Hey a little tip for the miranda players.

When you are playing on the mario level, there is something really cool you can do, to save yourself, and get out of hairy situations. You needc to make sure that your miranda has the 180 perk on.

Notice all of the green tubes. (so far i have only been successful at going through the lower one) If you 'land' your miranda on top of the bottom tube, hold direction and then 180 continually you can slip through the tube and to safety, in about 3/4 180's It is really really useful, and has saved my hide in a pickle or two.\

basically you will know it is working, when the Miranda slowly begins to sink lower and lower into the tube, after each 180 you accomplish. Good luck!

Hope this turns out useful.

I suck at writing battlereports, but here it goes for the scrim between fLb and SnM

First game was on The Core. Nothing much to note here really, fLb played the whole game with two mirandas in their lineup at all times, which were just owning shit left and right with their bounce balls. SnM tried desperately to figure out a good counter (only one of us is half way decent at miranda) but to no avail. We managed to take out their front turret, but with their two mirandas working together to cut all of our bomb runs short, we were completely stalled, while fLb slowly but surely got in enough bombs to secure the win.

Second game was on Asteroids. SnM was pretty downtrodden from their complete loss in the previous game, but we quickly tried to pull our shit together and figure out a proper strategy. It seems that while the mirandas were still owning up shit together, they weren't as effective in the slightly more open areas of Asteroids. CSheep was able to get past them enough times with his bomber in order to destroy all but one of fLb's turrets. By the time CSheep managed to destroy the turrets both teams had only managed to take off a sliver of damage from the other teams base. At this point one of our biplanes took up the role as bomb runner and we all began covering him. We went through the middle taking out all of fLb, but unfortunately the bomb was a complete miss despite all enemies and turrets being dead. However keeping our spirits up we took the top route and managed to deliver a bomb for full damage on their base.

Taking a much needed morale boost from this SnM sneaked in a few more bombs reducing fLb's base to just a hair of hp left, before fLb got their strategy together and figured out how to stop us. Then after a long series of failed bomb runs from both sides (but a few successful ones from fLb), fLb managed to score one last bomb and defeat us 2-0

gg guys, you proved that you're not so faggy after all

we were originally going to play bo5...but proleague's on...

In game 2 for half the game we kinda just kill farmed for a bit mindlessly, the k/d ratios in the game were dominantly in our favor. We however forgot about the bomb and they ninjaed several runs and got us down to a sliver. We then buckled down and played smart and strategically and got them from half to 0 without another bomb coming close to touching our base.

You guys were so close on asteroids, that last bomb barely drifted past the base.

Some of them dropped during match and had to come back, they only gone like 3 sec didnt affect the match at all, but thats why their kills/deaths so low.

In that respect kuja no, but i have to say that lag was a big overall factor. (for me at least.) I don't know if anyone else was having problems....

Amen to that

After our game on the core I was starting to think that two mirandas might end up being required for organized team play. After asteroids though, I realize that they're not really required...but they still help a damn lot (obviously if the miranda pilots know what they're doing

)

Edit: btw on that picture, in sheep's defense he got most of those deaths from hunting down turrets.

I think that for a 5v5 team, the best layout would be:

2 mirands: Simply to slay, keep the other team item less, and of course map control
2 bombers: Kill those turrets and to help clear bomb run packs (if they don't have reflectors)
1 Bi plane: Bomb runner. Really that is what the bi plane is made for imo. Ideally the bomber has the long range cannon, and ace upgrades. That way when they are not running bomb, they are trying to steal kills- get upgrades, for a faster and more juiced up plane, to make the run.

I think that items are really under rated in that game. I know that i try and control the items, (i think that some one even complained about it in a game or something lol.) The reflector is imo the essential tool for getting a bomb run in. Simply have the lead bomber / miranda have that thing out plowing through the field and gg.

If the mirands do there job correctly, the bombers should be able to get in some good runs on the turrets. then after that, get the bombers to get reflectors, and lead the charge with the bi plane following.

Yeah, the reflectors are useless in ffa's or pub TBDs, but when used correctly in organized matches they're fucking awesome T.T

Also the key to mirandas I think, is keeping them together. With them being able to constantly 180 and protect each other, it takes a shitload of skill/luck to take them both down.
