You want that thing to really climb hills? Toss on some downward facing thrusters and hold shift when climbing, it can even stabilize you on them for firing.

T2 walker legs, anyone?  Seriously though why did I never think of this...

Huh, I usually used hoverpads for my hillcheese with low-tier rails. Guess I'll have to try out thrusters.

How low can walker legs go?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

How low can walker legs go?
T7 is 9,766 (~20,000 for two, ~30k for three)
T8 is 25,635 (50k-75k for 2-3)
T9 is 67,139 (130k-200k)
T10 is 183,105 (360k-540k)

T5 ranking is at 11,016~29,384 so you could fit 3x T7 legs and rather small weapons.
78,521 is the upper limit for T6, so you could fit a few T8 legs or one reasonably built bot with T7 legs.

So lowest tier for legs?  Unreasonably T4, with nothing else.  Reasonably T6.

I like cocky walkers, because they don't think us mere mortals in tanks can see them up on the side of a mountain, and then when I start shelling them they have nowhere to hide.

On the other hand, those walkers that climb on towers and rock outcrops...

There was one iteration of my now-T10 SMG hover which could hillclimb on a good day, pre-walker introduction. Fun times were had, I managed to get on one good vantage point to lock down 4 enemy bots (think the map was Tihonium canyon?)

Well, here's the updated version of my Jaeger, now sporting 4 railcannons and tier 4 matching:

I know it's a bit of an eclectic mix of armor blocks at the moment, but I've been busy with other things, such as this thing of beauty:

Meet the Zero, my t4 plasma sat. I go high, hover around a spot, and bombard the map. It's pretty fun, and thanks to all those electroplates, I've actually deflected several rail shots. I even had a game where I killed 4 in a row with one shot!

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Always put your strongest armor as the gun support blocks.

Make sure you're not around when I'm spotting rail balloons for the team and shooting them out of the sky.

I did SMG baloon first, then tried out rail, and liked it.
