AchtSieben EL build questions/suggestions

Achtsieben EL's AMs fire the missiles upward at a 45Degree Angle, not directly forward. It's like the problem that Sturbanger AM missiles have. They also aren't the best at damage. That's why they aren't so good.


Also, I should mention. Does anyone else here think that Achtsieben's name sounds kinda like the word "Action" said in a German-ish Accent?

It actually translates in german least in google translate as 87 o.o acht being 8 an sieben being 7

Or Flower in Japanese. (acht-sieben>eight-seven>hachi-nana>ha-na>flower)

Heh, I kinda thought it was German for something. Thanks for looking it up.

It's also a Japanese word too? Whoa!

I wonder what significance the 87 or Flower has to the robot then? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with either. It makes no sense.

Never trust google translate.

AchtSieben is not a word in german. It'd either be "Achtundsiebzig" (78), or "Siebenundachtzig". AchtSieben is just "EightSeven". I expected a "ZehnNeun" or "SechsFünf" to follow him o wo

Maybe flower refers to the legs?

Well doing a little searching and thinking the setup for achtsieben and the majority of its variants make me think anti aircraft setups...
So I looked up Japanese type 87 as Germans don't do number designation for their tanks but Japan did. Why I found was the Japanese type 87 self propelled anti aircraft gun which kinda looks like the default variant.

Now haven't figure out the flower angle but I'm sure there is something there to as Japan is known for a lot of symbolism.

That missile launcher am will track flying target only, useless against grounded target. Also, the missile doesn't have high turning capability.

tips: use that rail gun explosive propagation
