Talk:EE Aphid/@comment-27829153-20160605100600

Only recently got round to purchasing aphids and I am learning to use them in the traditional way: whack 3 on a Gepard and run around in high bronze tier. I have now got them to level 8 and they do good damage, even to light 'bots.

They are probably the most difficult weapon to learn how to use and even now I have developed some proficiency I still have the occasional salvo just crash into the scenery.

However - these are great fun! Dodging and weaving; curving shots round corners (sometimes successfully); short re-load time. They put a smile on my face even if there are other weapons that do more damage.

Where they really shine is when your target is on a higher elevation than you: they just whoosh up and crash down on them. Stand at the bottom of the ramp on Yamantau and you can hit the enemy guarding the beacon; push forward and you can hit there campers.

A skilled pilot on a fast 'bot can dodge a lot of the missiles, but mostly I find a good hit percentage.

If you have been playing a while and have plenty of Orkans try these guys out for fun and variety.
