I'll be sticking with wheels, it's a block of armor, legs have no place in it.

[MrRoboto75]

Legs are slower than wheels and can only support about half the weight at best.  They are also three times as big.  Legs also only have the hp of rudders, which really isn't that much for such a big target.

[~Neri]

Compared to wheels, which are quite easy to cover with armor blocks and have rather decent armor and load capacity.

Legs would be unable to support my bot. I also would not want to have the bottom so exposed. Legs would do that.

[TolyK]

Hovering med bot in T3 (1 gun ) is pretty fun, since the enemy doesn't have one ever. :3

[Mephansteras]

Just got a chance to try out the new stuff. Pretty fun! And I like the effect medics can have on a battle.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Tacking legs onto my critter proved.....much better than anticipated. Now I won't be getting constant spread when I roll downhill at .1m/h!
And it handles well!
And it looks nice!

Video!
The balance is just so, it does that little flippy pseudo-animation when landing!

[LoSboccacc]

playing medic and having a blast!


it is very effective in offense, it dig to the seat very quickly. it is much much more effective to fight with your buddy then repair, instead of repairing while they fight. they get way less damage that way

[crazysheep]

Hmm, so a 2 legged walker actually works?

..

BRB.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Not really. More of a tripod.

[crazysheep]

So, a monkeylord then? :3

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Yep, every shot you don't take is one you miss. I've downed a half-dozen close-up pursuing fliers via lucky moving hip-fires since picking hte game back up.

Mm, I don't see rails using anything but claws or claws+hover/jets from now on. The damned movement-spread is just too cripplingly sensitive. Even with my two legs, sometimes I get in just the right position so it's jittering side-to-side and the crosshairs are stuck apart.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

I've also found that medics are insanely useful. A guy with a railgun shot me four times and failed to kill me because of one. I kept missing the guy, though, because for some reason my shots always went a few blocks to the side of them whilst theirs always hit mine.

They must've adjusted their aim to account for it.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Yeah, the great nerfening following the great butthurt put the RNG's hand on your guns. They're really weak in a number of situations now, but you'll still see people griping about OHKs.
You get used to it though, and those lucky-or-not OHKs are still satisfying. Perhaps the lucky ones moreso, with the extra stress involved.

Hopefully t10 rails will be able to destroy shields in one shot, instead of just depleting them..

Oh hey I squeezed into t9! Just needed to tack on a couple t9 wheels for 100k ranking! Now to battle-test them...

[crazysheep]

OHKs? Rails got a 25% damage buff :3

Anyway, I'm working on getting through T9 with my SMG hovercraft and its makeshift scaffolding on the back..

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Scaffolding?
