Overview
New MiniCraft guide. Here you will learn how to craft a Mortal Danger Carriage… and amuse your enemies! 😀
Introduction
Hello everyone!
Today we have a new T5-T6 guide in MiniCraft! At the last time I did a compact vehicle for T3 and T7 level, and one guy (starfox) was asked me to do the same machine, but for a T5 or T6 matches. Well, I took my pencil, twisted in the hands my blueprints, and began to craft. And I got to create a classy and versatile vehicle for kill your enemies!
Well, get down, sir!
Creation
So, I call this machine a “Condor”, because it is fast, pursues your enemies, and masterfully destroys the victim. Just kidding. Of course not. Condor – it’s a bird, that fly in the mountains, and we have got a single carriage that creeps on the ground and hiding behind heavies party members. Well, then quickly rename it to “Wheelchair of Doom!”
With a name for our machine sorted out. Go to detail. We need:
– 4 truncated cubes T6 (blue)
– 1 truncated cube T7 (yellow)
– 10 triangles T6 (blue)
– 1 half cube T7 (yellow)
– 2 wheels T2
– 2 turbo engine T2
– Radar T5
– Plasma (Howitzer) T9
– Anti-radar T3 (aka Jammer)
– And our funny astronaut
I don’t remember much about it’s worth, but i thinking about 160-170k RP. I did not count as a whole, because we will continue to change our vehicle for different tiers, so that the cost will be different every time. And who actually need these numbers? 😀
1) does the basics of triangles and truncated cubes. here is a trick, if you can not rotate to the desired angle cubes you need added an “extra” cube hanging in the air, and attached main cube to it, and then delete “extra” cube. Sounds complicated, but in fact it is very easy method. generally attach to that wheels and sliders downward like you see on pictures.
That’s how we’ve got. Now, our car produces a very high damage in T6 battles.
I personally went to this setup, because Plasma is more strong. But there are alternative loadouts.
For example.
An alternative embodiment â„–1:
An alternative embodiment â„–2
An alternative embodiment â„–3
I hope you know that if you shoot from smg-laser 1 bullet, when you stand still, bullet flies into the target with 99% accuracy. so you need to pressing LMB the every times, and not holding it, because if you hold LMB… your scatter will be a “catastrophic”.
An alternative embodiment â„–4 (this car is a primary source)
Pros and Cons. Controls
Like a my previous vehicles, our ugly Wheelchair of Doo… ugh, sorry… our Brave “Condor” has its advantages and vulnerability on the battlefield. Look at them.
– High damage from T9 plasma howitzers;
if you have a nice accuracy, of course)
– Good speed;
we certainly, can’t climb on the mountain, because don’t have a power engines, and the weight of carriage is large, but, well-machine rolls over bumps.
– Unexpectedly!
Very often inattentive enemies in turmoil choose more dangerous target, and don’t know, that in the next second, your plasma bullet destroy half of him vehicle!
– Relief;
Relief is our friend! Because every small object on the map, such as a stone, or a “N57 Barrier” on a map can make you invisible for enemies fire, as if the enemy try, he can’t shoot in you. However, you should remember that you need to stand a few meters away from the obstacle/object, since enemy plasma howitzers can hurt you with “splash” damage through the wall.
– Condor not flipped.
In view of the design features, carriage is always on their “feet”. Moreover, we have a two engines, a downward direction, which is pressed against our machine to the ground, and give it incredible stability on any terrain.
– Weak details;
The only solid part we have – T9 Plasma. It can withstand a hit from a lasers. Therefore it is best not to show body and expose only the weapon, peering over the bumps. and indeed, in the open countryside, you risk to die unexpectedly, says… from an accidental bombing.
– Vulnerability against aircraft;
Well, again. all plasma howitzers problem.
– Electro-plates;
At 7 level, many players are starting to use electro-armor. Principle, at level 7, electro-plates are also useless against “carpet bombing”… But! We have only one howitzer!
There were times when I got exactly the plate and it is extinguished damage without causing much harm to the whole structure and simply destroys itself. Plus, it is worth remembering that other players can also put yourself on the board level is higher than you expected.
Why am I so. Have patience. Sometimes it is better to wait for a second, until the target to aggro on your ally tanks. And then you can shoot in enemies “Weak points!” and deal “Mmmmassive damage!”. Or you can shoot in the legs, if the enemy – a spider-mech. This not kill him, but make a almost useless in fight.
– Very strong weapon recoil.
Because of the my design features. T9 plasma howitzer have a high recoil, and knock back our carriage after every shot! Carriage always overturns. But! I foreseen this disadvantage! 😀
Remember the two downward engines? If you hold down the Shift (button), the machine will reject the back of the shot, but it will never turn over. In general, take a rule, you should always keep Shift pressed.
When you can release the Shift button? Never. lol. Shift can be released only when you are traveling in a straight line and don’t shoot. In order to increase the speed of movement. Because you hold shift, the carriage ride a “slightly” slower, but ignores the bumps and obstacles. Overall, in 99% of cases you should always hold shift.
A little bit of Tactics
For effective game, remember a few rules / tips.
1) Stand on the the flank, near with you team. but not very close, cuz you can die very fast
2) If you see the fully armored tank, shoot the legs or wheels. If this hover-bomber, is a good idea to destroy the left (or right) engines, to deployed, or tilt his vehicle. in this position enemy will likely not be able to pick up the plasma barrels on you, while he turn. Use this time to run away and wait a moment for second strike!
3) Due to the weak armor and good damage, better to use hit-and-run tactics.
4) If you see a laser car or sniper, which look in your direction, don’t attack him. Patience. Try to get around to the other side, and before attack, look at the behavior of the enemy. Maybe he sees you on the radar. If yes, and the opponent is not a bad player, he will probably see you and pretend he does not see you, just unscrewing a little gun aside. Thats what we need! Quickly pops out your barrel, shoot, and hide.
5) Do not try to walk with a medic (tech), you will die sooner than he realized repair you. But if enemies destroy your plasma howitzer, then run up to him and ask about repair. Repairs will not take him a long time ;D
6) Don’t forget use “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” shout, if you runaway from enemies xD
Conclusion
Well, that’s it all. Play in RoboCraft, craft your cool and interesting vehicles, and have fun!
In the next guide you will find an armored heavy laser tank – “Lilliput”. I gave him a this nickname, because it not only can kill enemies, but does it with style!
From the eyes of opponents will flow tears of blood, when they will look at you, and do not understand how “this” can killed them in 3 shots >:D
