Here is the StormCrow I use right now.

Simple build, I am sure someone will tell me I am putting the ammo in the wrong place but whatever. For weapon groups I have group 1 be a full alpha and group 2 be chainfire.

How is this game these days in terms of weight-class roles and balance? Are there concrete, tangible reasons for using mixed forces, or do you just want as many Assaults as possible with maybe a couple of lights for scouting/harassment?

PGI 'balanced' the roles by making you take 3 of each into every fight.

Supposedly, in CW, each player will have a tonnage limit up to 240 tons to fill their dropship with, depending on the mission, so different weights will certainly have a role there as well. 2 Atloxen and 2 Locusts? 2 Timber Wolves, a Stormcrow, and a Kit Fox? 4 Mad Dogs?

4 centurions, done.

Did I win CW?

They're bad, and the worst part is that they're not quite bad enough for people to realise they're not even remotely worth taking over lasers(the god weapon at this point of the game) and/or whatever dumb gimmicky ballistic poo poo(gauss rifles excepted, which are as good as ever)

e: People also play them in incredibly boring, passive ways, and they're actively harmful as far as becoming less of a lovely player goes. When I did a stupid lrmboat to get my stalker basics way back in the day, I at least pushed and spotted/tagged targets for myself instead of whining about people not giving me locks while hiding behind a hill

e2:


They're actually actively harmful and in the group queue I see goons using pure lrmboats more than the pubbie groups I fight alongside/against

Solo queue is a different story. A much better story. A world dominated by a single tyrannical metal toddler armed with greenbeams of doom

Preach, Every dumb assault or heavy hanging behind a hill that ends up untouched after their team is wiped out is an active detriment to their team.

Here is another good mech' due to quirks

Large Lenturian

Put the arm LL on their own group, even firing all 3 is not too hot, skirmish with this thing, don't brawl. Turn to your right after firing so your left arm soaks up hits.

KDR squad is dead, and also was only clans for a super short period of time, but it works the same way for both sides. Click robots, don't die, win game 48-6 as IS attackers against a 12 person clan group on boreal

It helps when you don't use LRMs or other awful builds (seriously some of those robots phorashi posted, lol)

Care to share some builds? I always seem to do stupidly well with robots you use.

To elaborate on why ModPud says the Tbolt has the ERPPCs mounted in the wrong place, here is a picture of my Tbolt with the correct mounts.



See those blue thingies to the left of my cockpit? those are the 2 ERPPCs in the RT.

See those 2 X's way down low below the cockpit? those are where your other 2 ERPPCs are located on the LT in the build you linked.

The RT mounts are stupidly high up, and you barely have to expose yourself to fire them, the low LT mounts are lovely and you have to walk your whole rear end out of cover to fire.

Alternatively go for srm4's so your range increases and you use all the quirks nicely.

Actually, the centurian missile quirks are no longer specific to the SRM4, you can use whatever missile system you want and get all the quirks.

I named it "Self Service" because of the TAG but holy poo poo turns out that's actually not the correct reason for the name! This owns. Everyone should spend some time doing this at some point in their storied space robot knight career. Zipping along between fronts tagging and beating the poo poo out of anything that doesn't get to cover. King Crabs are popular and are also shaped like catchers mitts, by the way. I think I might actually have an excess of ammo so maybe I should drop a ton and pack a medium laser? Or I could just keep running to a safe distance.

Holy poo poo, get that ammo out of your torsos.

Put another ton in the right leg, 1 in the head, and I dunno, put the rest in arms, do you really need all that ammo for 2 LRM 15 launchers?

You know what else does a lot of damage to unarmored parts of a mech.

Literally anything except flamers.

You know what doesn't do a lot of damage under any other circumstance? Machine guns.

You're seriously proposing, as an alternative to the biggest most powerful gun in the game, 6 extra missiles and 3 machine guns. Machine guns aren't a viable alternative to anything, let alone an AC/20. Who the gently caress cares about how often they crit internals when an unarmored part of a mech is one shot away from being destroyed by pretty much any gun or combination of guns in the game.

He does have a point in that machine guns are no longer the 'bigger threat to your mech than others due to ammo' it used to be, but yeah, Machine guns are still not very good. However, there is a reason folks make fun of the 'Wang forever, a Centurion and his gun-arm are soon parted.
