Lately I've been playing with the scout + upgraded light plasma (3000)... then adding an iron hull (1250)... add a fireball (2200)... up fireball (700?)... up hull (650?)... save for gold hull (5000)... then match 5~7k weapon to counter best opponent on opposite team (5050, let's just say Fear Magic)...
I dunno if I buy this. That is a total of 17850 gold, and you have:
Scout
-Iron Hull (Upgrade)
-Gold Hull
-Light Plasma Gun (Upgrade) (~180 DPS)
-Fireball Cannon (Upgrade) (205 DPS)
-Fear Magic (336 DPS)
For a total of ~7000 HP, and ~720 DPS. For the same cost one could go:
LT/BMx2 (3022) -> Up BMx2 (1110) -> Heavy Tank (5100) -> Swarm Rockets (3300) -> Swarm Rockets (3300) -> Up Swarmx2 (2400)
That's a total of 18232, a mere 400 more than what you are proposing, and it looks like:
Heavy Tank
-Basic Magic Upgrade(111 DPS)
-Basic Magic Upgrade(111 DPS)
-Swarm Rockets Upgrade (300 DPS)
-Swarm Rockets Upgrade (300 DPS)
For a total of ~5500 HP, and 822 DPS. I don't see how you would dominate the opposing HT. There's also the common buy of the HT getting a Speed Boost and then he is faster than you. Not even bringing in the better skills. The HT rocket cools down faster than Defensive Systems does, so you will eventually get caught in a Rocket/HoB 1-2 punch.
