I mean, I have a good grasp on hangar balancing, I have my weps 2 above bots and don't push the tier line, but I'm surely missing little strats that you guys are using to get all those good scores.
What are some nifty little tricks that y'all keep up your sleeves to be good?

Don't taunt those trying to help you. Just kidding. Give me some idea of the bots you run in your hangar and I'll give you all the tips I can.

Point loud end at reds.
Check the tutorial vid section here in the forum. I picked up some nice tricks from StewPendous (or like that) videos -he often explains what he does while playing.
Watching the DB and Plasma Griff tutorials also motivated me to give those setups another try (maybe after my Griffins got a bit fatter...)

Timing is everything. There are times you should be aggressive, and there are times to be a coward.

Do it like my enemies yesterday. I hurried to the center beacon. Then it happened: Taran Cossack from left,Taran Cossack from right. And Taran Cossack from the front. I still don't know, who landed the finishing blow...

It's not always about the dps. Controlling beacons is vital to victory. Why play if you don't play to win ?

LOL Personally find his videos are better than other YTers running max hangers, which is too advance for me. A lot of great tips there, some things I actully do: - when runing thunder carny against an energy shield, alternate your thunders, first blow negates the shield and second delivers the damage - when need to move fast while using shield on galahad run sideways (like using an ecu) - every chance you get, reset your weapon (tarans especially) so next time you face a red you have full salvo - make use of the 'small poles' as cover on the end of bridges on canyon map - make use of carny's height (stew's really good with the carny) to shoot over short walls (such as the propane tanks in PP map beach) |

I think you mean "why play if you don't PAY to win" Nope, I think he did meant why play if you don't play to win. What he is trying to say is that whenever you play, aim to win the game. And beacons is one of the win conditions. |

If running rockets (pins, pinatas, tulus) and you have multiples of them. Practise firing them individually rather than as a single blast.
For longer range rockets you'll find you can land more hits by correcting your aim vs the bot escape.
Also you can lure some players into coming out when they think you've emptied your salvos.
Furthermore you can stick just your gun around corners and stay fairly safe from return fire.

Furthermore you can stick just your gun around corners and stay fairly safe from return fire. Yea, only when you practice in lower tier. But in higher tier, once you get the hang of it, and able to lead the rockets especially when both you and target is moving, you should always release them all at one shot when you get the chance. Its called the "death button" for a reason, i.e. death in a single button.  |

It's not exactly death in one salvo... also, is your avatar literally a wi-kitten? |

Well unless they have a shield. (Yes yes there is no GDB gun death button, as theoretically you could hold the button down and your target would be dead if you used punishers, but obviously it doesn't work ) just accept it for what it is. |

A few thing i learn to use in my gameplay that help me a lot would be : 1. Corner Shooting(video link) : You are able to deal damage to the enemy while taking little to no damage if position properly. It work especially well against energy weapon like magnum and taran, projectile base like punisher. But do take note to not use this tactic against missile weapon such as pinata or crv pin. As they have splash damage and might do more damage to you than you be able to deal against it. 2. Using weapon other than Magnum in silver tier, Missile base weapon like pinata work great against magnum user if used correctly. They are able to deal massive damage in a short time compare to magnum. Which will enable you to crash the enemy. Here's a short video of a Gepard with 3 x lvl 8 pinata one shotting a stalker(video link) . Not once but twice in the video. 3. As the above tip. It is very important that you maintain the usage of cover throughout the game while you reload using missile base weapon like pinata. i just call it hit and hide tactic(Video Link) here . 4. Last but not least of my limited knowledge. As you practice and get better with missile base weapon. You could pre emptively shot a area(video link) if you can see that the enemy is gonna move out from. It will enable you to deal massive damage even before the enemy can response to your attack. All video link to youtube. In case your wondering. Cheers |

- every chance you get, reset your weapon (tarans especially) so next time you face a red you have full salvo Wait, how do you do that? Is there a control, or do you mean just stop firing when you don't need to? |

What I did with some success, is hiding behind bigger bots. I own 4 medium bots. They are somewhat squishy.
So I took cover behind the Leo, that could take the damage. I just came out to release my missile salvos.
The Leo Pilot saw that and actively tried to shield me. Well, he used a kwk and punishers, so we both won...

Well, he used a kwk and punishers, so we both won... well as a Leo if he is choosing to stay out in the open and not take cover, it not up to you to defend him unless he is pushing for a beacon or something, then you should be aiding him as much as possible. Punisher/Kwk Leo.... yeah sounds like high bronze lol. |

I did mean play to win. You do NOT need to pay for this game. If you feel like supporting pixonic, by all means send them some cash. You can play and grind to get everything though. Be smart. It does not take for bots to A beacon. If somebody is closer let them have it and go get something else. Use cover and don't run into the open. Learn to use Rockets! And get that fifth slot quick, you will see the difference. A fifth slot opens up the game in so many ways. Also, keep your weapons in the same range. It is so frustrating to see a Patton with a magnum, a Molot, a punisher, and a pin. That just makes you weak in multiple ranges, instead of strong in one ( learn to specialize the load outs).

Basically still just pressing that single button once you get the chance to engage. |
