Anvil F8C Lightning after 2 months of Ownership + Weapon Loadouts

Published 2024-01-23
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.

  • 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

    Been really enjoying an 8x FL-22 setup lately.

    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!
  • 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
  • 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.

    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!😁

    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.
  • @BattleBorn13
    I fly with 2x DR Model-XJ3 Repeaters and 6x NDB-28 Repeaters. The size 3 Distortions make a ton of difference.
  • @user-vv3mq9el7f
    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.
  • @xotx4291
    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!
  • @C0Y0TE3
    There is something relaxing and therapeutic about running an op ship and destroying the competition.... tears of joy
  • @oldman1111
    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
  • @RobertoLaurelli
    A hybrid of 4 each deadbolt and FL22 would possibly make a lot of sense.
  • @j.d.4697
    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?
  • 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.
  • @SatoriSoul
    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.
  • @sverrejk93
    my f8c has a bug, i can only fit it with 7 weapons, "weapon slot 2" is greyed out. Anyone know whatsup with that?
  • @jmacc2331
    What are you using for the quantum drives and all that?
