Those Mamba engines screaming on the initial drop in should've sent those Feds running while they had the chance. It moves like a jaguar. What a killer performance 👏
This was awesome. You're handling is insane. No idea how you can maintain so much control with fa off. Your boost timing as well. I could watch more of this. Please make more.
That was amazing. I'd love to see if you could pull off double shot screening shell frags with how fast you're jousting in that thing. And Fdev, where's our huge frag cannons???
honestly you gave me one of my two new combat goals . I want to do a similar mamba build and a stealth dbscout build . thank you commander ... that looked like a fun fight
Very inspiring video. Great demonstration of how to use the ship. I've faced a similar build in the pass, it is hard to counter-act the speed of its jousts. I was farming conflict zone in a cutter with a crap pitch rate as well :S Only problem I see with frag builds in general, is the low ammo cap forcing you disengage to synth more ammo.
Excellent flying Cmdr, I cannot get the little flick turns you do so gracefully right, I usually overshoot the turn and end up way off target . Also your heat management on the mamba is living proof that the beast can be tamed . Care to share your knowledge?
Considering you went through the mailslot at at least mach 1.5... how do you feel knowing you probably deafened everyone in the space station's docking port?
Loving the videos and dedication to the Mamba, i bought it on release cause its always been my nickname, i'm glad you are doing its design and ability honor with such grace. please keep up the good work, subscribed!
Really nice FA off flying. Something I need to work on. And I noticed you still got plenty of damage with those canons even with most of your PIPs in engines..........
@@bokatan9642 Wow impressive! I havent tried switching of FA before I saw you video and the second I did I crashed my mamba xD I'm still under 200hours of gameplay but really enjoying the flight and fighting. Do you have any tips on how I can improve my flying?
@@bokatan9642 thanks and how do you fly without losing control. when I tried to replicate your movement i would either spin out or just have intense wobbling ik you run with mouse and throttle but I couldn't wrap my head around how smooth the control is with the mouse
I wouldn’t say the mamba is terrible it’s just slightly slower than the FDL. So for quick turns you should thrust diagonally because for some reason you will reach your top speed quicker. This technique only works with FA OFF. Hope this helps 👍🏽
I sold my chieftain even though I have the ship kit for the fragma... worth it 100% I run large overcharged screening shell frags for ammo conservation and small rapid fire grade 4 corrosive and drag munitions to match the screening shell reload time. Also a TLB Huge efficient plasma. All fits with a c5 prismatic nicely with an armored power plant with no heat issues. It's my favorite ship by far and I have flown most of the ships fully engineered
Frags will generally hit even through chaff. Most people use gimballed because the mamba doesn't allow for too much last second correction in its high speed jousting rounds. Overcharged is because of ammo conservation I'd assume, as that's why I chose it for my build. Doubleshot screening shell is more burst dps but you'll be out ammo in no time flat. Hell even with overcharged you still run out fairly quickly...
He's only shooting them when he is close.. The mamba is fast in a straight line but turns poorly. Playing this way he gets close, unloads his dmg, then out of the effective range of their weapons quickly. Rinse and repeat. Most people don't use frags so they need to in effective weapons range for longer to deal their dmg over time. He denies them that
Hi Morgan, sorry for the late reply. I use the following peripherals SCIMITAR RGB ELITE Optical MOBA/MMO Gaming Mouse. Razer Tartarus Pro - Black. G920 pedals for Xbox One and PC. Xbox controller for Windows. (for supercruise)
I have a cheap stick and my roll authority is way higher than my pitch. Every time I try to fight FA-OFF I end up trying to constantly correct my spin. Setting deadzones higher doesn't help. Guess I'll have to get myself a proper HOTAS setup once the prices go back down. My crappy $40 stick is now $200. FFS
Nah man, frags put out so much dps you want screening shell for reload time. An overcharged g5 screening shell frag is 366.2 dps... it rips through shields and hull no matter what. I speak from daily driving a fragma
@@metasequoia3097 its not made for RES and CZ. It's a fast and hard build. I can only kill about 15-20 ships with a full load. Best for assassination missions and PvP. If I'm doing massacre, RES, or CZ I take out the twin C4 plasma slug PA Vette
@@bokatan9642 so wait, you use the mouse as you joystick? How do you switch targets, pips, etc? I'd love to know your bindings! Or a copy of it to check it out myself.
I'd experiment with both and see which works for you. Generally speaking frag cannon engineering is a competition between double shot vs overcharged and with something like rapid fire being somewhere in the middle. For this jousting kind of piloting style double shot might be better. Also you didn't mention what experimental you have. Screening shot is a good one for frag cannons so that you can fire much sooner, but that might not be an issue if you joust. Also it's a pity there aren't any huge class 4 frag cannons.
Those Mamba engines screaming on the initial drop in should've sent those Feds running while they had the chance. It moves like a jaguar. What a killer performance 👏
Picked up the Mamba after seeing this. The blast from the boost is so damn satisfying to hear.
Indeed. I keep 4 pips on ENG most of the time (since I use frags also) and that sound is a wonderful side benefit.
Don’t you just love the scenery and action packed moments like these in Elite?
You fly that ship like it's choreographed. o7
Jesus, that take off from the station made me nervous!
i had flash backs to when i would boost with the sidewinder inside the stations XD
Have you never seen a mamba pilot before? Lol
@@Null24 ha! Fair enough
that's not how you take off? lol
@@arzosahsothy tried that once, only once...
This was awesome. You're handling is insane. No idea how you can maintain so much control with fa off. Your boost timing as well. I could watch more of this. Please make more.
Appreciate it!
Epic maneuvers O7 Thank you for convincing me to go with space shotties for my mamba.
Ooh a Mamba frag cannon joust build. That's inspired!
Killer build man. Reminds me of the quad cannon Viper in Beta. Good times.
Good times indeed!
That's a cool technique flying with flight stabilizer off and turbo boosting back to the target , will have to
practice that. Cool build.
Dude youre flying skills are insane!
you aint flying a mamba if align with mailslot and boost for station exit isnt your routine.. XD
Very impressive man ! Perfect build , perfect music also ! Well done !
That was amazing. I'd love to see if you could pull off double shot screening shell frags with how fast you're jousting in that thing. And Fdev, where's our huge frag cannons???
Aahhh yes huge frags please ...... all the shrapnel 😁
The take off busy ran chills in my bones lol
This man is a damn good pilot
Space shotgun is best build, since i fulled engineered my frag mamba i've been hunting fed corvettes for sport
What was your full loadout I'm trying to do one myself
We got a badass over here!
What’s your control setup? Keyboard and mouse? Dual stick? HOTAS? You’re so f’ing smooth!
Nice star port exit. If you aren’t out of that mail slot going full speed, you aren’t doing it right
My luck a type 10 will be coming in the other way.
You've just got a new subscriber! Such an enjoyable video there ✌️✌️
Jeez, you're piloting skills with FA off are phenomenal. I wish I could fly like that. I don't think it's possible with hotas.
Too good to be real. I play hotas on PS4. Getting better at FA off. Still not as skilled as CMDR Echo3...
I play with fa off since launch and by god was it hard at first but I'm getting better
Read this comment, tried to land with fa off, died.
Nah but seriously tho if you set up ur controls right it isn't impossible.
Don't hotas improve maneuvering?
honestly you gave me one of my two new combat goals . I want to do a similar mamba build and a stealth dbscout build . thank you commander ... that looked like a fun fight
5:29 the sickest gun sync with the music
Absolute fluke 👍🏽
This action is insane and with this music, just great, who said Elite's fights are boring?
Damn wish I was half as good a pilot as you, nice flying!
Very inspiring video.
Great demonstration of how to use the ship.
I've faced a similar build in the pass, it is hard to counter-act the speed of its jousts. I was farming conflict zone in a cutter with a crap pitch rate as well :S

Very nice build, and epic flying. I love the Mamba, but with FA-ON it's just a space brick... 😞
Thanks Chris. Yeah it's sluggish at slow speeds while docking too but it gets a wiggle on when you need it
O.O You can drive... Respect. o7. Mamba is a beast FA off. ^^
The quality of this is actually *insane*

This is like a rabbit on caffeine

Frags is his trick. Run ice cold and no need for pips

Not sure you would class this as reverski. This is aggressive jousting 👍🏽
any info about what optionnal module you use ? i'm curious to try an build like this one (or an coriolis link could be nice too)
Do you know how to get to that FOV I have mine set to max and it still looks pretty enclosed compare to your mamba cockpit
Google “change fov elite dangerous” and follow the instructions 👍🏽

Any chance of the build? Really interesting.
How are you slingshotting around enemies like that? Don't mambas have terrible pitch/yaw? Something involving your thrusters, looks like...

Sounds good!
It's a great ship the mamba
so how does it work in PvP ? usually this ship is being used with LR weapons
Not great to be honest, it will do better when I get some prismatic shields on it.
Mamba-tan is best ship

I don't get it. Why don't you just slow down and stay close to your target? Those frags can do much more damage at point blank range.

Incendiary rounds?
Sorry I can’t remember? They are so powerfull I don’t think it matters to much what secondary effect you put on them 👍🏽
@@bokatan9642 Incendiary rounds are good for stripping down shields because they convert part of the damage to thermal.

also, are you flying mouse+keyb?
why not fixed?
What do you mean mate?
Ah yeah fixed or gimballed, sorry it’s been a while. I found the convergence not close enough for anything that wasn’t a big ship
F for the discarded mats.
You go in for mats or adrenaline... Never both
if only the Mamba's hardpoints weren't terribly placed you could actually use full power frags instead of 25% reduced power versions
I know it is really annoying!
@@bokatan9642 He meant that not fixed?
Yes think that's what he meant....
Still an issue I'm guessing? I haven't tried fixed yet.
Next time forget overcharged and use double shot, much more burst
Nice! Will do

You don't have to do runs- the Mamba will pitch fast in a dog fight if you know how.

Kinda looks like he already has a black belt in turning that Mamba bro

good

Care to share? Im waiting a few weeks for prismatics before its ready for pvp. Looking forward to try it out
