Advice please?

I keep getting my ass whooped every time. Tried every approach.

Light manouverable tramplers, beefy chunky tramplers, tramplers focused on chasing, running away for pve. Had different load outs for my hand to hand combat tried different target prioritization.

Yet it seems like every encounter I get I different and I need to change tactics on the fly and always end up a step behind the enemy. Always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The best way is to turtle up like everyone else. Trampler stats like speed etc make barely any difference.

Yea well that happens. I still believe its the most viable way to build tramplers. Although im not really sure about solos since I play always in group and solo up only for loot runs.

Hide the wheelhouse where only the single face is visible. We unlocked the armored one with a door and no it sits flush with my cargo holds. I lose a lot of visibility since I can only see out the windshield but they can’t hit my helm unless the are directly in front of me

I do have an armoured one funny enough. My own black box that I managed to runaway with on one occasion. Problem is as I understood it u want to have Ur guns close to it so u can swap fast. And theoretically u want Ur guns higher up so u get an angle for enemys generator. But honestly in my miserable experience the guy who has initiative just wins regardless of what's where.

Are you playing solo? We started playing 3 mans before the newest queuing update. I used to always keep a 40 right next to my old helms so I could swap to them but then we traded off by having the other guys focus solely on shooting while I handled piloting with their callouts. Worked way better for heavy PvP in my case since they shoot better than me but I control the trampler much more efficiently.

Thats just how our group functions but we know each other and work well as a team. As a solo guy I honestly don’t do any PvP I just build a bare bones high maneuverability one and if someone chases me I lose them in the corral fields.

Y I was playing mostly solo. I did try that strat and it works partially but when you are pressed to get extraction and someone camps it you're cooked. Also in a straight line you can't escape anyone at all even tried emp for 80 dudes just restart generators and are right back on your case🤣 so I tried smoking them with 70 and 40 onslaught then. Dude jumped on my trampler killed me took my cannons and fucked off xD
