Way too sloooow

I'm working on that, but i need a great capa upgrade for more tune ups, i can't fit much more on her.

You have enough spare capa to tune +12 fly with High Boost Beta. I'm not seeing why you'd need to capa tune your LG.

The only problems I have with the MiniZook is that it reduces the Fly stat, and is highly inaccurate. (Trolling Ni-chan - MINIZOOK SUCKS!!!)
I managed to use a LPG and my 40 fly destroy an Izuna equipped with MiniZook.
BMG isn't really that bad, it's got heaps of ammo, when you run out of LPG ammo.

Well, you used a large liquid petroleum gas container. Hitting someone with that thing is sure to knock him/her off the sky.

besides, brickgale BLUE's BMG only has 240 ammo. It is highly accurate though, almost no spread at all.

Petroleum Gas.... ROFL... Very Happy

4 words.

You're doing it wrong.

If a meager 2 fly means too much to you, or a weapon with explosive + shell with a big projectile and pretty high damage for a 160 ammo weapon that has a high rate of stun and only costing 60 is a bad idea, then I have no idea what to say.

I guess its not for you.

I'm still wondering how he could possibly think it's inaccurate.

why dont you tune for great rapid,

it's actually my fave weapon for air

I would follow the current fad in going with Plasma Gun+Mini zook on my Seraph, but I'm too wussy to let go of my Viper Shield for a Mini zook. :[

me too, before using ABR+mini zook, i was using viper shield and plasma gun XD i didnt regret using mini zook. It really pays off after you get used to it.

I know right? Especially when he claims to be able to aim at other AIRs with a Plasma Gun.

Great Rapid eh? I'd rather tune it with High Fly so it gives 0 Fly penalty. -3 to walk, sure, but eh.

i also have +2 fly on mine since im pretty comfortable with it's original projectile speed (and i really need those extra slots for stats), but i think it will help for accuracy xD
once i find a free slot on my seraph, i'd consider using a rapid tuned zooka to see what's better

I personally find 280 speed to be plenty for the range you'll be using it in, I'd tune it for Force instead if anything.

How good is the Plasma Gun with a Mini Bazooka?
I'm actually using that since I took off the heavy bs and replaced by Tengu's bs

I suck with minizook since I don't like getting too close to other AIRs.

And when they're that close, BMGs and military guns do much better for me anyways, the 260 projectile speed isn't enough for me because I apparently can't hit with any weapon with below 300 speed.

Yes, I suck.

Its less about the aiming and more about maneuvering them so that they actually fly into your shots.

Takes practice, I'll admit.

Essentially the ideal setup for typical air use.

What I lack in accuracy I make up in MORE DAKKA

therefore the BMGs / military guns on all my AIRs.

And besides, I suck at juggling weapons. Cue me scratching my head each time I use my 6 weapon brickgale.

Eh, I play a 5-weapon Air Raider myself.

2 BMGs.
2 Mini Zooka
Pulse Missiles

Though I can easily pull 6 with Lucheer's HD.

I've been using 2 military guns on my blue brick lately.

I find it much easier to use than minizook, since I can maintain a steady stream of bullets on the enemy better than zooks, and the DPS isn't bad either.

The spread is very small as well, making it very accurate, like BrickBlue's AM...

So with 2 Military guns (400 ammo) and BrickBlue's AM (240 ammo), I have 640 rounds of high damaging, accurate bullets to kill enough bots before I die.

Also, Pulse guns are fun to use in maps where AIR types are usually very high, like relic.

Problem?:

From my experience IzunaLG , DikarosAM/TesladonnaAM is the only one for SM air lolibots. That's because flying puts a distance between you and your target, permanently. Melee air is dumb, unless "TEC < STR". That's why I concentrated on TEC and FLY and just enjoy the fireworks....

Of course this means my Air is lightweight. Not much Capacity carts, most went to improve Internal Weapons.

Lol,I'm used to the minizook so I can't really remember what's so hard about the learning curve,All i know is I hit other air's with absoulutely no problem (unless they are 4 heights above me,or out of range)
