So I'm always trying to improve so I thought I would try the Panther leader board. I burned out after the first day and a half. I learned alot about piloting a panther and that was awesome. What builds are you guys using because I'm capping out around 450 - 620 dmg and 2 -3 kills with the occasional rare 5 kill game. What are you guys running that you have 2500+ scores in the boards. I've played against some guys doing like 700-800+ in a panther. That blows me away. Thx to all This is what I run
My build is about the same as yours. I get a bit up the leaderboards with the peak battles that bump the score a bit.
SirHitmans build is very good and runs cooler than the 2ERPPCs. With the 10K you really are limited to a couple of builds, for CW, 2ERPPC, for leaderboard, you're better off with 2SRM4s.
I've been using this build. It's more consistent for me than the ERPPC and SRM builds. I just started the challenge last night, but my best game so far is 6 kills and ~500 dmg. I haven't lost the RA in a game yet, but I did lose one laser due to a crit hit one time.
Its nice to know people are runnig pretty much what I"m running. I dabble with that 2x LPL build as well. I guess I just need ti improve as a light pilot is all. I will get there in time. Thx all. We should all group up sometime.
I am using xl250, 2 mpl, 2ams (2 tons ammo), 2 srm4 (3 tons of ammo), 1 JJ, mpl cool down, srm4 cool down, radar dep, adv seismic, imp 9x9 cool, and imp artillery strike. Always dropping in PUGlandia, this is the best game I have had so far with this build. #11 on the PNT-10K(R) leader board as of this post Long time lurker, 1st time poster!
That is truly amazing. What is your play style. Are you focusing on MPL or SRM or are you trying to use all your ammo and then pulse as much as you can.
Always be moving, 1 JJ for directional stutter steps, Use the srms and mpls until i dump the srm ammo and just use the mpls. torso twist like mad and show my left side until i cant take another hit there them give them the right until they die (or i do lol). Cool shot for a long fight when I dont have time (or room) to cool down.
I got to 160th using dual ER-PPC. Judging by this thread, that would be why I didn't do so well! lol My best match was about 4 kills and 700 dmg, but you are heat heavy and can often only fire 4-6 shots before you need to stop..
Thx kingiron. Looks like I will finish the challenge at #40. I'm going to think about what you said and see if I can incorporate it into my play style.
I got knocked down this morning, couldn't pilot anything to save my life! Not enough coffee in the universe! PNT RANK 14 ENF RANK 37 GHR RANK 75 ZEU RANK 95
