In this episode of Tested, Torque 17 flies the Hornet F7C Ghost, a stealthy ship known for its defense capabilities. The ship is particularly effective against the overpowered cross-section missile, making it an even playing field in combat. Torque’s favorite weapons are the Mantis GT 220, which has the highest DPS in the game, and the Nine Series Longswords. The Longswords have higher damage per round but lower DPS due to their slower fire rate. Torque discusses the details of each weapon, including range, muzzle velocity, and ammo capacity.
During gameplay, Torque demonstrates the most effective way to use this ship and loadout in Arena Commander. He avoids head-on combat with opponents using higher DPS loadouts and instead seeks out targets that are not paying attention. Torque relies heavily on the mantises for damage, as the Longswords have lower DPS. He showcases various combat situations, including taking on a Vendetta and a 325, where cockpit shots and maneuvering play a crucial role in securing kills.
Torque also discusses the ineffectiveness of this loadout for mouse and keyboard users, as the weapons are not gimballed properly. The loadout is best suited for joystick users. In the end, Torque finishes the match with a score of 11 kills and 3 deaths, showcasing the effectiveness of the GT 220 mantises in this loadout. He concludes by thanking viewers for watching and encourages them to like and subscribe for more content.
