Yeah that's true, the reverse legs are great for flight.
As an ACV player, I only use the chunky fat legs due to EN and KE resistance,
hardly anybody uses CE attacks.
Which is why I always pack at least one gun of every damage type, be it missiles or a grenade launcher for CE, shotguns or miniguns for KE, or the MOONLIGHT or a laser rifle for TE.
And if all else fails, my Core is so heavy I can more or less one-hit everything by kneeing the bastards. I actually love the fact that you can kick people with your AC now, it's so satisfying to smack someone off the air with that move.
Honestly, I wasn't too bothered by the game going back to a more AC3-styled controls, but then again, the first game in the series that I played was 3, so I'm kind of biased. Plus, anything heavier than a SOMBRERO SOBRERO was completely useless in 4 and For Answer, I like my mech's weight to be 3/4 armor, damn it. Although the ARGYROS' Kojima Overboost does compensate pretty damn well for the Heavyweight's lack of mobility, though.
The main thing I liked about ACV was the ability to aim your design at your enemy's weakness. So you could focus on CE, TE, and KE depending on what you need to do.
One thing I noticed in several tank builds is that most people gear them towards AP rather than defense.
I mean, occasionally I'll get a tank that's so resilient I have to use an the Giga Missile to take them out without my AC losing both arms and it's head, but most of the time you can just rush with a high DPS weapon and they go down faster than they can turn around to fire at you.
I dunno, maybe I just get lucky during matchmaking.
I like to think of quads as the mech equivalent of a jeep. It has the horsepower of a truck, yet the mass of a car.
They can do everything a tank can do, only faster and with less armor.
I like to think of them more as tank destroyers, seeing as they usually have more powerful weapons than thanks thanks to the sniper cannons Let's be honest here, nobody uses the sniper cannons on anything else. , and better mobility thanks to having legs.
The image of her coming down was from Episode 10, I think. However, the image above was a very short frame, only shown for like half a second as she falls down from an air ship. Extremely easy to miss if you don't go by the show frame by frame, which the person who cropped the image out most likely did.
Since when do people call an airplane an airship? It's the B-52 Stratofortress, and it's been in the US Airforce since the 1950s. Pictured center in front of the aircraft is a rotary cruise missile launcher.
I don't study airplanes. I've never even been on one. I also definitely don't pay any attention to military stuff.
But I did grow up playing Final fantasy which refers to most ships as 'air ships' and I sort of apply the term 'air ship' to things with cargo holds like that one.
