Shentzen and Yamantau - that's the reason why Natasha's still are seen in gold tier.

Shentzen is my least favorite map becaause even the slowest mech with a mid-range setup can make into firing positions in under 45 seconds. I hate this map because its small size and configuration rewards pilots for poor bot choices and EVERYONE can get into the action.

Yamantau is just slightly under 60 seconds for even a cannon Tasha to make it into firing position. I'd have to say that I've been killed enough times by dual long gun or motar Tashas too many times to count on Yamantau, so they do work.

When you combine these "acceptable" into action times, Tasha is basically free, and the fact that they do work once they are in fairing positions, you get pilots even in gold teir still using them - even if they only have 4 bot slots.
