Test that titan. I tested it and it took out a shadow and a gambler in battle, AI used those titans... It came out with heavy scarring though.

No power, no armor? No jump capability to close in. How many levels lower was the AI?

i can tell ya now whats gonan happen to me with that titan..............................BOOM im dead

black ray guns just don't cut it for damage what it needs is a chainsaw or something with 1 or 2 black ray guns and side arms (machine guns or ac 4's or small/medium lasers) incase everything with it goes to hell

as with the armor my shotgun titan has even less yet it can usually kick the opponents *** if used right so i couldn't care less about that or the jump jets

You can only be joking. Less than 25 APs in a heavy, and you say it is ok if used right? Gasp. What exactly do you mean by being used right, just out of curiosity?

whitefirefox · Post by **whitefirefox** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 11:13 pm

well im a more of a special ops guy i work well in the areas of stealth sneakiness and all around cheapness and my shotgun works with a cc recon that does a fairly good job of getting you on your back and letting the ac20's take you out while it goes after another

PrinceCorrin · Post by **PrinceCorrin** » Fri Oct 18, 2002 10:23 am

might work against the AI. Try it against hetzer. My money's on him taking out your AC20 titan FIRST, just to piss you off. Then he'll decap ur others.

Thorgrim · Post by **Thorgrim** » Fri Oct 18, 2002 2:56 pm

Special ops you say? Uh huh. That's funny, I don't remember the v1.4 AI being *that* bad...

Thorgrim · Post by **Thorgrim** » Fri Oct 18, 2002 4:13 pm

BTW, what do you think will happen when your opponent will use his own version of special ops, and throws a cc recon at your paperthin AC20?

whitefirefox · Post by **whitefirefox** » Fri Oct 18, 2002 10:51 pm

like i said its a pair a cc and the shotgun also the shotgun has a poweraxe for cc that can help fend off the opponent to a small extent and usualyl works long enough for the cc titan to help out

... I used tourny jock, 1200 skill points, if i recall correctly. AI was either level 4 or level 6.

This titan is meant to take advantage of the millenia armor. It cools down VERY quick. Its probably a bad idea to use this titan by itself, much better to have support titans. And of course, it sux against shields (though overload chance is high). Its meant to knock titans down. Its hard to fire weapons back when yer facedown in the dirt. Its at a disadvantage if its outnumbered, cuz it can only knock down a max of 2 titans at a time, if its lucky.

*shrugs* im not too big on energy weapons any way i just can't manage the heat and reload times that the things take (reload meaning the 3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 thing or whatever the energy reload pattern is) personnaly i think that they're only useful as head weapons or back up weapons even though they do have the best damage from the tesla id rather use an ac20 with a reload time i can count on than 2 teslas that only 1 reloads at a time but thats IMHO

And what exactly does it do against a support wing that a vet human player is sure to have? Throw the PX at them, and wait for the recon to reach them?

With a BC 2, it won't be easy to switch targets to knock down 2 opponents before you're toast. Unless your jock has an ungodly ewf skill.

Thorgrim: question do you like criticizing every one elses titans? cuz thats about all you've done in this thread

whitefirefox · Post by **whitefirefox** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 1:51 am

ya know what guys? if your trying to tell me differently against something that i already have working you can stop right now because when something works for me I STICK TO IT and frankly my 2 titan team works really well! mabey the shotgun can't take on 2 other titans like thorgrim keeps suggesting but hey its designed to get in there deliver its payload in 2-4 volleys and get out if YOU guys can't use it then jsut say so! because frankly I can use it and it WORKS FINE for me!

Didn't *you* criticize the TripUp? Wasn't that the whole point of CrushU posting it? Is there any other titan posted in this thread? I don't see one. You need something else? Good.

if thats what your refering to as criticizing then your kinda thinking along the lines of the normal guy because im the test pilot giving a report on the titans strengths and weakness

Thorgrim · Post by **Thorgrim** » Wed Oct 23, 2002 1:11 pm

Oh yeah?! "...what's gonna happen..." doesn't tell me you've already tested it... helluva test pilot you are.

whitefirefox · Post by **whitefirefox** » Wed Oct 23, 2002 10:32 pm

but it doesn't tell you i didn't go and test it
and for the record what was said there did infact happen except the head came off sooner than expected
