Gimbal Scrub Shenanigans Episode II - Attack of the FlurryLance
Me against Renraiku in Carcosa FdL versus FdL
Again my bi-weave FdL from above against Renraiku's 5 cannon five booster + chaff(?) double guardian SRP
umpteenthousand mj prismo FdL
.
Notice Ren opening up with the "hyperdrive engage" gambit
Some notes on my FdL:
I fly a double HRP double MRP setup and as you can see when I lose shields I switch off the three HD boosters to regen faster. It's quite neat, I like it
I don't like banking, I never liked it, so I figured I can go without the META. Helps against phasing, too.
I have 4 gimballed overcharged multicannons, the huge one with corrosive, one with emissive (to counter stealth builds) and two autoloader.
Also a feedback cascade long-range ImpHammer. In the above vids I run out of ammo of the autoloaders, that's why I conserved ammo in the end and tried to use the
Hammer more. Also I figured Ren would have a higher kinetic then thermal resistance. And I will NEVER synth ammo, especially not in a friendly. I'd rather explode, credits are easier to get then mats
@Phisto Sobanii
The idea was to boost out of your PA line of fire as often as possible. Seems that worked well
@Ratkatcher
You should've seen the day Phisto tried strange and funny builds AND insisted on me killing him every time he lost (twice
), after that he wiped the floor with me though.
Sadly I have no vids of that spectacle.
The thing with PAs is you can't spam them, especially not the efficient (?) ones I think Phisto is using. You only have 100 shots. And the shot speed is too slow to hit an evasive FdL
on anything except head-to-head boosts usually.
@Ian Skippy
That's the problem with both builds I fought against. I knew exactly when they could hit me, and at least in Phisto's case at what range (nose to nose
)
Meanwhile I could put pressure on both with my Hammer when out of multi range or chaffing, and with the multis close up. I hate fighting META FdLs most,
you get sniped by double rails at distances, and closeup you eat plasma, if your shields fail a good rail sniper blasts out your PP (DeZpe I look at you
shakes fist)
