Before Pixonic depowered the Aphids, a Patton with 3 of them and an Ecu worked. You'd just turn shield to absorb a hit while reloading.

Now, every bot with Pinatas will come right up to you and get a free kill on you. I don't know if you ever used the Aphids, but they frequently miss ALL their missiles against a moving light bot. Heck, it will even miss a majority of the missiles against a medium bot that is moving.

That being said, if you feel you MUST use an Aphid, may I suggest the 3 Aphids on a Gepard instead? You'll get the same firepower as the tri-Aphid/Ecu Patton and the Gepard has the speed to duck out or outrun return fire.
