I like getting close so be warned...I'd put a thunder on that leo. Use 2 molts or punishers if you can't afford magnums yet for it. Keep one pin on it for now since you have it....Natasha..either get another brawler bot, or make the best of what you got with that to go kill something. Rather than shoot from afar and hope to do something. Maybe two thunders and punishers or pinatas? I never had one of them. I choose two Leo's instead at the time. I'm sure some will give some better advise on that.

At your level the thunder piñata Natasha will melt bots. Once you reach gold though it's pretty squishy. Trident pin Natasha is decent but it will take time to get those tridents.
Your best bet is to go for a pdb griffin, thunder piñata Leo, thunder Tarzan boa and a beacon capper. For the beacon capper use a Cossack until you either afford a Gary or stalker.

So far most advice has been good.
Avoid sniper weapons and molots and punishers for now.

You have probably hit the stage, where you are gaining league points faster than you can upgrade your hangar. Solutions:
- Improve your skill (bot handling, accuracy, moves, bot drop order, battlefield awareness, predicting what reds will try next, battlefield positioning, knowing the maps...), so you can beat other players with higher level stuff. Of course this will only go so far, because if you win enough, you'll get even higher level opponents, until it won't matter how much better you are.
- Use RM to improve your hangar faster. This is of course only temporary solution, just like improving your skill, as your league position will catch up with your improved hangar fast enough. So then you need to spend more to again gain the advantage.
- Build your hangar to grab beacons (try to get 5 Au for beacons every time blues win) and make the reds run around to get them back. This is good, because while this often wins battles and provides fun AND challenging game for you, it does not really make you rise in leagues much.

You should use leo with thunder/pinatas and Griffin with tarans/magnums and change your natasha to griffin with tulumbas/pins or stay natasha with thunders/pinatas or thunders/magnums.

All great advice, I just want to hit on the post title. Your hangar will NEVER be good enough. The meta is constantly changing, therefore unless you own 5 of every bot and at least 8 of every weapon maxed, it's a vicious cycle. Buy what suits your playing style only AFTER you have researched it ( I know for a fact you didn't research noricums and zenits or you wouldn't have them) ask questions, and above all else HAVE FUN !

i don't think my setup is doing very well. Any advice? Never, ever use either Zenits or Noricums. (Unless you are a highly skilled Stalker pilot that wants to have some fun.) Natty is fine, but too slow as knifer. Better shelve her until you have enough WSPs for a pair of Tridents. Tulu Pin Griffin would be my first option to replace the Natty. Punishers on that Griffin can serve as placeholders until the OP has enough WSP to buy Tarans. Pinata Thunder Leo performs better than Nashorn Pin Leo. That Boa is a placeholder too. I would aim for a Pinata Orkan Griffin in this slot, and if you want to go 5th slot before gold weapons (which most people here consider a good idea, me included) you can use Tulu Pinata until you can buy the Orkans. |

My take on specific hangar advice:
1. Remove the Natasha. Never use Zenits or Noricums. Bring Natasha back much later, once (no hurry) you have 2 Tridents (with Pins or Molots, probably).
2. Add a beacon capper to replace the Natasha: Cossack (any weapon, but Tulu probably works best to support the purpose of the bot: beacons) is ok, Gepard is ok (but don't buy one if you don't have one now!), but Stalker or Gareth are best depending on your preferences.
3. Boa is fine, you can safely take it to level 9 for max speed and high HP. Put your first Orkan on it. I have a Golem I use for medium bot daily missions (in addition to a Carnage), and I always wish I had a Boa instead... The HP+speed of Boa is just a superb combo. Keep Boa in hangar until you have 5 better bots.
4. Start developing a Leo to be Trident Leo (with Pins or Molots), but upgrade only 2 of the light weapons, because you will switch this to Natasha later, and it uses only 2 weapons. Nashorn is decent (better than Kang Dae) placeholder until you get the Trident.
5. Magnum-Taran aka PDB Griffin is great, get one and upgrade it as high as you can (Griffin initial goal is L9 for max speed) and learn to play it well.
6. Get Galahad, equip it with Magnums and Taran/Orkan. Alternatives are Rogatka or Lancelot, but Galahad seems a safe choice *at the moment*.
7. Get 5th slot! Possibly before Galahad above, in which case you can fill it with Tulumbas-Pin aka RDB Griffin, which is playable even off-the-shelf, and a good alternative to any Trident bot for a long while.
Now you have something like Trident Leo or Natasha as midrange (or RDB Griffin maybe), Stalker/Gareth/Cossack as light beacon capper, Boa and Galahad as beacon power runners, Griffin as Griffin. That's a very good hangar, with minimal, gradual changes to what you have now, and easy to develop further.

Put a Thunder and 3 Pinatas on the Leo.
Put 2 Pins and 2 Tulumbas on the Griffin.
The Boa is fine.
Replace the Natasha with a Punisher Griffin. Once you get 2 more Tarans and Magnums, put those on the Griffin.

UPDATE:  I have made a couple small changes. I replaces the kang dae on my Leo with a trident and replaced the zenits and noricums on my Natasha with piñata sand thunders, I'm planning on getting a stalker as my next bot |

Do you have enough at least 4x Tarans and Magnums each?

Currently, I have less than 1000 WSP, 2 magnums, 1 Taran and 1 trident.

Side note, but you might want to level your weapons a bit higher than your bots instead of the other way around.
I'm running a second account with a 6/7 rdbg, a 6/6.5 plasma griff and 2 cossacks and keep flirting with silver 2...
Pure cappers are also still useful in silver, because so many pilots are enamoured with getting the big bots right away and can't move quickly to beacon cap.

More tarans and Magnums. Tarans first.
