A guide to the Typhon Heavy Flak

Mattilald Anguisad:
I never noticed heatsink decreases projectile speed untill now. If Armor value for Mobula is correct how come it's considered as squishy as spire not sort of ok like pyra?

Alistair MacBain:
Good question mattilald.
Always thought mobula is squishier.

Thomas:
I think that's mostly from the component locations. A goldfish a lot softer (armor-wise) than a mobula, but engineers are often on standby right next to it, so many people consider the goldfish to be a tougher ship. A pyra is the same manner, with someone right next to an easy accessible hull point, where on the mobula it's much harder to reach, even if they're on that side.

A good mobula crew is definitely something to worry about, but that takes a lot of practice and coordination; something you won't find in a lot of pub matches; which is probably where it gets the squishy reputation.

Alistair MacBain:
Only armorwise. Goldy has 1.4k permahull. Its quite tanky regarding those.

Captain Smollett:
Mobula is considered squishy since most teams aren't coordinated enough to keep a buffed hull or make effective and timely repairs.

Also rams are brutal against it.  The mobula was released during the time that gat mortar pyras were almost all you'd see.  A succesful pyra ram usually resulted in a kill back then thus supporting the belief in Mobula squishyness. 

They can be quite tanky with a good crew and a pilot who knows when to take advantage of it's superior ability to quickly exit a close range fight on the vertical axis or when to stick at the fight long enough to win with its superior firepower.
