The Crash & Burn Tournament: The Dual Duels

[pcbore]

Won one lost one, though 50% is great at this stage of the game

Once again, Paul-ikins bases his predictions on entirely the worst strategy for us

I suggest Leprosy goes after GeForce as I think hell have an easier time flipping it with the drum than the lower shape of Infusion.

Meanwhile Ill be keeping Infusions rim stalled so he cant use the kinetic boost. The rim really isnt that powerful, so my armour should easily take it with not more than a dent or two. The idea after that is either to grapple/pit or axe the wheels.

Paul-ikins says

Leprosy isnt in the battle, so I did have wrong stragety in mind as I thought you were wokring with Dervish

Frank-ikins says Brain fart. I meant Dervish

But the weak link of his team is Firefly, as that 8mm Ti armour may prove the undoing.

Aha, haha, hahaha, haha ha ha ha - that made me laugh

OK so Hypnodisc didnt pack as much energy in its disc in RW Extreme as some of todays vapourbots do. But which worked better - its disc at causing damage, or Behemoths 2mm (I think it was) scoop at resisting any damage?

Ill admit that I dont keep a stringent watch on whats hot and whats not in vapourbots but is 8mm ti really a weak link nowadays?

Depends whats linking it to the chassis

I didnt mean weak-link as in crap, I meant weak-link as the robot Id prefer to go for first. To be honest, if you were me, would you go for the robot with Titanium armour, or Hardox armour. Im taking on Firefly because I tore off Back To Rocks 7mm Ti like a notice off a bulletin board, so Im going for you because 8mm Titanium is only 1mm thicker than 7mm Ti (Im great at maths )
Im not saying 8mm Ti is weak - quite the opposite - but its not AS strong as Hardox.

thats an unfair way to compare both when you attach an actual value to the titanium (8mm) and not to the Hardox

but I agree with Paul when he says the vapourbot scene is a Hardox filled environment nowadays

[leorcc]

Not only the vapourbot scene let me tell you.

[paulc]

Thats true - Merlin, Envy, Iron-Awe, Tanto, Dantomkia, Ripper Evo and possibly more use Hardox for their armour.

You forgot one of the Hardox pioneers: Tough As Nails. Same frame since 2001.
