What's the whole appeal of this Gunpla fight thing anyway?
>>14119229
It's a game where special snowflake shit is encouraged and there are basically no limits on what you can do as long as you do it yourself. Obviously the meta would ruin it, like most games, but it would be hella fun for casual play.
Not reading your BF fanfiction faggot.
I missed these threads. It was my favorite brand of autism to indulge in during the summer.

Yeah, I don't believe you. Granted, I've met some serious shitlords at my LGS, but this reeks of bullshit.
The last time I had to deal with a punk ruining everyone's good time, it was some prick who kitbashed a Barbatos, Astray Red Frame, and Gusion Rebake together into an abomination of pure EDGE. Bullies these kids into playing on Damage Level A, so their snapbuild kits get turned into hunks of warped plastic when he's done shitting all over them.
I figured I'd at least try and shut the faggot up, so I brought along a sleeper build of mine; it's a Full Armor 7th Gundam I modified to be able to cast off into the regular 7th Gundam. Half of the parts were scratchbuilt, not that the edgelord noticed or cared.
We end up in a space map, and he tries to style on me, but I wasn't having that shit. He tries blowing up the beam cannon on my back with some shots from his machine gun, but I surprised him by purging the extra armor and bumrushing him with a saber drawn.
Fucker squealed like a pig when I bisected his edgelord kit, and before he could start trashing shit with an onset of tard strength, he was tossed out for disturbing the other customers.
All in all, good times were had.
A stray cat comes to my door and meows for food when I build gunpla on the table.

How do I into remote weapons?
Thinking of doing a maximum over-edge build off a Wing EW kit.
Deathscythe or Epyon? Or should I base it off of something less inherently edgy like Altron or Sandrock?
>>14119416
Just combine all 5 gundams from wing. Bonus points if you use the GoL versions.
>>14119426
Thanks, anon. That actually sounds pretty interesting. Probably won't use GoL versions though.
Do you guys prefer teams that are thematic or teams where each member does their own thing?

Suck my dick losers lol.
>>14119409
Lern2macros. There's a reason so few top contenders use funnels: they're nigh-impossible to control individually. You have to rig your GP Base with every command you want them to do, like "move to encircle the spot I designate from 40cm away and attack", "fly here and wait", "spin in a circle around me and fire outwards", so on and so forth. With a few large funnels you can get a little more hands-on, but when you have a lot you're basically restricted to stock footage.
>>14119435
Thematic teams of course
>ITT snapshits pretend they can beat customs
>>14119435
I gotta say, I really like the tacticool element.
My favorite is the asymmetrical 2-man tag team where one person brings the big bad hero suit, and the other brings a group of grunts tailor fitted to support the main MS.
Makes for a very interesting dynamic if you ask me.
Rules are a little complicated and balancing is an immeasurable bitch. Generally only good for casual play really.. The slots never fill up come tourney day which is a major bummer.
>>14119463
I like that for 3-man teams, like a custom Gundam with 2 custom GMs. But for 2-man teams I prefer them to be "opposites" like God and Master
>mfw when every body use these sweet customs and i just sit there with my ez-8

Do I go full edgelord or try to moralfag it out?
>>14120157
Open the battlelog and show it to them? There's a reason why the log can be accessed in every shop that's actually worth going.
I'd participate in this bad boy and base it off of a Sniper II. I'd have to scratch build new soles, shin armor, new skirts, chest armor, shoulder armor, new visor, a custom little knife and a tiny antenna or two. The real issue is trying to make that GIANT BACKPACK HOLY CRAP. I'd have to start with a Powered backpack or something.
But since the end goal is intense jungle warfare, I'm ready to take on the challenge.
>>14120157
You already offered him a replacement, no use going edgelord now. Besides, even if it isn't a place you don't frequent, you don't want to turn people away from the hobby. There are times and places to go full retard but a little hobby shop against a kid isn't really one of them. If you can't calm the kid down and show him how to repair (he's going to have to learn eventually) then just talk to the manager or something. They probably deal with accidental kitrape all the time.

>Latest patch changes the entire gunpla land racing meta entirely
>All the shitters complaining about the nerf of all infinifuel thrusters
>Nobody talks about the buff to fuel-eating thrusters which nobody used before the patch
Gunpla land racing has changed for good.
Infinifuel thrusters getting lower thrust and fuel-eating thrusters getting good thrust was the rebalance that we all needed from the moment they introduced racing.
>Going as fast as my LaGOWE can with minimal use of my thrusters to conserve fuel

>Ass thruster explodes and my LaGOWE starts falling apart from the rear leaving flaming pieces of it everywhere on the track
>Make it across the finishing line with half of my LaGOWE still intact
Breaking out of the meta, why does everyone think Turn A and X would be overpowered? Turn X got demolished by that Gyan kid's machine gun and Turn A got destroyed by a fucking bearguy and if memory serves it was actually a petiteguy that closed out the battle.
>>14120964
>MUH MOONLIT BUTTERFLY GAY SHIT
you all know the meta would be filled of trans am faggots
>>14120974
But trans-am takes skill to pilot. The handling becomes fucking obscene. You turn a tiny bit and suddenly you're two seconds from out of bounds. Not only that, but if your particles run low and you're trans-am wears out, you are essentially a boat with guns.
>>14120979
Skill or not, I hate how Trans-Am capable kits are the go-to for the Gunpla Academy.
Meijin III uses a beefed up Exia during the 7th GBWC all of FUCKING ONCE, and nothing was ever the fucking same.
No matter how fucking creative you were with your builds, if it didn't turn red and GOFAST, it was shit.
That elitist bullshit is why I fucking dropped out of there. I had a Delta Gundam with Wings of Light that ran on G-Reco Photon bullshittery, and it was fucking fantastic in terms of speed and particle consumption, and no one gave a shit no matter how many fucking Exia derivatives I slagged on Damage Level A because it didn't have Trans-Am or shat sparkles out of its back.

I don't know what else he had, but fuck, his defenses was ridiculously tough. A regular beam rifle shot outright bounced off when it hit him and physical weapons did fucking nothing. When I closed in to melee he fought me with the shields and I got wrecked hard.

Man, making people paranoid is so much fun. It's like everyone is unable to comprehend that Qubeleys don't have to use funnels all the time.
Or maybe the locals are just shit at gunpla battle.
It's probably that.
>>14125820

>>14125839
I don't even bother with funnels for the most part, mainly because the local meta has lots and lots of Vulcans. I've only got between two and seven on my TactiQal Custom, depending on configuration. And those are mainly for scouting and automated AMD.

Y'all need to play in standard!
with the meta rotation on the IBO block, all the beamspam is gone!
There's nothing currently too OP or dominating besides maybe the occasional Einfag or Barbatos teleporter. but all the weapons are pretty even stat-wise.

I know him. People talk shit about him but he's actually some Taiwanese-Korean living in Japan who builds masterpiece customs. He comes to visit the states sometimes so he can spread the love of gunpla battle, but because Americans are racist pigs who like to bully fat asians he just plays the villains and loses to NEET nerds like OP to boost their confidence.
Smh desu sempai. The man is like a fucking hero and it hurts to see him get kicked around to popularize something he loves even though Americans are shit modellers who only know how to snapfit junk together. Half the time they don't even apply stickers much less paint.

What is the Siege Rhino of gunpla type2 right now.
I'd hate it if they remolded the RX-0 and kept it in the new block because of the tv series. Just let it go out of set so we can stop playing with it and start having fun with Graze.
>>14126114

There was also a guy who slathered his bakugan in PS putty so it could be detected by the field, and it also fell apart.

They're rubbish, and unless you get Victory or Victory 2 core you need an ms the size of the table to generate one. And Gaia Gear kits are rarer than truffles. Its easier to slap a gn drive on, hell even a gn particle tank does the job. banrise really weren't thinking when they tried to transfer this stuff over.
>>14127102
They work well if you set them up correctly and use them sparingly. Or if you purpose build your shit to run them, like those defense-based builds.
The amount of people spamming I-Fields and running out of juice is amusingly high.

Beach please.
Also, did we reached consensus on just staying on catapult, tank shots with various -fields and sniping enemies as they are leaving they gates is a viable tactic or not?
>>14123911

>>14120131
>any e-sport ever
yes. and? Pro scene will be shitty meta, casual play with friends and verses limited tournaments on the other hand will be awesome.
>>14128307
Ups.
>>14127126
Now this is an interesting question - how this affects kits in GBF? Fellinis Gundam is ancient, shouldn't it shatter easily?
>>14128307
Can't stay on catapult or the game won't start.
Tanking shots is harder than it sounds because leaving your fields on all the time drains energy like a motherfucker so you have to be smart about it.
Sniping as they leave the gate is really difficult, you have to be on a level where they're in your line of sight, then use a weapon with enough range to hit them, and predict where they will be to get a perfect shot while being shot out of your own gate because you can't attack before you exit. Plus you have to rely on them having the reflexes of a cripple for them not to dodge it. Nobody uses it at higher levels because it's useless against anyone with a little skill. REALLY fun for fucking with newbies though.
>>14128321
>>14128307
Other Hildolfag reporting in, let's blow them to pieces.
>>14128350
How about just fielding nuclear launcher with multiple warheads? Saturate game field and call it a day.
>>14129724
And if we gattai in space field we can even have thrust vectored Orion drive!
>>14127223
>not leaving nubs on and using them like spikes
>>14130916
Nukes are nerfed. They're good but the projectile is slow, damage drops off quickly from impact point, and obviously you only get one shot. Plus they're heavy as fuck so even 2 requires lots of thrusters. They're great for clearing terrain like forests instantly (or if you want to change battlefield types) or if the enemy can't see it coming but generally they're not a good tactic.
>>14130971
No no no.
I am not talking about fielding nuclear equipped suit. I am talking about literally feeling launch tube with dumb launcher, railgun maybe and as many warheads as possible. And when match starts just launching them as fast as possible. After few seconds rest of the team leaves their starting positions and proceeds to mop up arena.
>>14130981
Dunno if you can count it as an MS or MA and even if it technically doesn't violate any rules that I know of, tactics like that are probably banned even at lower-level competitions.
They aren't impossible to dodge and most arenas actually have enough space to escape a ton of warheads. It's hard to saturate an entire battlefield but yeah you can catch them off guard. Good luck getting anyone to play with you though.
>>14130999
It's just an idea. I go by default with Hild anyway. Submunition pods with burst munition seem like a good idea thou to saturate area, maybe not with radiation but with particles, so beams become useless maybe?
and come on, blowing up scenery is always fun.
>>14130981
The standard arena size makes it such that that tactic is kind of useless unless you have really good range on your nukes(Like the max range, I think), and increasing the range of the nukes reduces their AoE and power so it should be quite hard to pull off effectively.
I've seen people using the shockwaves of the nukes to get out of the effective blast radius, looks like it can be a way to nullify that. Look up nuke surfing videos.
Then there's the people with defensive builds, there are some that can tank nukes so if you meet any of those hardcore defensive players, well, that is gonna be useless. Though if you meet one of those, nukes or not, hurting them at all is a struggle.
>>14131010
It was just an idea really.
Hildolfr can utilize nuclear shell on tactical level anyway.
>>14131598
Except there's no reason too. Something like the third patch after they introduced nukes as a whole, they all got nerfed into the ground. As it stands, they're basically firecrackers with radiation effects. With the added weight of both the launcher and any anti radiation measures (because it affects the user far more than the enemies for some reason), you'd be far better off just slapping a couple missile tubes on there and use standard HE cluster munitions.
Which is a shame, because the GP-02 was a fun as fuck suit to use.

Apparently they stuck some Zudah engines in there. Apparently stupid-crazy can pay off sometimes
>>14132627
Are you high? It never got nerfed that much, only to the point where it was unviable as an instant win tournament tactic. The radiation is only an issue if you're firing it too close to yourself like a retard. And I'd call it far from a firecracker. It has a small radius where it can 1HK anything, followed by some area where tanky builds get pretty fucked up, and then a MUCH larger radius of decent damage. The problem is that thanks to the requirements of carrying just a single nuke, it basically means you get one shot only to win the match. If you're too far off you might as well quit because GP-02's melee game is weaker than most. Plus most decent players can escape the worst parts of the blast radius so you're basing the entire play style on luck. Same problem with Hildolfr. You're basing everything on one shot of a damn good weapon but you can rarely end a game with one shot. At least the GP-02 can rush in and try to finish the job while they're disoriented (or if they were smart, deal some damage beforehand so the nuke has a wider kill radius) but have fun doing that with a tank.
But I would expect that info coming from someone who probably spammed nukes nonstop in the initial builds. Fuck you, you're lucky they just didn't know to how nerf it just right in the first patches.

>>14132918
Nigga, you must be the one who's high if you think the wet farts formally known as tacnukes are anything more than a pretty distraction now. Anything more heavily armored than a Kampfer would be incredibly unlucky to feel anything more than a brisk wind outside of a kilometer or so. If you want to have any sort of AoE, you do it at th cost of most of your boom. There's literally no reason to use them over high explosive salvos.
Well, except for the (super unrealistic) EMP. That's nice.
>>14133024
They do damn decent damage, it just isn't an instant kill like they used to be. I don't know if you're only playing in space where the blast radius is toned down a little but it gets some good wear and tear on the armor at 1km. Obviously wear and tear doesn't mean shit when you have no secondary weapons to follow up with but that's your fault for choosing nukes in the first place. The only real issues are not damaging in a line like most superweapons (Sat Cannon, Twin Buster, etc) which makes the distance between you imperative to calculate, the projectile speed (again, farther away makes it way easier to dodge), and how much power/space it takes up. The ridiculous damage rating nukes had at release was obviously too OP so stop comparing it to hoe it was. In fact, I saw someone using an EMP-optimized nuke launcher as part of a zoning strategy during the World Cup qualifiers a while ago and they didn't do half bad with it. He didn't win because he wasn't an amazing player but it if that doesn't prove nukes are still viable in the big leagues then I don't know what will.

>>14132918
>followed by some area where tanky builds get pretty fucked up
Not if you have a full defence-based build. Extreme tank builds take minimal damage from a nuke as long as they are not in the instant-kill zone.
Still, there's a reason why even full tank builds have decent mobility, nuke damage are easy to tank with their armor/defences as long as they can get out of that instant-kill zone.
>>14132976
I tried nuke surfing once, trying to balance the surfboard while riding the blast is hard.
>Use a MG shield as the surfboard
>Point shield in direction of nuke blast, put legs on the back of the shield and hold on
>Ride out the blast, but tumble out of control halfway through and fall into the blast
That said, tank builds always have shields so nuke surfing with them is definitely possible.
Is it wrong I hate kits the Meijin makes? Like the Red Warrior and Kampfer Amazing? It's the 60 card goodstuff.dek of Gunpla. You have a tool for every single scenario and most of the time you sacrifice nothing for it, not even mobility because they can be stored in fucking boosters.

I know what you mean. I liked what I've seen of the old Meijin's work, Meijin 2 was a little minmax try hard for my taste (although sometimes he would NAIL a theme like Cathedral, holy crap), but this new guy is a little bland. There's no risk to take. On one hand, obviously that's a good idea when you're fighting in the World Championship because even as the Meijin, a slight disadvantage can spell defeat. But still. Hr can't do better than a symmetrical "lol A MEIJIN" Kampfer (with super-versatile weapons booster) or "lol so funny another A MEIJIN joke" Exia/Edgia (with a very versatile loadout)? He's lucky he battles well because most of the time his kits aren't something special to look at.
I'll give him points on straight quality though. That time he walked up with the Edgia looking just as perfectly painted as if it was that way all along? Crazy.While we're on the topic, where the fuck did Lady Kawaguchi come from? I feel like there was something I missed. Is she just a marketing tactic or does she have anything to her name?

Rumor is that some high musketry muck thought that gunpla battles were too male dominated and wanted a female figurehead to draw in the ladybux. But of course, they couldn't just yanks the meijin title from the current holder for no reason, so they stuck her in as an female counterpart.
For what it's worth, even though I don't care much for her style, she's got skill in both building and piloting. Add in the fact that she is very marketable and I think that it certainly wasn't a terrible move on their part.
Then I come in with my Perfect Pack Turn AX Gundam and anti matter moonlight butterfly you fags then you cry that I turned your toys into swiss cheese(with sawdust crumbling from the inside) while your mom makes me a grilled cheese.
>>14134310
I kind of feel the same. But still, you gotta admit that he is very skilled, I tried making something similar to the Meijin's stuff, a tool for each situation and all, and I found that I couldn't balance the weapons' particle allocation well enough, something that you don't actually encounter unless you put too much weapons on.
I have like 3 or 4 sets of different weapons, and each weapon needs to either get their own allocated particle amount which limits the amount of particles for everything else, or get plugged into the gunpla's particle grid as you go to tap into the gunpla's particle storage which is an ass to write into the GP base.
>>14135118
The main way I have found to manage multiple weapon packs is to program them similar to funnels. Have the container set to autmatically draw from the suit in order to fill up it's particle battery, then set the weapons to draw from that battery. It's a bit on the kludge-y side, but it works for whenever I use tourney rules, which is admittedly not very often. It could probably be made more efficient, but I can't be bothered, since my local scene generally runs without a particle limit.
>>14135286
I just set them all up normally but give them purging functions. It's not as useful but it's way simpler and I kind of like it better as a theme. Launching with a bunch of shit and then purging is always cooler to me than having a big loadout. I don't make it as big and bulky as FA style though, it just has some extra crap that helps with terrain differences or tanky v fast enemies, etc. That way I don't charge up weapons I won't need because they don't draw until firing (except the basic loadout).
Personally I think it's a hassle so I just play muh custom grunt.

I actually like that one, goes nicely with Gerbera's arms and Sturm Booster. You get decent built in armament with twin head gatlings and 4x100mm cannons in arms and can go fast without wasting particles on trans-am bullshit.

Many times you can't switch out binders, especially in tournament rules. And you don't know exactly what tricks your enemy has up their sleeve. Either go with a balanced base suit, a ready-for-anything suit with a binder for anything, or go specialized and be damn good at forcing your enemy into fighting on your terms. I like the third style myself although I can't say I'm any good at it, so I play the first style when I'm serious.
At the same time that means I'm never practicing specialization when the stakes are high, so I don't know how much better I'm getting.
And beamspam with clips is alright but you run a big risk of overheating and melting your weapon. I once tried to make a scratch-built cannon that consumed 6 clips at once; it looked like someone put it through a microwave and it didn't even work.

Well, disposable one shot weapons with big bang capacity are a thing in UC timeline, so there might be some merit in this idea somewhere. But no,I was thinking more about lines of original Beam Magnum system - using one clip per shot/few shots and then reloading with next one is obvious but since particle system is universal in gunpla battles, why not hook said clips to special systems and use them like cartridge system from Nanoha? And they still count as spare munition for weapons, so their particles don't count as machine stored ones, so you can add as much of them as you can fit, with already mentioned risks thou.
On somewhat related not, all that nuclear warfare discussion reminded me of one idea I've never saw on any table - didn't anybody scratchbuilded nuclear pump laser warhead? Those pretty much eliminate drawbacks of nerfed explosion range of nuclear weapon, can come in omnidirectional or directional variants and should, theoretically, be at colony lasers level of mayhem.
>>14137483
Artillery is huge fun for team battles once you get good enough with it. Scares the shit out of the other team and keeps them constantly on their toes.
I know what you meant by beam magnum use, mine was just a funny thing that happened to me. (I don't want to rebuild my UC Wonderweapon every battle anyway, lol.) You can't just stack infinity clips for infinity particles, however you CAN increase your pool by a fuckton. I don't know if clips work but you can have tanks of pure particles iirc. Never seen it done in person but you can (so I've read) have a booster-like part act as your extra storage. Obviously it holds a risk of being out in the open and therefore destructible but if you absolutely need them then it's possible.
Don't know what you mean by a nuclear pump laser warhead but nukes are close to the strongest of any legal baseline weapon in the game. Nothin should be able to reach colony laser levels even if you scratch build it out of pure metal because it simply destroys your Gunpla, like what happened to my Magnum x6. Not much in the meta is supposed to be stronger than a nuke because having a weapon with more power but no disadvantages would invalidate its existence. Obviously a custom launcher and all that can make the nuke better but nothing should be a guaranteed win button, and Bandai keeps it that way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pumped_laser
Oh, this little gem. Or, for descriptions of effects, any Honor Harrington novel.
http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Missile , under warhead types.
Whole idea skip limits you've mentioned. At this point it's pure munchkinism really but if your gun IS one use warhead with power, if not colony laser, than at least biggest ship guns, it is worth pursuing. Fact that nobody really tried it can mean it is eighter to hard to pull of, is simply ineffective or that nobody simply thought of it. I imagine that cost of one scratchbuild warhead might be an issue too for most players.
Under standard rules, as of now, nothing limits amount of spare ammo count, except for limited space on a model to mount it. As I roll in Hildolfr mostly, I don't really utilize beam weapons that much but an overpowered I-field or working zero G propulsion unit for space battles would be nice.
>rebuild my UC Wonderweapon
I remember that Zaku Sniper rifle came with removable barrel and early Zeon MS particle cannons also had modular design for firing mechanism that was replaced after few shot when overheated, so if dialed a bit down this design might be still viable.
>>14119315
It is useful as inspiration for customs. Slapping everything onto a gunpla gets boring very fast and discussion like this thread allow for greater creativity. I mean, we talk over in universe weapons, add healthy dose of meta and then we try to pass our contraptions as feasible designs.
And we stay in our own threads, have fun, what's your problem? Don't you like to have fun?
>>14137645
I'm 99.9% sure the system prevents you from creating a weapon that powerful. Even overloading your Gunpla with particles (the whole gunpla not just a weapon) doesn't cause that much damage and it's literally 100% particle shockwave. Now, I'm pretty sure you could do something with that concept but not on that scale of damage. The biggest thing I've learned from trying to munchkin shit is that there is a limited amount of particles that can be active at once. Too much movement on too small a field can crash the game. Too many particles flowing in or out of your Gunpla can damage the gunpla (either by glitch or simply by the plastic being unable to handle the in-game energy) or also crash it. Incompatible plastic models can rarely cause faulty plavsky transfers and force a shutdown. And so on. You can't trick the system into thinking you should be firing off a colony laser, even with scratch builds (which aren't magic, they're just customized) in play. There are simply too many particles heading to one place.
And the Magnum x6 needs a lot more than a changeable barrel. I think I need to reinforce the whole gun while cooling it down with excess particle power but that's way too much finnicky bullcrap for me to deal with. It's not worth the effort for a joke weapon.
>>14137667
Your points are exactly reason why pump laser warhead is feasible. Whole design skip straining of main model. And with this idea what's exploited isn't game system but in universe properties of already existing weapons. Nuclear launch capable MSs exist, why the hell not alternative warhead? For my main unit, I can use tactical nukes <thou mostly as propulsion method on space fields mostly> in penetration shell without any penalties and at low particle cost per shot and those are pretty much one shot kill on anything that isn't dedicated defense built with good energy shields. Sure, This is just upscalling and modifying existing systems and mechanics. And considering what japanese are doing with their gunpla I am pretty sure table system can handle that amount of particles. Wear on model alone can be mitigated with modular construction or simply casting off used part.
>It's not worth the effort
I agree it is prohibitively expensive idea, both in materials and manhours for an amateur but we are on 'how to make people butthurt' territory anyway, we can as well proceed.
>>14137702
I swear to shit, my phone has deleted my post twice already. Abridged version:
The system prevents scratch built weapons from being that powerful, period.
I don't know how you're using multiple nukes per game unless you've nerfed AoE to the limit.
>>14138539
i've lost two post during our conversation to the same fate. Ugh.
Short answer - total yield of all warhead combined is under what is limited by system.
Somewhat longer answer:
300mm main cannon allows me to utilize variety of munition types, among which are Davy Crocket - type nukes. With yield of around 50 tonnes of TNT they aren't really much more powerfull than, say, Thermobaric warhead but in practice ball of plasma to the face works on almost everything just fine. I still haven't figure out how to penetrate energy shields on meme builds.
And yes, to achieve desired yield I cut pic related to matching size and glue it and integrate it into penetrator rounds. Then again, those round tend to detonate inside suits. Ha.
>>14139221
Also, you can make those things directional like a claymore by painting them with reactive metalic paints but those aren't really working well with gunpla plastic and I feel machining main cannon barrel and breach mechanism out of aluminum is a little bit too much for my casual level.
>>14119409
I run a Kshatriya build (24 funnels, big issue) so I had my brother her hop in the navigator slot. It was a major improvement, since I'm not tied down trying to fly and macro at the same time. Plus it comes with the usual benefits of having a navigator.
So that's my best advice to you: find yourself a navigator. It's either that or git gud.

Nice. Actually mine has electrical grapples in place of the manipulators. Stun locking is a very underestimated tactic, almost no one expects it and it creates an easy win. Especially when they think I'm a range focus suit with all the funnels.
>>14139384
I had an ultimate bell pepper build with 8 binders just for fun. Obviously remote attacks were out of the question so I just had them surround me like options from Gradius and fire in random patterns by altering each one's firing angle by small degrees. Their attack power is actually pretty garbage when the enemy is facing you head on, turns out. Without the element of surprise and multiple angles of attack, they're pretty easy to dodge. Eventually I turned the outer layer of binders into shield boosters and made two of the inside ones into weapon binders. It wasn't great because of shitty balance and overabundance of useless crap, but it was still much better. I gave up trying to improve it and sold the parts.
Kids, get a navigator if you're using more than 8 remotes or so. And make sure they're great at switching between micro and macro at a moment's notice.
>>14139567
I had one that outright replaced the binders with giant Gabthley claws and the forearms with Byatlant Custom claws. Legs have some extra thrusters on them. All I do is RIP AND TEAR, it's insanely fun if you can close in on them. I painted it dark blue, too, so it looks scary as hell coming at you. I love it so much.

So are you saying you're basically focusing the blast of the nuke into a directional energy weapon? That's actually pretty cool if I'm understanding right but it doesn't match up to a colony laser-class attack. Still crazy powerful though, so I guess if someone is willing to trade the ammo of a Twin Buster for absolute power in a single shot, it could be worth it. I think I just knew the weapon under a different name: the Casaba Howitzer.

Because if there's anything that's more fun than bumrushing with a beam shield and a shotrifle, it's watching a 00fag trans-am right into a chainmine when he tries to get behind you.
>>14139577
Groups are also insanely useful if you've got the programming skill. Instead of having to micro individual remote weapons, you just send them out in groups of three or five or whatever and have them execute subroutines. Or you can just blob them together and launch them at your enemies, that works too.
Just don't grab any programming off the internet. They're universally shit.

>>14139567
Speaking of stuns. I once knew a guy who managed to rig up his suit to shoot out crazy glue. It required a lot of preparation so it would work right and it pretty much would only last one battle. But if that thing hit you you were going down.

>>14142641
Gunpla is freedom anon.
If you don't want your creation to see the action she so richly deserves, that's your prerogative
>>14139615
Yes. Same weapon system that inspired me.
Thou to be precise, i shoot rounds that do that eighter on contact or, if lucky, inside the target. This eliminates most of problems related to detonating nuke at point blank range, at least for me, thou I still carry few traditional warheads foe when mobility in space ia needed.
I've pondered about an idea borrowed from Starfire books of internal combustion chamber for nukes build into a some sort of mobile armor but that really would need high grade metal parts for breach and barrel and I'm pretty sure even aluminium would withstand many shots. On the other hand, this configuration would glitch table for sure, so yeah. Not happening.
As for power, sustained output of colony laser is indeed impossible. But for few fractions of a second same scale of plasma jet is actually not that hard to achieve.
And by not hard I mean taking mk82 warhead, stuffing it into copper piping and covering whole contraption in industrial grade epoxy except for one side.
It goes boom. It goeas through colony. It goes through most of A Baoa Qu actually, thou diameter of plasma jet is kinda unsatisfactory, as it stayed to scale with brass piping, at around ten meter radius to scale.
>>14141837
How was the range on that? I've wanted glue shells since ever.

Do any of you guys fight with mobil armors instead of suits? I doubt the kids will expect to get grabbed by the claws on this one. And the mobility is great because i will be able to fly without constant thruster jumps.

>>14143159
Mobile armors almost universally suck, due to them being a common choice of That Guys. As a result, everyone who even casually takes part in the sport has fought at least one.
They have also been nerfed several times.

They just had it rigged up like a flamethrower. The range was pretty bad, but anything coming within that range got splattered.
I bet they'd go nuts if they thought about loading shells. Though that'd be a lot of individual prep per battle. Though maybe better than replacing one big container filled with dry glue

I usually just mount them like the Pale Rider's. Do a spin move to take people's legs off.
>>14143159
>MAs
Not when solo. Very few MA's are effective when used by one person, for balance sale they are purposefully made hard to drive. No idea why really, as most are only good at tanking damage and having ridicusly hugh amounts of HP.
I've only tried stock Gadelaza thou which actually isn't like above description, by being gofast unit that packs really big punch, expecially when equipped with true GN drives. ESPECIALLY if it's bigger bits have that upgrade, as it allow unlimited time usage of remote weaponsz eliminating need to recharge them after few shots, effectively allowing your team to field your own fleet of fourteen hard to hit beam carrying space fighters. Cool but really hard to use.
>>14143509
Remote weapons - jamming. Decoys are cheap addon and you can spam them pretty much all the time. Ditto chaffs and minovsky missiles for area saturation of particles. Beam shields slaved to macross and radar. Being good at dodging, as in 1on1 matches few people can micromanage their suit and funnels/bits.
Trans-am - ugh. My main unit is ground artillery unit and this was my bane for some time. Now I've got smartgun turret with plasma cannon and two beam gatlings combined with i-field shields under shoulder armor. Hildolrf can outlast any flying suit when they go red and i carry more direct firepower then anything that isn't Jezus Yamato suit, so they usually can't come close for melee strike. TL;DR keepnypur distance and wait for them to run out of gas. Or be really good builder amd have superior specs anyway.
>>14143616
See above. Except for kamikaze funnels they aren't that much of danger really and decent AA macro pics them up easily enough.
>>14143715
Cool but nah. Anybody with even a bit of meta knowledge expects pile drivers in a shield. Now, put them in knee armor and observe butthurt.
>>14143726
>>14143509
Forget all about those bullshit gimmicks like funnels and bits. If you really have your heart and mind set on victory and honor, then you need to learn a proper fighting style, develop your body to its fullest, and get yourself a Mobile Fighter.
>>14143509
AI systems. VEDA is overall performance booster, EXAM is great addition as targeting computer, ALICE, while taking up most of weapon and special slots and being a real energy hog, can autowin any match, turning gunpla battle into modern day Formula front.
My secondary ms, symmetrical and dual wielding Flag was a testbed for smartlink system that now act as AA defense - it's gpod enough for shooting down remotes and missiles, even beams if they are limited in numbers.
Shields. Mundane but good, self made multilayered shield tanks non custom weapons suprisingly effectively. Soft plastic for ablative armor, metal for anti beam. Adding bit of copper protect shield from melting when attacked by melee beam weapons. Little trick- rubber around connector isolates shield from your suit from shock attacks and reduce transfered damage to about 1/3, so stronger physical attacks won't break your rides arm when hit. I've also saw ceramic tiles combined with one of those coolc eramic kitchen knives blades build as a gunlance. Tanked mega particle shots easily.
>>14143726
>ranged
reactive armor Exia. Except armor is modular Claymore like directed charges in reality. Beam weapons tend to ignite individual plates, which neatly exlodes into the faces of enemies. Works as limited reactive armor against missiles. Whole thing is kinda obvious thou.
>ribbons
Obligatory > fucking!
I've once saw a team where two suits flown with beam cats craddle between them while third one acted kinda as a herder. Beams where almost invisible and they've managed to catch few suits during battle royale. Personaly, i would love to try funnels with beam ribbon tails. Or, for that matter, shells for my 300mm gun. Not that i can't shoot funnels out of it, come to think of it..hmm.

They don't suck just so thou. MA's are designed for specific roles on battlefield, while MS is an universal machine, so even specialized ones can be easily prepared for pretty much any situation in combat. I really wouldn't want to fight aquatic MA in ocean field or Psyco Gundam with competent crew in space. Neue Ziel is a monster with good pilot and macros, >>14143835 > Gadelaza is probably best non custom remote weapons platform in existence. Problem lies in crippling overspecialization, especially in UC timeline, as ZEON was using them as last ditch defenses mostly, making them incomplete designs.
There are units that deny that problem, Shamblo comes to mind for example.
>>14143891
Not me but my university has a table in old library building with a nice little park next to it. Annual there is trying to hit some art deco monument in the middle of after few year ago one student done pretty much what you described and his gunpla went through window, over the street and embedded itself into deans then new Cressida. Now it's actually part of curriculum for engineering department.
As for personal achievements, in custom match I've fielded a GN brick. For records, you need 57 GN drives to make a brick fly under Earths gravity. At the same match, another one used a toaster, with toasts acting as missiles. Steam Iron was also present thou ironing board couldn't be registered into a table system. Go figure.

roleplaying as characters in the worst Gundam franchise.
Have we really sunk this low?
So I discovered another way to screw with people, dunno if you folks have tried it. I started with an HG V2. Besides generally making the model clean and high-quality to improve Plavsky distribution, I figured out how to divert some power from "vital" systems to focus all on the secret weapon. Technically it's just forcing the MS to go into a pseudo-stun but it frees up everything physically possible on the model as far as I know. Unfortunately you have to have everything set as a timed macro because you can't control anything once it begins. I put a special thing hidden in the cockpit area. I have some custom code that upon transformation into Core Fighter mode, automatically activates a lock-on system and does a few other things before diverting power to the special system+thrust and removing me from control. Finally, the colors are grey with white/yellow accents and red details.
Have you figured it out?

Which one of the systems have you used? Do you run it on manual or on macross/ai's?
Also, if you go full ranged mode and remove arms for firepower, while bother with shields at all? Put in bigger powerplant, upgrade threads, go fast with ECM for protection. Or invest in stealth and blow enemies when die come to close to you.
Your build isn't really efficient. Oh, it must look awesome when you boost like in AC:V but you won't be doing it for long.
Also, you can easily mount two more guns on shoulder armor . Phalanx like turret in the back and at least two on front hull will help too. Easy to scratchbuild or to scavenge from naval plamo.

The sad irony is that tanks don't boost for long even in AC:V.

A Hildolfr isn't even that efficient half the time anyways, using its main gun as propulsion in space battles still loses out to things that can actually move in space.

>>14143159
I love using MAs. There's very little that can touch a well played Psyco Mk-II. Elmeth is also an excellent sniper.
The easiest MA to use is likely Queen Mansa, as it's really just a big MS with a handy reflective i-field.
>>14143509
Lately, my local meta has been trending towards lightly armed, lightly armored, incredibly quick suits with fuckoff powerful I-fields. Which I don't mind at all, since I've still got the Vulcans from back when missiles and funnels were the in thing.
I suspect as we get closer and closer to October, and thus WWZ, it will gradually shift towards accurate long range rifles.
>>14144184
>>14144184
>tanks don't boost for long even in AC:V.
But they look glorious while doing so.
>A Hildolfr isn't even that efficient
It is best ground based mid and long range support unit in stock configuration and we both proceed over same road in customization to add to that capabilities. I don't feel my unit to be inferior to current or previous meta builds, as defensive constructs are still underarmored for nuclear silver bullet penetrator and are actually slow enough to be hit by one, while speedsters are more than welcome to beams from Unicorn gatlings. Plasma smartgun is an overwhelmingly overpowered AA gun
but it is a very effective gun and fact that I have two beam sabers longer than Gunperry thanks to oversized reactor, I really am not afraid of occasional melee. Then again, Hildolfr isn't a competitive machine for me - for that I've build Gerbera Quatra. Another plus is also fact that most players tend to feel superiority when in proper MS. Sniping them with 300mm shells is very satisfying.
>>14144411
And this is main reason why my main armament on any suit still uses physical munnition. You can also do some fun stuff with real bullets that beam weaponry simply won't allow.
Also, I-fields? Come on, nobody found out that SD gunplas mega particle cannons can be repurposed as HG scale beam shield on the cheap? They also work as scattering beam rifles in alternative mode.
>>14144373
I'll dispute fact that Mansa is a MA. By that logic Sazabi would be one too. Elmeth is a pain in the ass for me, as I can't do shit in space effectively but Psyco series is actually kinderspiel, being big and lacking any form of shielding.

>>14144515
>Psyco series is actually kinderspiel, being big and lacking any form of shielding.
That's just plain wrong, Psycos are monsters when it comes to defense. They've got beam protection, mega particle cannons as point defense systems, and thick ass armor. The Mk-II has reflector bits on top of that.
>>14144829
And I have 300mm APFSDS penetrator with half kiloton nuke attached, shot from artillery platform capable of over the horizon combat. And those can be shot in rapidfire mode, about one shot per second.
Most Psycho Gundam pilots tend to move slowly, concentrating on it's formidable offense capabilities, making this machine an easy target. I am talking about standard build, without meta modifications here but even uparmored ones tend to fold like Ramiel.
I am not bragging, a lowly Zaku with a bazooka is enough to kill my machine. But my Hildolfr is actually designe to be a killer of armored, relatively slow tank builds and it this job it excels. I have yet to meet any MS, MA, orbital station or any other object that actually survives more than three direct hits and only thing that actually did manage to eat second round in it's face was supped up Quanta in full burst mode - it tanked first one just fine and teleported second directly above me, thus finishing whole spiel. Good times.
>>14144798
Because I suck at that kind of controls and need oversized beams to even think about hitting anything.
I can shoot, I cannot into CQC.
Those sabers are mostly used as intimidation, while I distract whoever came close enough I will also frantically try to switch that plasma smartgun into perimeter defense mode.
>>14144770
You've got it wrong. GN drives are awesome and when skilled pilot is using MS with one, or two, it is sight to behold.
Problem is, most players are thinking that slapping it onto their suit and going fast is universal solution to every thread. And when they do get shot down they tend to be, well, not very polite about being defeated. Unless they've managed to run into a cliffside, because they couldn't adapt to trans-ams finnicky control settings, then it's beyond butthurt.
>>14144927
>But my Hildolfr is actually designe to be a killer of armored, relatively slow tank builds and it this job it excels. I have yet to meet any MS, MA, orbital station or any other object that actually survives more than three direct hits
I ran into a Neo Zeong player once with enough phase shift armor for me to need a 4th round from my Hildolfr. Once. Never saw him again after the round shattered the plamo.

Have fun settling with 5 shots to be used throughout the game. I know that's more than needed for anything that would attempt to tank the shots but I can't imagine you'd be fighting so many MAs that 1 shot/sec, or even your armor-crushing Hildolfr was necessary. How does that RoF help do anything but nerf the rest of the capabilities of the weapon?

>seriously arguing that GN Drives aren't the most retarded things in the meta ever
It's noob bait, makes up for decrease in handling with pure outrunning capability and near-untargetability, remains a totally viable tactic even through the amateur tournament scene with absolutely no skill invested (besides a quick adjustment period to Trans-Am controls at the beginning), easy to legitimately get good with because you never have to stop practicing with it, and worst of all it makes everyone wants to build 00 kits just for the sake of winning.
I'll admit most are only serious problems in the snap-building community (but weren't we all, once?) because build quality barely differs, while I've heard of fantastic builds speeding past easymode Trans-Am fags. I'm just disappointed that going six hours without fighting a 00 suit is notable and 85% of 00 fights will be dealing with people who Trans-Am'd out of the birth canal and refer to Gunpla Battle as "how well I can mimic an internet spreadsheet about dealing with anti-Trans-Am strategies". Whenever I meet a Gunpla battler who hasn't actually watched a single show, I can guarantee you it will be a Tranny lover.
In short, damn annoying and are a bad influence on the creativity of newer players.

Fair enough but when you have such extremely limited ammo I don't know why you would take the chance.
>>14145099
Nothing ventured nothing gained. Support fire is also really useful for team matches. Most proper Hildolfrs have backup arm/shoulder mount weapons in case of main-gun-has-no-ammo anyways.
>>14145056
>5 shots
That would be nuclear enhanced penetrator rounds, sure, they need to be actually modeled prior any game but standard munition types are present in system settings and aren't limited to such small amount. Depending on what exactly is loaded, up to eighty rounds can be stored on board. Additional rounds can be carried on hull but we all know how this particular idea usually ends. And when prolonged combat is imminent, well, all hail energy tuning forks.
On related note, Hildolfr can into space after all.
>>14145056
>What is Minovsky/Plavsky interference?
Unless field comes preloaded with particle clouds or Throne/minovsky missiles are used, there is pretty much no limits on how far sensors reach. And I've never lost communication links with team members as long those are up both telemetry and visual feeds are send. Fun fact on that, you actually can't use that in proper EW combat, as this is table function, not model capability. But I digress.
>>14145099
Five special, or preferable, six, as I like symmetry, alone are worthless, as anybody with a brain will start dodging after first shot. Five nuclear penetrators mixed in between saturation barrage are something else. Throw in thermobaric warheads for some decent area of effect shelling without need to painstakingly kitbash custom munitions and final picture is looks somewhat different.

>When healing shells will be mass produced...
Well, not Healing shells, more like particle container delivery system but still.
>>14145775
There is this little problem of ground pressure at this point thou. Pic related is pretty much a practical limit on what can be mounted without compromising mobility. One could remove armor panels completely and acquire for example sextuple beam gatling setup [done that, not very effective but showy as hell] or any other comparable loadout as alternative.
>>14145082
One question:
what scale was that tank?
>>14145921
Quick question: How do you deal with Jammers/Stealth users that pack firepower capable of slagging you easily?
Also on the topic of Hild maxload, I still see room for two more vertical launch missile launchers. That and Ground Pressure isn't really a problem if you're playing a map like Canyon where its solid stable bedrock for ground.
>>14145921
>Well, not Healing shells, more like particle container delivery system but still.
I don't think you understood what I meant by supporting fire. I was talking about using the Hildolfr as its proper role in team battles by being a Mobile Tank/Artillery Platform and laying down support fire. Not healing my teammates or anything, just bombing the shit out of the other guys.
>>14145942
Understood. I am replaying GodEater and had this stupid attack of inspiration. Bad joke, sorry.
>>14145937
If it's one on one match, nothing really can be done. Turning reactor off and hiding in a favorable ambush spot never really worked for me thou so it's spray and pray until something hits. And it's not like hitting mobile suit in one on one match with and artillery piece is really practical or possible.
Active jammers are somewhat manageable, as their general position can be triangulated with use of remote tac net and dropable sensors but in the end this too boils down to saturating general vicinity and hoping for the best.
In team matches, well, spotters.
>>14145937
>room for two more vertical launch missile launchers
But current rotation have only three rocky maps. Any jungle or forest is a pain to maneuver and even in cities overpasses can crumble. There is also matter of how many different systems can be put in one MS. Hild isn't a multirole machine after all.
Gentlemen.
>>14145921
1/35.
That said, the build quality and the different scale of the gun probably buffed the gun's performance beyond what a 8.8 cm KwK 43L/71 is supposed to do.
The gun is hell to carry around though, its pretty damn long.
>>14146719
Pic related, machined version of said cannon. Impressive for a handheld.

And those seem to actually be bigger than long rods I use as penetrators. Whoa.
So one time this guy showed up at the local hobby shop during battle night.
Now, none of us are that bad, but this guy comes in with what looks like a straight build ball.
He asks for us to come at him all together.
The fight was brutal. Right at the start the ball shot a trans-am exia when it rushed him, he stole the buster sword and took out two guys with it.
Professional level players are crazy good. I wonder if he'll ever show up around here again
>>14146899
Tried with other tank guns, the 8.8cm KwK 36 L/56 is a more portable gun, but not by much. The performance is slightly worse, but eh, you don't really need the stupidly good performance of the KwK 43 for gunpla battle anyway, unless you're fighting some crazy tanky build.
Loading the gun manually like one does for a tank is kind of annoying though, takes like 5 seconds to load the gun unless one scratchbuilds an autoloading system.
