rhino

Didnt your mama ever tell you to never mix weapon ranges coz it's not effective? It's illogical to mix pins with tarans. If you want to play mid range, go RDB or go home.

I'm not convinced, you claim you play in top tier and pin will do 20k EVERY 10 seconds, in paper sure but you're not fighting dummies that don't move and find cover up there. From how I see it you're not using the rhino efficiently. If you want to play support You're better off with a trident carnage or fury not a (support rhino) LOL

A Safer fight, in this game? Better to sacrifice safety, get the beacons, do lots of damage and come back with your next slot. A play style that involves retreating any time anyone gets within 350 metres is not a good way of getting or holding beacons.

Are you saying you backpedal in a rhino to avoid tarans? isn't the rhino THE slowest bot in the game to backpedal in?

nah the shield is just for looks.

When the shield is up use the movement stick like a throttle to adjust your speed allowing you to move around without dropping the shield as often

I personally love the Griffin for the reasons described by other users, and Rhinos are a prime target for my DB Griff. A charging Rhino cannot drop its shield quickly enough to deal serious damage to a jumping Griffin or avoid a DB strike, and Rhinos with their shields down are just nice slow targets. DB Galahads are also excellent Rhino poachers, but fortunately for Rhino pilots they are relatively uncommon. The shield will stop PDB fire, while the bot can avoid DB fire just by backpedaling with the shield down.

Generally, anything with splash, especially DBs and Trident Furies, is trouble for a Rhino, and most splash weapons can fire off their loads before the Rhino can drop its shield. That's part of the reason that I do not run any Rhinos in my hangar even when I can easily afford a few and they are probably better than what I am actually using. Rhinos still have a place in the meta, but the meta is a lot more dangerous for Rhinos than before thanks to the brit bots causing players to run more splash and Rhinos are no longer as dominant as they once were.

man, you can hit pins 365m, than make 2 steps in front of and dowload tarans from 350m and than find cover where recharge it or backpedal 2 steps... i use this way to pilot aphid/taran rhino, just hitting with aphids from 350m perfectly, i know if i able to hit, enemy settings as mine could hit me. remind that. (Pins hits from everywhere safeless)

Dude, I can barely understand your post, can you at least type more clearly? Like seriously man, settings should be same, safeless isn't even a word, dowload should be unload, etc. The first word of every sentence should be capitalized as well. I don't care if your native language isn't English, mine isn't either.

In the 10 seconds you take to unload your tarans, a normal pdb rhino or griffin will have done 200k damage while you will have done around 160k damage with your pin taran setup. Sure, you can shoot from 365m, but what decent pilot isn't going to traverse the infisimal distance of 15m and blast you as soon as you lower your shield to fire your tarans? Even worse is if it's a db setup, as soon as you get within 350m, he will also be going towards you to unload his orkans and pinatas. You assume that once you disengage, the enemy isn't going to chase you any further, if it's a griffin, he will jump after you, if it's a rhino, he will chase behind you and unload as soon as you stop.

If you are facing an aphid pilot with your rhino, you should be able to block it with your shield, aphids don't have splash damage. Pins don't hit from everywhere safely, what if you face an rdb griffin, or a Trident fury?
