Not bad. At least you've tried to do something. But it would be better and more interesting, if you bring some more expertise to analyze the different configs and tactics which may be applied with the different versions of Phract.

As Phract-addicted unit-leader, who's basing the whole companies on the Phract chassis only, i can say - this chassis has a HUGE potential and being properly configured(and of course - with a damn good pilots) can easily beat the companies of Assaults(with or w/o ECM D-DC).

And the most thing i(but not only me) love in it - it's a speed and the freedom of maneuver.

Here is some videos from random matches. Sorry, i'm not gonna show you my latest and exclusive configs and unit tactics with Phract setups - but it's more than enough for begginers to understand this chassis and start to spread the Death in the random matches, using the strong sides of the different versions of Phract.

3D: The Lone Ambusher


2X: Direct mid/close combat


3D: Behind the Enemy Lines / Reaping an LRM Atlas


3D: Another reap of LRM Atlas


P.S. BTW, 4X is the most uninteresting version - i run it, i have it, i rock with it, but...it's too slow for me, for my pilots and for my merc-companies. But anyway - any Cataphract ROCKS!!!

The Phract has been the best chassis for me, but has lost a lot of its ability to brawl and in-fight due to the model flaw and subsequent lateral arm range reduction. That has single handedly been the biggest drawback with an otherwise very capable design.

It can't bring the biggest punch in the game, but its damage to armor to speed ratio is spot on with where I like to be.

Exactly, Aegis.

Hey, nice flank maneuver in that video of yours. Always impressed to see real-world tactics applied in a game (and never surprised to see the tried and true ones end up successful)

"3D not sure what you can do with that. Probably not much."

LOL.

One of the only heavy mechs used extensively in competitive play.

Not sure what you can do with that.

Really.

The 3D CTF has multiple builds that are amazing, they will be even more amazing when Jump jets are buffed.

Yep. When I really want to play with a design, the 3D is the one I keep returning to. GR jump sniper. PPC jump sniper, UAC5 skirmishier, AC10 brawler, the 3D really has a lot going for it.
