The best bit. There are still many players use fuel barrels as gun mounts, or put it at the back of the carbin.. Yeah, paint it red to show it off too. I do love them players. if i can give them +1 ingame for builds...I would.

Synths

Synths

barrel too close to wheels (alot of players use Lilbois/fatmans - HE damage). best way to hide barrel - in center of craft surrounded by frames.
generator hided behind very weak basic parts - they're shot off and you're GG.
remove frontal minigun - or atleast change it to frontal shotgun - muh betta. also, you mixed 2 more weapon types. specialized craft (pure melee/ pure medium distance/ pure sniper) muh betta. also seems that your main weapon is synths/augers. then: wyvern cabin (10 energy) = 2 synths (4x2 energy) + 2 augers (1x2 energy). by uninstalling 2 not effective modules you will get lower PS.

so here's tips from average player (me):
1. Change cabin to wyvern (ramming will be more effective due to increased speed)
2. remove generator and frontal machinegun
3. remove flag from front of craft. it reduces field of view
4. remove "wings" or atleast change their placement.
5. place barrel under cabin and cover by frames.

pretty standart barrel placement:

Nice wings.... the best way to block team mates, a tall build also is a give away to shots.

[Burnalot87]

Go either for heavy armor for less speed. Less armor to keep high mobility or go for a mix of both. Either way, geting blown up will happen once you get shot enough.
Do keep in mind where you put generators and fuel tank (and for the love of god don't place more then one tank)... While they can be handy, those things will tend to end you quickly when they blow up.

I don't like the wyvern because you cant build on top of it

whats wrong with the machine gun as long range back up / way to kill drones


changing just my frame has helped a bunch

also i only have weak parts im level 13 engineer 4 with nomads

then expect hard play. for good results you need effective craft. and "effective" has nothing to do with "i like/i dont like"

it's frontal. and obiously better idea will be killing drones with synths, and use frontal weapon as additional damage dealer with augers. but i still strongly suggest remove frontal wep.

i like it

everyone takes my synths off 1st then my augers

most the time they don't even see it and I can finish a player off with it

also it has a longer range

[Grek]

as you wish. anyway, hope i helped.
cheers

The only HP that matters is your "Cabin" structure. Just surrounnd that with as much garbage as you can. Total structure HP is just the acumulation of all your indavidual parts but if you can shoot the cabin directly, none of that matters.

If you have a cabin with 250 HP sitting on 1750 HP worth of frames like some tards...All someone needs to do is still 250 damage to your cabin to kill you.

1. when your weapons go, you're defenseless. then you die.
2. cabin with 250 hp with load of frames has imparted hit points from frames and will absorb a lot more than 250 damage. try it in test drive mode

I find it really stupid. You have to strip all junk attached to a cabin. Then you have to destroy all these parts again, because cabin HP = HP of all parts in the vehicle. HP of the destroyed part should be substracted from global HP pool imo. Frames with 2 points of structure per 1 point of power is also absurd.

It does, check in test-drive: install any active melee weapon on Leviathan then drive to it and strip some parts from your vehicle. Then do it again after receiving some damage right to cabin, result would be a bit different.

I just created a vehicle with 702 global HP, with ballistic shield on one side. I took fatman and shot once in the shield for 214 damage. It took me 4 shots right in the cabin to destroy it after, 3x228 damage shots (plus 3x41 splash damage to the frame) and one 18 damage shot (8 damage splash). So after destroying 214 HP of hull cabin still had exactly 702 structure points.

[Ryuu]

Try the way i described so you can actually see changes of your HP.

Cannons have splash damage, it's not a very clean experiment, better to use machineguns when you test something on other vehicle.
