Hades what is it good for?

<< < (2/4) > >>

HamsterIV:
Squids work best with wide arc/close range weapons. Unless it is a mine launcher one light gun is not going to be able to suppress a moderately competent enemy crew, so you need the bifecta to pose a legitimate threat. I think the Hades can bifecta with an Artemis but at that point you might as well take a junker or mobula to get that extra gun.

For a long range alternate weapon on a squid I prefer the mercury. The shatter/piercing damage is the best way to help out an ally from long range. If your ally needs to get away you can shoot out the enemy's guns or engines. If you just need to tip the scales in a brawl from across the map, the merc's faster projectile will mean a lower miss chance.

Great Guide Levi, I especially like the range breakdown of the gunnery ticks. What is you opinion of incendiary on the Hades for shortening the arming distance?

just pointing of the flaw i saw, ive seen hades work well on squid but you would want it on the side and there needs to be a lot of communication between the gunner and the captain because at that point the captain is aiming and the gunner is just pulling the trigger.

i could math it out for you and i have done it in the past, but in the dps race that is this game you will be using hades for hull break so the added fire and the lowered piercing would be a detriment to Hades lowing its strong points and increasing the damage that you don't want, also if you are in fight where you are at a such a close range that you need a hades popping up at 50 meters why not just bring a gat? Also greased lowers arm time to about 100 meters and you have the same dps over a whole clip as the normal ammo.

Levi mann:
incendiary 250(.65)=162.5   162.5(.6)= 97.5 arm time and 162.5(5.6)=910 max range
-30% clip size, -30% rate of fire and only 25% to cause fire

greased 250*.8=200   200(.6)= 120 arim time and 200(5.6)=1120 max rage
 -20% damage with +60% rate of fire, +20% clip size -15% rotation speed,

Just pointing out, that right there was the 64000th post in these forums. Nice.

I guess I just want to see a hades quid in competitive. Or more squids in competitive in general. Probably because I wish I was good enough to fly one. Not really good advice for this thread. Apologies.
