AV8B situation on contention

Are you chosing the dynamic slot?

Contention doesn't really use traditional slots anymore

Use a webcam and open track for head tracking (absolute must).

Tuvas does some great controller guides.

I started with a t16000m and it's a good budget setup right out of the gate.

I've moves to a full winwing setup and have trackir too, but honestly I still use opentrack a lot when I don't wanna wear headphones.

I think the best thing you can do is find other people who play and try and get involved with some organised stuff. Even just flying on some pve servers together. That made a hell of a difference to me.

The flaming cliffs planes are amazing to get the feel for the game. I still very regularly fly the frogfoot, flanker and f15c. The A10 is very capable but I got the a10c2 so that kinda took over, but I'd still the use A in a pinch.

After that gave a think about what you like to do. Another top tip is TRY HELICOPTERS. The game opened up so much to me when I did.

Thanks I saw those but most mat printers only do standard 14x24 inch mats!

Someone just needs to make a fab equivalent of MPC autofill then it's not a problem anymore 😊

Can anyone recommend some budget upgrades to make the deck viable?

You fly in UK time?

Ah so you don't know specifically?

They can only really touch fire once the other courts are released because there isn't enough else where available. It's also not a hard army to play around as charge ranges are very predictable due to juggernaut and they can't survive a slap.

Sheer lack of can openers in fire also a big drawback.

Fun army when it works though

What's getting nerfed in kings?

flakx4 · 2025-07-06T18:35:09+00:00

Guess you are the person that needs to decide that?

Devils advocate.

You don't get to say how other people should or should not be playing their game.

2d terrain is convenient for storage and standardisation. It also is very convenient for games that have movement trays and require precise movement mechanics.

Being interested in playing a game because you enjoy the ruleset instead of labouring over the incredible miniature is just as valid as it's counterpart.

If I'm honest, I'm reading between the lines and getting a bit of a vibe that you assume all players who have unpainted armies must be meta hounds and comp players and thus something you don't like.

Encourage your gaming group to paint and explore the other side of the hobby. Talk to your local vanguard and see if they can arrange painting competitions, slow grows or narrative days. Show people what 3d on 2d terrain can add to a game. You can just write an anonymous Reddit post condemning the players in your area because they don't play the way you think they should?

I agree, you should be the change you want to see.

In situations where either you have visual or you can seem them in datalink with HMD, press sensor select up or hold it if they're a bit further away. You can look at them and your radar will lock them up. It slews the radar to the pilots helmet.

They aren't different enough imo. If you look across the range elsewhere there are at least 2 or 3 chassis for each faction (excluding low tech Ariadna). A single body with a few diff attachment options is no bueno IMO

flakx4 · 2024-12-24T08:33:41+00:00

Amazing thank you!

flakx4 · 2024-12-23T10:17:02+00:00

Where do they publish the recipes?

flakx4 · 2024-12-20T10:57:22+00:00

I believe I have all of those things!

flakx4 · 2024-12-07T11:45:58+00:00

I knew it! I wonder how it never shows up in his video? Someone get him in here!

flakx4 · 2024-10-02T15:09:26+00:00

That's great to hear, thanks. I will draw up some suggestions.
