The first match perfectly showcases what i was talking about some videos ago in the comments, the people who disagreed with me are simply in denial. I too like the game but i am not delusional.
Did those random Rippers embedded in the ground around 3:40 tear the whole Flagship off or did they clip the frame? I know melee dmg ignores pass-thru, but the Flagships still have melee resistance (they should have none tbh), so it's hard to believe they just fell off so easily from running into the Ripper blades.
surely thanatos is better, bc ur unpoppable and by the end of the match u can turn ur cab and have a 1.2k healing generator protecting it (Although u get less cab dura in the first place).
