Sorry ‘JustAnotherNickname’, I didn’t get a chance to respond to your Gekko vs Trebuchet comment. Short answer: I was using level 9 equipment for my original damage estimates.

Kang (level 9) 9007 damage 15sec/reload Trebuchet (level 9) – 13,220 damage, 3sec/reload. (23 sec/full reload strength) Gekko (level 9) 1940 damage 11sec/reload
 * (Gekko 1 salvo * 1940 per round = 9700) 9700*2 Gekko’s=19,400 total damage

I hear your point about needing to hit on every Gekko shot to get the full damage affect. That said, I think it’s also fair to say that Treb’s or Kang’s may not always hit their targets either. In that case the pilot gets zero or fractional splash damage vs 5 (salvo) opportunities to hit the target with the Gekko.

The Gekko’s may technically inflict more damage but the energy weapons seem to draw a lot of unwanted attention for the red pilots. I believe that has as much impact on pilot strategy as pure damage. I will keep experimenting with the two builds but I’m still slightly in favor of the 2 Kang & 2 Gekko Natasha build over the 3 Kang Fury. I will revisit the math and strategy when I get a chance to upgrade the weapons.
