Ive only tried a 5L once, seemed a little sluggish (maybe comparable to a 4L pho ?)

Don't listen to me too much, I always use mine with a 5Lv8

I would go by weight

My flanker Phos/Sunrises all weigh approx 3950 to 4100

Get A armour and use MMLs and RLs to skim the weigh

Toughness is "very strong" so instead of full 104 pts , consider somewhere between that and a Pho 84 pts

These are ideas , i don't run flails i admit

I use them with 5L V8's for moving small stuff en crew around Evan.

They are perfect for FL runs.

How skilled do YOU think you are?
That's the question you have to ask, and only YOU can answer it for yourself.

That's an EXPENSIVE car, and to get the performance out of it that you'll need, it's going to take an EXPENSIVE engine.

Seriously, we're talking about a game pricetag that's getting kinda near one mil once you factor in the cost of adding a 5LV8 engine.....

Ya gotta ask yourself, "can I afford to replace both, and if not, how mad am I gonna be if they don't come home from a scout?"

With the exception of the size of the V8, that's EXACTLY what I'm running in a bunch of my Phos....

Got space for something heavier?
If you do, I'd bump up the PDS (Pain Delivery System...heh...) a notch or two.
I'd imagine a Flail's weight will handle heavy weapon recoil a bit better than a Pho will....

I run mine just fine with a 3.2L V8, and full B armor. It's acceleration is fine, the only 'sluggish' part about these cars is they do not perform tight turns. I did run it with the above engine and 2 MMGs for a while and it handled the recoil better then any of the other muscles I've tried have. I also had it at MML/MMG + spike dropper for a while, and it's currently running MMG and RL.

If you're using a gunner, maybe a HGG?
That thing WILL pump out the love...
A HMG at the least...a RL might be a fun thing to stick in there, if blowing things up and turtleing enemy cars sounds appealing...

Or, if you're going to use it as a chaser ONLY, think about a putting a flechette gun in, along with something more substantial.
You have to have a breach for it to really do anything (which is why you NEED the other weapon, to do the chewing), but if you hit a breach, you'll see a LOT of blue text, AND it doesn't screw up the cargo you're trying to...er...."liberate"....

I've got a Buccaneer set up like that, lots of fun, but you need to remember that you just CAN'T linefight with it.
Of course, I had fun with the Vehicle Shotgun too....heh....

Yeah, for a trader chaser, MG/GG + Flechette Gun = World of Good Fun! The FG is so awesome it only takes one or two shots and the occupants are soupy.
I use a buccys/phoe for my trader chasers though.

My flail runs with a 5v8, mmg and a GG... I find it a lil underpowered and would like to find a way to have 2 MMGs, but the loss of the 5v8 would hurt it... stumped.

Maybe you should try a HGG....frees up enough space for a reload for it too.

My Flail I run with a 5L engine (not v8) and two MMGs. Leaves enough room for a gunner and one reload for each MMG. That has worked pretty well for me as a chaser on trader hunts.

Flail is very versatile for loadout. Driving it takes some practice. You have to back off the hammer rolling over dunes.

3.2V8 is fine as a combat car. Can catch or run away from anything except other players.

I have a laser/GG rear and GG front in my trader chaser. 5 GG reloads and gunner. 3.2v8

I use a 3.2 V8 with a HG and CR in the front and a mini rocket pod and mounted ram (testing for ablative armor) in the rear. It works like a mini Apache.
