Maybe sacrifice some more of the left arms armor to bring another heat sink. King Crab arms suck at blocking and have a +17hp armor buff that they don't need. Its also slow as hell, especially un-tweaked, but can keep pace with a Dire Wolf.

You can also strip that armor off and run another ton of AC5 ammo.

Darksaber posted:So my drop deck is normally a CN9-A (MLs & SRMs), HBK-4SP (ssrms/ml), TDR-5SS (the mpl build linked a bit ago), and a CPLT-K2 (gauss). I'd like recommendations on what to replace. I've never been great with lights, and I can't seem to get any success with the CPLT, so I'm looking to get rid of that. I'll probably replace the Cent with a streak Kintaro too, but I'm open to any suggestions. If you're going kintaro, swapping the k2 for a cataphract 3d would be a good upgrade. I'd give lights another try though. The way they play in the main game and the way they get used in cw are fairly different. More distraction and objective blasting and less standing in boxes and dueling other lights. Freeing up some tonnage gives you a few more options, possibly enough for an assault mech.

TeeMerk posted:Always have one light for CW whether you are good at them or not. Also this. General strategy so far has been long range energy mechs and a light or two on the first wave, mediums/heavies on wave two, heavies/assaults on wave three, lights on wave four. The exact mechs are up to you but being able to contribute to that waves goal is important. A wave four stalker may get left behind, for example. Other general tips: We play very aggressively on offense. A 48 kph atlas or King crab may find itself left behind and not able to contribute to the main furball until it's too late. Gotta Go Fast. You will die. Don't worry about it. Being down 3 to 12 after the first push isn't uncommon or even necessarily a bad thing if you were able to kill their turrets. XL brawlers are still stupid, please don't. Dragons are amazing poo poo wreckers but poo poo at taking damage. If you notice a large number of them on the team, it might be worthwhile to change to something brawly just do we don't have 6 dragons tangled up on each other getting blasted by lerms and enemy brawlers. Do not ever back up in an assault. You're blocking a teammate and slowing the entire push. Harassers behind can be dealt with by others. Ignore mechs that have had all of their guns blown off, they're useless. Try to bring a cbill bonused mech at some point in the game. You'll get a shitload of extra cash. These are great for wave one since they don't matter as much as the later waves.

Gwaihir posted:Bad sure is the correct choice of word for that linked mech! 300 engine atlases are baaaaaaaad. Lasers remain a trap on atlas brawlers, but it's not bad to keep them in the CT case of weapon loss. Don't bother with the useless CASE. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=216&l=bc5767f5e200da34766e2785a46fccd474585257 isn't terrible, but I would still leave out a laser and add another heatsink to support the SRM vomit. I'd probably even lose both lasers and add more SRM ammo. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=216&l=b25626658e22efeafe63a1a20096ae04edd92105 Gotta go fast. This thing will never live long enough to use all of its ammo because its a brawling atlas. Its probably oversinked for the cold maps but it should be able to keep up its fire on the hot ones. Stick the SRMs on two weapon groups, ac20 on the third because ghost heat will get you shut down so fast. No lasers because they reduce your ability to deliver missiles and ac20 shells.

Drakes posted:If twist speed wasn't tied to engine size it just sounds like lights would have harder times circling assaults/heavies. Then those big guys could just load up on weapons/armor and still track alright? I would assume in this hypothetical scenario that twist speed would be set per mech. So lights would be twisty and fast, assaults would be appropriately slow, and various levels in between for mediums/heavies, depending on chassis. And then on top of that some mechs would get twist speed quirks.

Prawned posted:It's the good design for which PGI is known. Yeah, don't do that. 12 man or nothing because it will never match you with anyone. Liao is the lowest population group in the IS factions so there's maybe 20 people in the Liao queue that aren't us. Your options as a solo player are too bash your head against the Fair and Balanced clans with 11 other solo pubs, find 11 other goons to shoot Davions with, or gently caress off. I'm not sure if the other factions have the same turret shooting rate but you could try joining one and finding out. Or keep whining in the thread. Your call.

Washout posted:What is a good drop deck for me to make? I may as well start playing again since I got the free 7 days of premium. With just what you have? Stalker, Spider 5D, Cent A, Jager of your choosing with gauss or AC20s. If you're going to be getting new mechs, consider the Thunderbolt-9SS or the Dragon-1N. Both have gotten insanely dangerous since quirks got added. Firestarters are good too. The MPL and SPL ones in particular stand out but you've got jenners already so if your playtime is limited its probably not worthwhile to grind them out too.

Supraluminal posted:With the caveat that I haven't even tried CW yet: It seems like, if your objective is to disincentivize light rushes, you shouldn't decrease the strength of the main gun and set up dispersed, relatively fragile targets to destroy. Isn't that pretty much what light Mechs are good at? Some conquest style control points instead of the mini generators would work nicely. Slows the push and gives both sides time and a reason to shoot robots instead of generators.

Freakazoid_ posted:What are people's opinion of the battlemaster? It looks like it can do most of what stalkers do, lrmboat and laser drill. I find the 1G (I think. The one with 3 shoulder energy hard points) has a very tiny niche of being a front line tank for heavy/medium waves in CW. It's fast-ish so it can stay at the front while using those big, armor boosted arms to spread damage around. Its quirks are decent and those high mounted mls let you shoot over teammates if they get in front of you. Outside of that one specific use it's a brawling assault in a sniper game so it does about as poorly as you would expect. Not worth buying three to grind up, for sure.

Drakes posted:I'm finding myself having difficulty playing mediums compared to when things were 8 mans. Its like a mixture of flanking being more difficult with larger groups and SRMs having no more splash damage to smooth out targeting. I feel screwed playing mediums if I can't stick something with atleast 400m optimal range on it. Mediums are in a rough spot. Theyre either slightly slower lights with bigger profiles or heavies with less armor. If you're going to play a brawler like the Cent A or the Hunch 4G, you can't be the first into a fight. Hang out near a flank shooting people who try to get around and wait it out while the assaults break each other, then play cleanup. This does not apply in CW, where mediums should only be brought for tonnage saving purposes and fitted with long range weapons and big engines. For that case, bring whichever one fills up your tonnage and that you think looks nicest. If you don't want to brawl, try out the Cent D with an XL and the LBX10. Its not the most effective thing in the world but the LBX spraying shells is fun. The other option is, of course, Stormcrow. Its a pretty good robot.
