Brawling

[jaquig]

Rare enough to have me in a pvp battle type but I jumped into the brawl today.
tier 7 3 vs 3 brawl? yes please.
Then in my launcher account I was handed a gimme battle.
Me in my Yukon, Big Race map ( the map might as well be designed to show off Yukon )
and the other teams only bb was Colorado.

and, other than the economy bonus Yukon came with, only lowest boosters and no signals.

100k damage done
and in a ship with only 60k hp I took nearly 90k damage.

Good job :)

Think my record in Yukon was something around 150k taken when it was in test (so 2.5x base HP) which is pretty silly. Of course you pay for the heal by having pretty awful armour and guns.

I imagine its rather hard to kill in a small mode like brawls. Well played!

I love my Yukon, if I load signals on her I can dance around the battle zone and smack anyone in range.

The reason I uploaded the replay, Colorado vs me and she was at 75% health and I'm well down on health, no one else afloat and I won with near half health because of the super heal. Yukon knocking Colorado out and surviving is a great segment all on it's own. Colorado for she is a lumbering pig is a tough ship.

W8 was the Yukon not the ship LWM trashed completely in reviews...more then one time ?

But 9 x 381 mm ( at T7 ) cant be that bad if you are not a backmap camper :-)) But i guess most ( randoms ) BB players are. That is probably why it is so refreshing to have other modes where you do not get to camp at range.

[jaquig]

yes and no Beast, Yukon is the ship LWM designed and wg said they would use but didn't.
it is the ship that caused the whole uproar that nearly destroyed the community contributor program at it's release and truly kicked off the trash wg talk with players like Flambass etc.

Ah... the Yukon. The BB that is convinced to be a CA and no one has had the heart yet to tell her different. :D

[jaquig]

yup, and by playing her as a ca she is a great ship.
