What's wrong with a quadruple hwacha Galleon? It works in the current meta.

Oh the Galleon works.. but facing two Goldfish on Duel all the Goldfish have to do is keep to the other side of the map, or the Galleon has to tangle with the wind and the scenery - remembering that Russians don't like Piloting (or Engineering).
The triple-carronade Squid was the odd one, given the usual Russian tactic of rushing in all-guns-blazing - against a Flak Goldfish and a Hwacha Goldfish that whilst not completely coordinating tactics did stay together 80% of the time to provide mutual support. If the Squid had Banshees or Whirlwinds (or even flamers) they might have caused more problems, but as it was if you Hydrogened to ceiling altitude whenever they closed it was quite easy to protect the balloon.
The eventual score was 5:1 (4x Squid kills, 1x Galleon helped by the Galleon getting caught in the map-corner-of-death) vs (1x Goldfish that got too close to the Galleon in the map-corner-of-death).
Watching the tactics, I think the Russian metagame is about 6-8 weeks behind the Western metagame - purely because they're late to the party, but gaining very fast (it should catch up within 4 weeks). The best Russian teams are soon going to figure out better builds and ammunition choices and it will be interesting to see how the Western long-game copes with the Russian short-game.

Implying that the majority of them gonna keep playing after the end of those let's plays, which is very doubtful.
Pickle:
Most Western players don't get beyond 1:1:1 before giving up.. we should see some great Russian teams emerge from those that stay with it.
In the mean time, as long as the rumours aren't true and the Russians are paying for the game.. let's be happy they're supporting its development for us diehards.
