      Hehey! I couldn’t notice but to hear De Lorra - Dissonance in the start. But I have a question, I want to make YT content in the future and I’d like to play simillar music from the channel Electronic Gems in the background. How do you guys get permission to use the artists’ tracks? Do you ask permission from the artist themselves or is it more complicated and do you have to ask the company who owns their music?

    • @EcksToo

      Watched your twitch feed just now. You said “JESUS CHRIST”. You blasphemed our Lord and offended me and my brethren. If you do this to a catholics face, expect to defend yourself. A protestant will tolerate it becauae their father is the devil. Why do you think, oh puny little white boy who speaks like a homosexual that it is ok to blaspheme our Lord? Would you use the heretic muhammeds name in vain? When you offend us are you saying that you dont respect us and that you and others like you are free to speak blasphemies without consequence? As i said. Say it to our face.

      They got on builds but when it comes to tactics, I'd recommend a lot of hit and run for newer players. Dying hurts your team A LOT. I had a 30 kill match where we still lost because I had a guy on our team who was 0-17. Don't fly in straight lines, kill bombers first when on defense. Above all things: Learn to drift.

    Currently pushing up the ranks of Hero at Hero III with a B-wing with Rotary cannon, meme beam, resonant shield, and either Ion Torpedoes or Proton Rockets (after cruiser shields are down). My go to for the Empire is Tie Bomber with Rotary Cannon, Reinforced hull, meme beam, assault shield, and Jet Engines for the quick boost charge to shunt over to the lasers.
    Always make a run straight for the Corvette as soon as possible to take it off the field when on defense, I then have to try to take out enemy players with the rotary cannons, which is challenging, though when you do catch them, they are gone pretty quick.

    I've been in a lot of matches where the first component they're going after is the Power System. That said, no idea if I'm playing against people purposely playing together or not. I don't have a "squad" myself, so I am often just trying to fill in wherever. I find a lot of players are more focused on zooming interceptors around as if it's a dogfight instead of trying to be part of a well-balanced effort. For what it's worth, I've spent the last couple weekends (typically when I get to play) buzzing up the Hero ranks. Picked up 3 in a couple weekends.
    The tip about ion torpedoes taking out Raider/Corvette/Cruiser/Frigate shields in one shot is definitely helpful.
    But I do wish there were more people willing to communicate and truly work as a team!

      This is a little gray and not so black and white, as with just about everything in this game. At higher levels players can be near impossible to kill so you simply try to prevent their missiles from hitting! The time to go for raider is whenever you have an opening, a support mark with full team focus wrecks the thing. But it has to be killed quick if it is going to be killed!

  • @khulgarulfsson8067

    You sort of have to keep in mind that the tiers don’t necessarily correspond super well to actual skill level. At least until fairly recently there were top level competitive players still in Valiant. The ranking system is heavily dependent on the number of public matches played and how it rewards you. Playing with a strong team can really put a nerf on the number of points earned per win.

  • @electricmonk9158
    @electricmonk9158 3 года назад +1

    Great vids. Thanks. But PLEASE do one of two things for future vids. One, invest in a pop filter for your mic. They are rather inexpensive and can keep you from popping so much in your recording. "Popping" is that puff pop sound when you make "p" sounds (and others similar) when speaking into the mic. It is extremely distracting. If you do not want to add a pop filter to your mic, you can easily reduce this greatly by moving the mic out from right in front of your mouth. If you move the mic to the side of the "breath channel" you can also greatly reduce this effect. When you speak the "p" sounds a puff of air comes out of your mouth and can hit the diaphram of the mic causing it to vibrate. This puff is picked up as a sound by the microphoine. So, either use a pop filter or move the mic. I believe this can greatly increase the "listenability" (is that a word?) of your recordings. Keep up the great work!

    No mention of using a jammer in an interceptor to slip past a solid flagship defense line? Against a team that knows what they're doing I usually have a really hard time getting past them in anything but a stealthy reflec + jammer interceptor/a-wing. Reflec hull to slip around behind/to the side of the enemy flagship, then boost in and activate the jammer before the defenders turn around when I'm within 1500m of them. I then can usually dump almost all my barrage rockets on whatever component I'm targeting. Even if they know I'm there as long as the jammer is on the only thing that can hurt me is a goliath dumbfired against the flagship's hull. In the TIE Interceptor it's usually a suicide run but in the A-wing I can usually make it out unless the enemy team is really on the ball, but even then it never takes more than two attempts to blow up whatever component I'm looking at.

    • @ScalpWakka

      In a full 5-stack it isn’t worth going for subsystems in interceptors! I leave that to my fighters! The way i play interceptor is essentially like chasing a rabbit, except i am a rabbit. I fly in, clearly visible so the whole enemy team can see me. Dive to their backline for their bonber getting their interceptors on me, then just evade for as long as possible. By the time I die my team has typically gotten one or both shield gens. I will either die kiting their whole team around after killing their ai farmer, or i will get out low health. Deal damage while dancing around their players. Leave obj stuff to obj classes. Unless you’re solo queue, thats an entirelt different beast!

      I’ll give the rabbit strategy a shot and keep my eyes open for enemy ai farmers. I was also on the fence about targeting either the power system or shield gens first, but now I know to focus on the shields. Thanks!

    I may just be getting lucky a bunch (Happens with odd frequency), but I do find that when the targeting systems are down on the cap ship, I survive a decent bit longer when making bombing runs or even just strafing/flying near. End up taking less fire as you get close, and I can slow down and sometimes even stop (though that is still not always a good idea if enemy fighters are on to you) without needing to worry too much about the capital ships guns. I still get hit, but far less. It looks like they fire less frequently and less accurately. Biggest threat is generally enemy players who tail me because my options to try and dodge have become limited and very predictable. I can either deliberately crash my ship (bad), or fly away from it where they already know I am going to fly to (not as bad, but still bad times).
    Taking out targeting systems on the star destroyer is a good target as it means less fire not only against fighters, but also against the corvettes. The flat top and shield gap on the dorsal armor also makes for an easy run where I can even get away with firing a torpedo off inside their shields (can do the same with ion torp on the underside for a quick power systems kill, but tractor beam makes that slightly suicidal) For the MC-75 its a little trickier because of the angle you have to fly to get the most time on target with shields up, but also not the worst target.
    I think people underestimate just how much damage you and/or the corvettes can end up taking from the capital ships guns. If taking out the targeting systems means I get another 3-5 seconds at least to line up and execute a full bombing run, or the corvette stays alive a little longer giving us more time on the attack, or even just to make retreating a little safer to resupply without costing us moral, I'll take it.
    Side note on the torpedo run, while the minimum fire distance is 500m, you can kind of get way with firing it at about 450-480 because there is a minor delay on losing the lock, I have even managed a 400-430 launch by boosting when I fired to make full use of the delay on the lock breaking. Not a huge benefit, but sometimes its what you need to get under the shields and land a shot. Or just to increase the chances of it making it to the target (I know the long range torp launch is a thing, and against a team not looking out for it that can be really effective, but I took out at least 10 torpedoes about two games ago, and at least half of them were fired within 700m of their targets. its not that hard to nullify a torp)

    • @keetonmitchell4669
      @keetonmitchell4669 3 года назад

      Ok, so I did some testing in practice mode and... well I got weird results. I actually survived longer while the targeting system was not destroyed than when it was destroyed. It was a minimal test, but I did 4 attempts ith the system still active, and 4 attempts with it destroyed, both using emergency shield to get close and particle bursts to take care of missiles (going purely on laser cannons/ion cannons), and only flew at 45% engine thrust while making the laziest "maneuvers" you could make (swaying side to side, slow 180 turns)... Despite the limited extent of the test, I find myself wondering what the targeting system actually does based on these results. Apparently I have just been strangely lucky when it comes to flying close to capital ships in online cap ship matches.
      (edit) Ok, yes, disabling the targeting system does actually reduce fire rate and accuracy of turrets, but if that small test was anything to go off of, the effect is rather... minimal, compared to the other subsystems (losing the shield subsystem completely removes that regenerating layer of defense, and power systems opens up weak-points on the ship to deal good chunks of damage to it with a few well placed blaster shots). It feels weird that the effect isn't more immediately noticeable, but then again, I could just need to run a lot more than 8 trials to get a better sense of the effect.

Hopefully people understand roles more and get better because honestly people who use x or a wings and the tie versions of that kinda don’t do the job they have to do (get enemies off bomber and support/obj.) and as well with bombers and supports not being able to do their damage or just support.
