Anvil F8C Lightning after 2 months of Ownership + Weapon Loadouts

- So i had Anvil F8C Lightning for over 2 months now. This is amazing ship. At first I thought it is overpowered but I was wrong. It is powerful but also very nicely balanced. Even if you have 8 guns they are small in size and when armor comes in game they will not be so powerful. Ship has some more drawbacks that we will discus in video. Also as a + or bonus I will use 4 of my favorite weapons loadouts.
Have fun Citizens.
If you planning to play Star Citizen for the first time you can use my code: STAR-WN52-45MV to get extra 5000 UEC in game, which is very helpful in the beginning of Star Citizen.

Been really enjoying an 8x FL-22 setup lately.
I fly with 2x DR Model-XJ3 Repeaters and 6x NDB-28 Repeaters. The size 3 Distortions make a ton of difference.
O that is the setup I have to try NDB 28 and 30.
You're better off using the size 2 distortions and size 3 laser repeaters. The difference in damage between a size 2 and size 3 distortion is only like 8 additional damage IIRC. Check Erkul to see.
Got my F8C Lightning last October. Was trying to find tickets in bunker missions, but haven’t seen any yet. Goal was to give ticket away to anyone that doesn’t have a F8C. Good video.
Thanks mate. Yeah I have given the fee myself. Hopefully more people can have fun with it.
yeh theres a ton of bugs that they never seem to fix, like the invisible shots being fired from hammerheads or 890s. no shots fired, but youll see your shields drop to 0 and lose weapons.
repeater ballistics are useless until s5. s4 is usable....but s5 is realistically where it needs to be for ammo...so if they just RE-ADD the 0, then half the guns will stop being paperweights....cig hates us.
I discovered you recently. Like your vibe and your work, keep up !
@@bizzylotto Thanks mate, glad I can be of service. o7
@@infinitespace239 Thanks to you ! Can I ask for Deadbolt build ; why only 2X S3 ? I will try this loadout rn, but where did you attached the 2 S3 ?
@@bizzylotto Don't remember exactly, but I use now all deadbolts on this thing it is amazing. If you want mixed use 4x s3 deadbolts and 4 s2 omnisky or Attritions
4x s3 and 4 s2 best Power, I don't know why I have put 6xs2 maybe mistaken
Man, I swear... 3 hours later is about right! I fought an 890 last night that must have taken a solid 10 minutes to kill in my F8C with Attritions. There's usually never time to really tire from a fight but that 890 had shields of kryptonite!
Yeah really annoying to kill hehe . But that's how it should be, it is after all a capital ship.
Got mine because of my concierge level 😂. I do like the ship but recently started to use it. Been lookimg for a good loadout to use for it. Great video!
Nice 🙂 thanks mate.
There is something relaxing and therapeutic about running an op ship and destroying the competition.... tears of joy
Yeah , you just relax and have fun 😊.
4 dist and 4 laser. 1 salvo on target and they can't even shoot back anymore
Yeah but it takes a lot of time. Check my previous video.
@@infinitespace239 Sure. But I think the F8C isn't good for ships with s3 shield, at least not solo. Maybe in atmo where those big ones have trouble turning you'll have a better advantage but in space only with a full ballistic cannon load-out and you're extremely skilled and do proper sub targeting. I think it's more of a medium fighter than a heavy one.
@@MrFWStoner Size 3 shield no problem, size 4 like 890 jump no chance. I lost about an hour to bring it done nothing happened.
@@infinitespace239 Personal preference I guess. If I have to take on anything with s2 x2 shield or greater I dust off the ol' inferno. Good times! :)
@@MrFWStoner O yeah 👍 Inferno is beast.
After what seemed forever I finally found 2 tickets
I stumbled across one not knowing what it was.
Now I'm considering buying it
@@Grandude77 it fun I used in store credit to get one I would recommend
you redded up the center of that HH quick. Just think if you took that loadout as part of a wing or duo of pilots. The punch on those ballistics would finish that quick. :D
I just got my F8C and the stock guns are just amazing, as you showed in the first part they are devastating. But you will run out of ammo, just have to leave and rearm.
Insane price for a fighter, reclaimer is not much more and then you can buy many many ships in game easy.
Nice was fun to watch.
For a couple days now, I've been messing around with a half distortion half repeater load out and have been having a lot of fun, very efficient too
Thanks. They are nice but if you get an 890 jump you can't kill it. Check my last video you will see.
@@infinitespace239 I've been able to disable NPC and player sub caps, handy tip if you didn't know, distortions cause like a 30m splash damage effect. Which is why if you are close to something you are shooting you can hit your own shield. So, once their shield facing are down on one side, on those larger ships, if you know roughly where the components are supposed to be located you can do a manual aim and shut them down pretty quick. And cooler locking a ship is more dangerous than just EM locking it. The ship turns itself off for protection, and will stay turned off for around 10 minutes if it's a larger ship. There was a player in a sentinel trying to EMP others last night, and I had him disabled in about 20 second with just half distortions. I felt very justified. And then I just left him on the moon haha, "think about this, next time to try to EMP others" was all I said haha
@@shanebellinger8922 Nice, thanks for the tips. 🥰
Yep. That's my loadout too. I do quite a bit of PvP bounties so repeaters make more sense than cannons, and I have died to heavy-distortion loadouts
May I offer a piece of video editing criticism?
You made the music rather loud, yet speak/record rather quietly, making you a bit difficult to understand.
I believe either raising your own volume, speaking with more intensity or just lowering the volume of the music a bit would help greatly with the quality of your audio.
Thanks for the tip mate, always good to hear feedback. When I edit on my main PC it is ok, but when I listen on my laptop or phone, the music is too loud. I LL lower the volume.
Have a nice day 😊
Have only tried an all-Attrition Repeater load out, I love it but it's not for everyone (I also switched to Rattler 2s for missiles,) this was my first loadout instead of default, there is still desync and the bloody pip likes to go off target from time to time so Ballistic weapons though good run out too soon for my playstyle.
Yeah, sadly I saw in master mode ballistic has much more ammo. Hopefully in 3.23 we get that too
Ballistics nerfed in the last patches ? haven't seen any differences ? I fact I got deactivated by a Saber in my Corsair without having shield lower than 80% and no redzone at all, he was just spraying all over my Corsair, front back middle and a lot in the air and my ship just turned off x) was pretty surprised by this murderhobbo too
I have not seen it in the patch, but sawback seems not as strong as before. Deadbolts are still the same.
If I'm going PvE, then it's laser cannon. If I'm going PvP, then laser repeater. Especially with server desync, you can't rely on on having enough rounds with ballistics.
Someone here gave great suggestions, 4 deadbolts and 4 laser canons. That is good security for desync.
Hi and Thak U for this awesome video!!!! Totally liked that U tested out all those different weapons on the F8! Now would I buy it? Nope!!! sorry but for my gameplay and my RL wallet it is to high a price for the ship, all though it is a great looking medium/heavy fighter!!!
Keep bringin these kind of vids please, testing different loadouts!! Never seen others do it, and changing the loadouts, just writing about it, and showing charts!!! Big Thanks! Cheers
Thanks mate, yeah you are right, ship is only optional you can have the same fun in anything that is powerful as f8c like inferno and Ion.
my f8c has a bug, i can only fit it with 7 weapons, "weapon slot 2" is greyed out. Anyone know whatsup with that?
Yes, you have to take off size 3 weapon from the top of the ship and put turret and then 2 size 2 weapons.
Great Vid! I think the ships looks awesome. Wondering how it would do with 2 of the distortion weapons, and the remaining weaps the FL cannons. I would love to fly it beyond the 24 hour rental, as I did get a golden ticket. However, I have decided to pass on the purchase. The price is to high, and like you indicate in your video, though totally fun, you can also get the same level of fun with other ships. It is true that I won't have this unique ship, unless I one day complete S42, but I am ok with that! I'll just watch more great vids from you!😁
Yeah, nice decision you will not miss too much. As said Ares is even better and it is in the game. If you have some ships pledged that you don't drive or gear laying around consider melting it and get the ship.That is what i did lol. Also join my discord you can take it from me for spin when ever I don't use it.
I would pass on suckerpunch canons lower dps. Only if you want to board npcs ships. Check my previous video.
I think there must be some kind of ballistic damage bugs at the moment. I see and experience both extremes, either not even being able to kill a single ship with an entire magazine, or killing one in seconds.
Or maybe you have to get lucky and keep hitting in the exact same spot?
I think it is nerfed or bug because with dedbolts you can waste really fast any ship.
You do a good job in the feel of your videos. As you already know, server de-sync can sometimes provide AI ships with "plot armor" where they stop taking damage for a period of time. I feel it also sometimes works in your favor, where the projectile is maybe getting counted more than once per hit, resulting in very quick kills against hulls where the math doesn't add up if you compare damage to health stats, though this is just an assumption on my part.
Keep up the combat practice and I think your channel can go far, a lot of players just want to see someone give quick honest loadout tests.
Thanks mate. Yeah could be that, I noticed same thing.
A hybrid of 4 each deadbolt and FL22 would possibly make a lot of sense.
Yeah, that is a good suggestion. Fast kill and ammo to spare.
mic is too loud
Thanks for the tip.
Would you recommend picking this beauty up?
Depends, if you want currently unique ship, also amazing and beautiful and you are not afraid to invest YES. But be aware it is not perfect. My advice melt something you don t use and try it. You wont regret.
Well you can buy it in game just not until Squadron 42 is released. The dev's have said it will unlock in game once you clear SQ42. That's a ways off though and it's an amazing heavy fighter to have in the mean time.
What are you using for the quantum drives and all that?
VK00 size 1 quantum drive you can get it on orison, shield 2x2 fr 78 on orison
Umm, FR76s ya mean?@@infinitespace239
E super video, akazi mi jeli sad sa novim patchem nerfovan? ja nasao golden ticket i nije mi djavo dao mira nego ga kupih :) Ali imam samo 7 guns a vidim ti imas 8 , imam 3 fl33 i 4 fl 22 ?
Hvala, uuui čestitke, nije nerfovan uvijek će imati 8 jer mu je ime f8. Šta ti se desilo je ko i meni umjesto turret gdje stoji stavio si jedan size 3 gun, skini, postavi turret I moći 8 komada biti 2 size 3 I 6 size 2
@@infinitespace239 jbg zajebo sam kanda i ne mogu sad nikako da skontam kako da stavim 8 guns, moracu sledeci patch da cekam :)
@@mikiveliki5192 Napraviti cu short pa ces vidjeti kako. Ne brini.
@@infinitespace239 Super, a jesi video kako je jedan tip montirao 10 topova?
Thanks!
Thanks for the support my friend 🥰
I hate how much of a pup-stomper this ship is.
The lower the skill of the pilot and their opponent, the stronger this ship, because it's superior at face-tanking (as shown in the video) but not at maneuverability, which is what skilled pilots want instead.
This puts it square into the crosshairs of complaints by all the bad pilots (at least the ones who don't own the ship) and potentially into the crosshairs for undeserved nerfs which will most likely make it more balanced among bad pilots but useless among skilled pilots.
I don't think so, for me it is just another ship to have fun. For me my favorite part is the look, really nice but it is not so op. As said in the video , Inferno is much better and in PVP Anvil Arrow will wipe the floor with you in F8C.
@@infinitespace239
Not when both pilots just sit there and eat all the shots like you do.
@@j.d.4697 lol yeah i am not playing PVP too much, but still I think when a skilled player with f8c face skilled anvil arrow player, anvil arrow will win 8 out of 10.
So what is the best load out? Feels like default is the best?
Best is 4 FL 22 and for deadbolts, 2 size 2 and 2 size 3 but deadbolts on wings .
love your videos brother!! do you have a discord?? also i use 2 lvl 3 distortions and 2 level 2 distortions plus 4 badgers on my f8c
Thanks mate, yes I have made a server so we can all play together I LL make a post with lik later today.
YO, why distortions ? For the pvp ?
@@Ez0X_9S That is a setup for boarding NPCs ships. At least for me. Check my last video.
@@Ez0X_9S yes pvp mostly but works well with pve too. I’ve handle group ERTs no problem
