    I don't use weapons on newer/lower ranking players because I feel like if I win those races, it is more legitimate. When I am racing superior pilots, weapons are the only chance I have.

    That said, I still never use plasma or cannons.

    I always use weapons, because:

    Against good players, it's my only chance of winning.
    Hitting with a plasma, can really change the outcome of a race.

    And against bad players, I give them one chance to win against me, by trying
    to destroy them till the very end of the race.

    I usually take it as it comes making sure to make best use of the pickups on track. It also depends on who i'm racing, as higher ranking players need a bit of a shove to get out of the way

    Im sure somone must have noticed that if i die in a race, its often not only just once
    Me too. I completely blast away. I don't BR that much but as far as artillery goes it's balls to the wall.

    My racing tactics :

    - Shoot only the leader
    - play defensive against the leader's chasers, don't slow them down
    - Use bombs and mines only if Im 1st
    - Quake everybody

    Oshoot first

    keep shooting

    be great. With the machine cannon.

    Mines n bombs are a waist for last use.

    I shoot those down n then shoot u. Making iu look rediculous for trying it.
    Made some body online mad n he called in help. Even his help were shot down. When i used full breaks to rear end into a icuras. Leave the bomb close to us. We both got hit. But i lived

    im about 50/50. i think im pretty handy with weapons, and if i get a good shot i am going to take it. then again, dying almost always means loss, so i keep my energy above a certain threshold. i also tend to use shields instead of absorbing them because a quake or lapped bombs could always be around the corner.

    i like to place the bombs on speed pads and then swerve all over the place to to cover the width of the track in mines (which i imagine is probably quite annoying ). when i get in the lead i generally absorb anything that isn't a speed boost and just focus on hitting those speed pads.

    I don't use weapons at all.

    Turbos and shields are ok but I don't like using weapons at all it slows me down. I like focusing on the actual racing you know?

    My best tactics, besides using the AG-Systems and Icaras fury ships, is for me to pick the best Fury ship that suits certain tracks well and end up in 3rd, 2nd or 1st and the Weapons, making sure it won't be against you.
