[If you want to hang out in SS for 6 months, by all means use that 4L Apache with 2 HMGs all ya want.

Ah... I didn't say anything about hanging around SS. The proposed design works even better down south because the smaller MMGs (not HMGs) afford many more reloads, which are vital for dealing with the return encounters so common to southern towns. The smaller weapons also mean more speed with a common 4L, making the 3.2lv8 superfluous (though still appealing).

Planning to fail is not good business.

Depending on common gear instead of rarer gear doesn't mean you have a pessimistic outlook on your chances of success... It's a valid playstyle, certainly not to be disregarded because it's less flashy. I'll take on your fancy CC Apaches any day. And win.

Also, using common gear has absolutely no incidence on the likelihood of encountering rare gear: the Apaches you are so quick to dismiss draw Buzzers and other rare chassis in GW on a regular basis.

Good points Groove. Never said anything about the lower gear not drawing out good pirate equipment. My point was it is easier to win with good gear. I personally would not like to face the odds and equipment down south with MMGs. But to each their own. I'm sure it can be done, but I prefer the good stuff which in my opinion protects your gangers better, whcih is the bottom line for me.

I'd just like to say that I'd like Tango to repost his vehicle set up from the first post so that in future us noobs can read through this post and see all the builds that we can use as options later on as we gain experience.

I apologize if this is off the subject too much, but if I am not mistaken, HRR uses Gunner and not Large Guns skill.

You are mistaken

HR and HR use large guns. I suspect this is the reason many people seem to think their accuracy is a lot worse than it really is.

johnny - for me, getting the skill (player more than ganger, but both help) to solo effectively was where my gang really started to take off. I still solo SS most days in the same cars I started with. Originally they were a pair of landies with front HGG/RL and rear gat, but there have been a few changes since then.

Thank you Wolf! Considering that a forum post informed me as the the HR skill being gunner, it's only reasonable that I get the correction from the forum as well.
