one another. This bot will only be used in TDM, so considerations regarding beacon modes or FFA can be disregarded. Currently I have these going for each bot:
Fury Advantages:
1. Taller, so it can better use cover to have the weapons firing over the top while the bot is hidden
2. All weapons slots are always active and thus are synchronized/available
3. Cheaper to upgrade and maintain
Flacon Advantages:
1. Can jump, allowing for more possible maneuvers
2. Damage resistance
3. 12 kph faster
I have considered bots like Behemoth or Raijin, but I really like being able to move while firing, or do not want to build a whole new bot when Fury and Falcon are adequate for my needs.
Currently I am siding with Fury because that height advantage really does make a difference and the Falcon’s ability not syncing with Tempest’s fire/reload cycle is quite annoying and means I have to waste some shots and time to get them synced again. I also feel Falcon’s survivability is not a huge plus in this case as it won’t do much to help against an angry Titan with resistance mitigation or a Shell/Ravana with 3 times my DPS rushing me. The mobility and jump are a big draw for Falcon though. But I am not fully set on Fury so a good argument for either bot will draw me to its side. What do you guys think?
