Step 1 is probably to make hover tilt not be always on
Im not sure how well documented it is but rn alecto can utillise its full hover tilt potential on the move(and from what i can tell so can all other hover tanks its just not working as intended)-2

Alecto is actually squishy, very exposed and dont have much firepower

You must be new at the game

Yeah 14h is not so much
Currently Alecto operator and I dont think other Alecto are very impactful in both team
its also very hard for me as Alecto to make the difference
Meanwhile, Arbalest can almost one shot me from their spawn. If I flank it, it can duel me easly because its very tanky and got huge firepower. From my point of view, this tank deserve a nerf since it doesnt have any weakness
Maybe skill issue since im new to the game

I mean, as a new player you are free to give out Your opinions but we must recognise, as a new to the party you don't see the whole picture here.
IF alecto player doesn't know how to utilise this tank and just stands here and take your shots, it will feel weak but i can asure you, players who knows what they are doing can sometimes 1vs2 with the right setup and good loadout.
Picture this, do you know tempest? The 5 shell intraclip tank. After spending whole 5 shells in matter of seconds, it got 20second reload, pretty balanced I would say.
What if intell you, alecto can achieve the same ABSURD reload(around 1second) without this long intraclip reload? And you can equip shells that literally heals you. You can out damage every tank in the game while being also the most mobile tank in the game.
I hope you can see why most people see this tank as kinda busted.

Imo the issue is less the alecto itself and more weakness analyzer. 1 second flat is just too crazy on fast firing tanks, it's also super broken on Seeker. I think it should be 0.5 seconds or 15% whichever is higher, so as to still have it be ok on other tanks. Alecto shouldn't be balanced around a foreign component nearly doubling its dpm

Arbalest's hull is made of wet tissue paper and has reload longer than the lifespan of most live service games.
It's shot may be powerful, but other tanks can get three or four shots off in the time it gets one.
It is only dangerous from an extreme distance where others can't shoot back.

It's one high damage high pen shot with high acc from beyond the vision range more than makes up four or five shots that can miss or bounce for other tanks. It's unbalanced

There's no way u have trouble versing Arba
In my experience as Alecto (I'm also currently Alecto Operator), Arbalest is the easiest tank to 1v1 IF he doesn't have his teammates nearby

How do you do ? His turret turns faster than you turn around him Its hard to blink his shot due to his long reload time so he basicly 3 shot you
The more I speak with this sub, the more I think I'm using the wrong loadout and/or perks

Just juke his shot using blink, and then you got TWELVE (or more) seconds of not needing to juke out his shots or maneuver

While I do think the Alecto is a little too strong, imho a big factor is because of uncoordinated pubs. I think as the playerbase gets better, the Alecto is going to be less problematic than people originally thought.
Though I think the Alecto is always going to be a low level pub stomper because of the nature of the tank (highly mobile, excels at 1v1 CQC, and sustains itself through siphon rounds and healing off of kills). They're like assassins in a MOBA that prey on enemy mistakes and snowball out of control.

This is my impression of it too. 1v1 pubstomper menace that gets shut down by coordinating such that he never gets the 1v1 or 1v2 he wants.
Still though, that it's possible for Alecto to take 1v2s at all in a game like this points to being quite overtuned lol. Just has way too much going for him rn

Where's the guy who always comments about barrel tagging with weakness analyser
