Now can Jim outbattle Scott and Remy at the same time?
The battle ground is on an aircraft carrier and WM cannot fly outside the radius of the carrier. He cannot reach altitudes too high where as Cyclops or Gambit cannot reach. WR has one handicap and that is he doesn't have his targetting system to help him pinpoint his attacks.
I was thinking the same. Without a targeting system, who knows if he could even hit the duo? I mean, you ask an airforce pilot to dead-center a missile at four miles without a targeting system? You're asking for trouble.
Now if it's a naval aviator, on the other hand....
Nice to see someone on the same page as I am on this one. I purposely stated no targeting because of course it would be a slaughter but when you have to lock on moving targets while taking evasive aerial maneuvers, the team all of a sudden has a huge handicap to take advantage of. Scott is no fool as a leader and Gambit is not a stupid fighter. They both have peak to above athletic abilities.Think about this one folks
one more thing. Can Cyclops use his beams in a surgically precise fashion? Never saw it done but does he have such mastery over his mutant abilities?
If so, technically a well placed optic blast right between those eye slits in WM's helmet and can you say lobotomy or "Oh shit I'm blind"
What Cyclops can see he can hit. Cyke basically has first drop advantage.
Furthermore WM is not allowed to fly 'too high,' and thus he is within visual sighting range of Cyclops.
Cyclop's optic blasts can reach a pretty high intensity.
WM doesn't have a targeting system.
The question is this, how good are Cyke's shields? Because ti appears that Cycke will get the first shot, and being a KMC match this shot will be a pretty vicious one.
How good are WM's shields, because if they are not then Cyke would win this (Gambit would just be background decor).
Rhodes has a slight chance if he has a shield. Really depends which Gambit this is nd how powerful. Cyclops is quicker in his attack. WM should prevail with shields.
oK BUT a wide spread optic blast disintegrates whatever projectile coming at you. Cyclops can easily broaden the range of his blast to destroy any bullets coming at him. Oh and Remy can just charge those bullets and chuck them at WM
Its a tough call, because you have taken away the very things that Warmachine needs to be able to beat them conclusively.
I can't help think though that X force took it to Warmachine even when he had his targeters, Rictor gave him some huge problems.
Cyclops is WM's biggest threat here, he can use that optic blast in so many ways, WM needs to close with them and take it to them h2h.
Unless hes allowed to just blast the carrier and sink it? target that big at close range, he doesn't need his targeter to hit it, Cyclops and Gambit drown.
As far as Cyclops' surgical precision, he has (many times) done the likes of putting a hole through a quarter, or ricocheting his optic beam off of many surfaces in order to hit someone.
The carrier cannot be touched because essentially its the battlefield. I also know that WM has such a huge arsenal of offensive weapons, that he can prove to be a serious problem for the team AND I have given him flight capabilities although restricted. The team can really work in unison using their athletic prowesses to use WM's handicap to their advantage.
Thing is though, if the carrier can't be touched then WM, can't fire his weapons, without targeters, Gambit especially is going to be able to dodge more effectively and if WM, misses he damages the Carrier.
His best tactic is to close with Cyclops and get rid of the visor, then take it to Gambit, keep it close range where he can use his strength and take Gambit out of the picture.
Even then Gambit may be able to charge his armour up, keeping airborne and shooting wild isn't a tactic thats going to work well.
As has been said Cyclops can hit him with a precision blast and end the fight real quick.
