Heads

[Black Dragon]

Durability of heads on Heavyweights, tank ACs namely, should really be taken into consideration.

You don't want too look helpless when your radar goes out and your stability to lower.

Durability is an issue, but tanks generally have the hardest time keep heads intact because their heads are generally shot more because of people's DFA tactics, but it cant really be helped.

As for the radar, since all tanks generally sport two back weapons, one the head is gone, so is the radar, tis a shame. lol.

Mhmm.. But there are heads that last long, even when equipped on tanks. Based on experience, Drone, Eye4 and SR2 are very durable, and can go well with tanks.

[Crimson]

Im not saying there arent good heads for tanks, but I was saying that generally heads on tanks break faster because they are usually shorter in stature than the likes of Bipeds. Same could go for Quads imo.

What do you mean by that?

Addresses to whom?

RACHIS and S4 too.

However you definitely don't want EE to be your head

RACHIS? You mean the SPIDER?

NO!!! If you're using a tank, definitely AVOID THAT HEAD. It blows up like halfway through a match.

Yes, heads like S2 and S4 do last on tanks, but generally, you wouldn't wanna use a radarless head on a tank because you want guns on both back mounts.

That's weird, it lasts on mine (though I admit it's more fragile than S2)

[wanzerfreak]

i may have stumbled across something:

s4 and s2 might be the better basic S-series heads in the game, but these two are quite fragile with the s4 being the most delicate.

the s3 is incredibly sturdy that your core or legs would break before this thing does.

[NiX]

Really? I don't think I've ever seen the S2 or S4 break... I probably don't use them enough

But that doesn't seem unlikely, because like I said before, from what I've noticed, FROM's idea of balance for LR was with part-breaking... all the parts that stand out too much seem to break faster than everything else. (ex. DINGO2, JAGUAR2, FA, GAZELLE, EYE3, etc)

are you sure about that? I've seen the Cougar2 break plenty of times in battles, but I have never seen the s4 break in a match before.

Im guessing thats because the legs are generally a larger target then heads are making them easier to hit multiple times.

Like when someone is in the air and it hit from below, its their legs that are hit and damaged.

In DFA tactics, I notice that the Core and even the legs are hit before the head is. Im not saying the head doesnt get hit, just less often than legs.
