BAMF of The Week: Sammy B.T.
-
The destructoid/brood analysis was spot on. We went into that match with a simple idea that all things being equal (junker pyra vs junker pyra with similar builds) our crew was better as it was more experienced and Jace and I communicated better. Therefore we decided to pretty much just blitz the hell out of them and it turned out to be quite effective. Once we got the first kill it was functionally a constant 2 v 1.
In the brood/bfs game, thanks for noticing the kerosene/tar barreling. Veyka did a perfect job as my hull engineer but it was really sylas' work as my back engineer that kept my ship alive and kicking. Sylas and I have flown a lot together and he is good at sensing when I am going to be using tools.
Something that I am not sure might not have been evident in the stream as they didn't soom on my ship much. I was running two buff engineers. Sylas my up top guy was pipe wrench, fire ext, and buff and Ofiach my downstairs guy was mallet, buff, and spanner. This allowed my egnines to functionally always be buffed and my guns to be often buffed. In addition Sylas would keep his flak guns pre buffed and only fire them once the hull armor was down. With the buff, it was functionally having a fifth shot (4.8 shots to be specific.) This waiting for the right shot allows Sylas to really focus on keeping the engines up.
I can't stress enough how much the title of BAMF you bestowed upon me really rests on the laurels of my crew. Their efficiency is what made me able to fly well beyond anything I thought possible.

Nice analysis as usual papa, looking forward to next week's uber final tournament talk up.

Kudos to your entire crew because the way that ship moved and fought was incredible.

It's a shame that Gilders post is still removed. He had a right to say what he did and it's unfair that he got picked on for telling the truth.
-
BAMF of the week this time has to be either Ofiach, for his amazing Pyramidion flying (charging the Paddling and landing a kill, wow), or Skyraider, for being a badass with his backwards flying through the Canyons and Pyramidion evading.
-
Surely the next analysis will be different videos.

2 kills, actually.
They hit us really hard with that play. Ofiachs ship may have been destroyed in the process, but that charge set the tone for that brawl.

My initial reaction was "What the HELL are you doing?!?", followed by silent amazement.

Gotta love heat of the moment planning :P.
Also morblitz miss a GDMFin shot with that lumberjack next time please. :P

He's Belgian.
-
Zwaene is dutch ask any pastafarian except zwaene himself!
-
He's Flemish, which is a lot like being Dutch except ou live in Belgium.
-
You are all wrong, he is Dutch! How else can you get him to cuss you out in freaky deaky dutch, unless he is dutch!
I love you Zwaene please don't hurt me.
-
I'd heard the man was Hungarian.
-
How do we wanna format this? I could do a 3 day release doing three videos the first day and two games the last two days OR I could make it one video again with a directory in the annotations. Please give me your opinions.
-
I rather prefer the 1 vid with annotations... I'd assume that might actually be less work for you than to break it all up like that
-
agreed

I did! I frustratingly whiffed almost all of the shots on your approach. I don't know what happened, but it was awful shooting. I also prematurely switched to incendiary and undershot a lot of it.
I was able to keep it together for rest of the match, though :)
-
yeah we whiffed our gunning badly at points in that match as i'm sure papa is going to point out :(
-
Not against Ofi's ship, it was Zwaene's ship that was missed on the way in.
He was popping chute vent as well so he certainly wasn't making it easy.
-
Oh was that Zwaenes ship? Sneaky bastard.
-
yeah morblitz trust me, you maybe missed one shot on any of the charges.
