Difficulty: HARD
Risk: EXTREME
Payoff: SET THE STARS ABLAZE

This is HOT, a hyper-aggressive frontline CLN, hailing from the legendary SUPERHOT line, ULTRAHOT style. HOT aims to be the end-all be-all of aggressive frontline CLN's. HOT is based off of ULTRAHOT, and maintains the same playstyle, but differs in design and in the fact that you are more fragile than either SUPERHOT or ULTRAHOT.

HOT trades its survivability and some of it's S1 offensive missiles for vastly increased offensive capabilities, granted by 129 varied offensive containers and 21 penaid containers. HOT's actual offensive makeup is 105 7-tick warhead HEI containers, 24 R2 rocket containers, along with 21 decoy/BSSJ containers. HOT's offensive containers have a 14km range at 155m/s, with 2.9 Gs of maneuver. HOT's rocket containers go a bit faster at 175m/s and have an increased range of 20km.

Besides the offensive containers, HOT also comes equipped with 10 cheap scout/penaid/utility containers, 5 lineship decoys, 4 instantly-staging R3 buckshot boxes for emergency's where the S1's wont cut it, and 48 offensive SAH S1 missiles for anything vauxhall-sized or below.

HOT's internals are like anything you've seen on SUPERHOT or ULTRAHOT, dual drives and a reinforced bow, but HOT has lost the reinforced DC lockers amidships in exchange for more firepower. HOT carries 7 DC teams and 10 restores, a bit more squishy than its predecessors.

HOT has generally the same playstyle as ULTRAHOT, use your rocket containers to pick off cap assets before engaging enemy ships with your anti-ship container missiles. Stick with your teammates, stay in cover, and always be on the move. Remember, you are more fragile than ULTRAHOT, play accordingly. You can bowtank as the bow remains relatively reinforced, but this will only prolong your life under sustained fire. Make sure to use ToT attacks, at minimum 4+, your salvo size is only 6, and you have the reserves to do so.

You have a 13-second programming time for ToT strikes, make it count.

BACKLINE IS DEAD.
AXFORDS ARE FUEL.
THE BATTLESPACE IS FULL.

And yes, I did steal everything here from other people. Thank you chereamie, arofire, MXYFX-71400, Min, and J4R.
On another side note, HOT is not final and I will be constantly updating it as long as I have the will to play CLN.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ every time I update the fleet it deletes the jpg of the good thumbnail and replaces it with this ♥♥♥♥.
If your containers are "backwards" in-game, I think it's a bug on my end because I'm using one of the pre-carriers Moorline hulls. MT1 and MT2 are switched in the mixed missile planner for me, so if it shows up as BACKLINE IS DEAD, then ULTRAHOT, then AXFORD PRIVILEGES, instead of BACKLINE IS DEAD, then AXFORDS ARE FUEL, then BATTLESPACE IS FULL, please tell me so I can fix it.

Guides and stuff I dunno

chereamie's guide on how to play ULTRAHOT is very relevant to this fleet: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417865144

I found gnomepuncher's guide on ToT strikes and general missile knowledge to be very helpful also: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3404009387

Gnomepuncher, iris, and chereamie have also created a comprehensive guide on the wizardry of playing CLN, I highly recommend:
