Interesting weapons loadouts for the Hammerhead...
Since the Hammerhead cannot mount lvl 10 weapons. a pilot must compensate with
cunning and ferocity. So, I have been experimenting with various weapons loadouts to
help even the playing field in regards to engaging other pilots in PVP. Here is just one of
the loadouts I use to dish out punishment. See if you agree.
There are 2 lvl 8 slots on the bottom fin of the ship. Here is what's mounted and why:
1 Lancer missile launcher
1 Neutralizer missile launcher
This configuration allows me to destroy their ability use their shields. The Neutralizer
has the same effect as the Tizona Del Cid BUT in a missile form. The Lancer missile has a
heavy damage rating to help eat away their precious hulls.
With the remaining 4 lvl 9 slots I mount the following:
2 Tizona Del Cid's
2 lvl 9 Salamaca MK II's
I mounted those for the following reasons:
Since AI fighters tend to maneuver faster than human players. even when they have
the same ship. I tend to miss a lot of shots. So to compensate, I make fewer shots
BUT the shots are more accurate. But, I also want them to be more brutal because
of the Hammerhead's 7900 armor. A human player in an Eagle, Sabre or a Titan
will have no mercy. So neither do I. I round out the arsenal with a lvl 9 Salamaca
turret for those players that like to chase me. I think that it is more likely to beat
players with a "better" ship if you practice dodging and using the weapons at your
disposal properly.
Hopefully, this post will intrigue other players enough to want to try something new.
Everyone and their mom fly's a Titan, Eagle or Sabre. Give them a rest and try a ship
that is more a challenge.
Anyone want to add anything?
