Try a tank out and you'll notice really quickly.

If you think the EYE3 already breaks really quickly on a biped, try it out on a tank. It'll break so much sooner. Hahah.

So yeah... on tanks, definitely equip heads that have proven to last long. [/quote:ba75c31811]
No, I know that heads in general break easiest when on tanks... but my real question was if the Eye3 and the Spider specifically broke any faster than the others?

If so, what heads don't break easily? I haven't really gotten into trouble with heads on bipeds, save for the occasional disaster with the Queen. I guess I only noticed legs and cores breaking because they do it so quickly.

Try it out for yourself... in the hundreds of matches that Maitreya and I have played, EYE3 consistently breaks or gets damaged no matter what leg type it's on.

I dunno about SPIDER on bipeds... but on tanks, it breaks just as easily as EYE3.

And yes, there are parts that take longer to break than others. It's some kind of hidden stat in LR.

Based on my observations, parts that have outstanding stats, such as EYE3, DINGO2, FA, COUGAR2, all tend to break more quickly. I guess making these parts break more easily was FROM's idea of balance. Screwy if you ask me.

I haven't tested all the heads but I'm sure that both EYE3 and SPIDER both break easily. The ones I've tried that seem most durable are S4, DRONE, EYE4, S2.

While we're on the subject of tanks, here's how I and Mix pilot them
