I did mention that, yes. Update's coming, but I'm exhausted. I'm going to try not to miss anything, but some of the orders I received this turn were massive. Edit: Well. That... was an interesting move. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Jun 5, 2016 |

Wasn't Duncan supposed to be the worse pilot, again? Jason's going to get a ribbing if his partner walks away with a star of kills and all he gets is a lot of hurricane rain coming in through the new holes in his cockpit. Edit: I don't think I took the time to say it before so I'm going to add now that I'm glad we're getting to see a Hellstar in action after all their infamy.

Canon he takes down a `Mech in every fight he's involved in, he's just a terrible pilot.

More than a star at this point. HGRs are terrifying weapons up close, rest of his armament isn't bad either. In contrast, the Screamer is more about obscene mobility rather than having enough punch to take out an assault.

I'm not at all surprised the Atlas has been giving them the business. It's a sick freakin 'Mech. 100 tonners with TSM are just monstrous beasts. With an HGR and up against under armored Clan mechs that want to fool around up close it's gonna get ugly.

Tell me about it. You can do surprisingly little with a 15-damage weapon, especially one that parcels out a third of its damage to a different part of the target. I admit, this cockpit hit has spooked me. I don't want to be the first player to lose a popular canon character. Striking the right balance between using the Screamer appropriately and keeping it alive is not easy; it isn't a mech that can hang back. It wants to be jumping around the backfield, relying on a huge move mod rather than armour against incoming fire.

At least you are easily capable of repositioning to use that weapon while denying easy shots on you in return. Sadly, I'm not so mobile. Not-so-sadly, I have other options. I'm less worried about one of either Duncan and Jason going down, than what it means to the company if both wind up going down. Retrievals in this mission is not exactly a great odds thing even with covering mechs with hands to try it.

If Jason takes so much as a single SRM to the head, retrieval won't be a problem anymore.

While it is fine to be nervous about the head hit from a player perspective, please don't worry about "losing" a popular character. You'd do your best to stay alive even if you were some random nobody, right? So why would we hold it against you if you did your best and got diced (again)? I'm the biggest jerk in the thread and even I wouldn't poo poo on somebody for getting a character I liked killed, as long as they were trying. I'd totally poo poo on them for getting one killed through not turning in orders though.

Air Raid: Tactical Update 10 “Aahn, hell.” Icepick’s monotone wavered, a trace of emotion creeping into his too-calm voice. “There go my leg actuators, I’m as slow as an Atlas now. Boss. Bosses,” the man amended quickly, a trace of amusement creeping into his speech. “I don’t think I’m going to make it out, but I can use the smoke to my advantage. Act as a speed bump to keep the southern lance pinned down and prevent them from chasing you for a bit.” “Absolutely not,” Duncan growled even as he smashed the Atlas’s right leg through the Nidhogg’s shin. The Clan machine tottered as its surprised pilot took a step back, but when she tried to rest her machine’s weight on the stump of a leg that no longer existed she lost her balance. The Nidhogg fell with a crash COOTS could feel through his boots, but he felt like cheering all the same: over half of the `Mechs with the white feathered paint had been removed from the battle. All by Duncan in the most brutal twenty seconds he’d ever born witness to. “Every one of us is walking off the field today.” COOTS’s eyes settled on the last nearby target, a sharply-angled Lucerne. He knew from his wife’s constant intelligence monitoring that the Lucerne typically had an SRM rack on its shoulder. A few good shots to the back and he could cook off the machine’s ammo. It was one thing for an Atlas to prove why it would forever be the king of the battlefield, it was another for a light `Mech to take down a target over twice its weight. He grinned, his target practically sparkling as he rushed towards it. His crosshairs pulsed as they fell on the machine’s back and his targeting computer locked on. The Gunsmith’s nimble arms came up, weapons converging on a point just below the boxy pod on the Lucerne’s shoulder. His fingers tightened on his joystick, and he glanced down as his thumb flipped up the catch to the nimble little light’s primary Target Interlock Circuit. When his eyes returned to the golden crosshairs hanging in the forward-portion of his circle-vision strip the Lucerne was nowhere in sight, his crosshairs hung over empty space. It took COOTS a half-second to figure out what had happened, that the white blob behind him wasn’t simply a cloud on the horizon. The Lucerne had executed a graceful pirouette the instant COOTS had looked away, casually sidestepping the Gunsmith’s charge. It had practically danced around the lighter machine, using the Gunsmith’s speed against it. COOTS cringed, twisted, bringing up an arm like a duelist in a “Black Eagle”—Marik produced—western. Like most of the desperados in those films, he was already too late. The Lucerne’s pulse lasers opened up the Atlas’s back like a maniac with a hatchet. He fired, his pulse lasers strobing as he tried to deter the bigger `Mech, but without seeming to spare the Gunsmith any mind the Lucerne’s boxy foot smashed into the machine’s right calf. From foot to hip, the Gunsmith’s armor plating shattered like a cheap glass window being struck by a brick. Unlike most armor, which reinforced their ceramics with steel, the laser-reflective armor the Gunsmith sported was laced with mirrored Transplexiglass—the very same transplex that armored all `Mech cockpits. Unlike Ceramet and Ferro-Fibrous armors which could bend to absorb some of the force of a blow, Reflec didn’t give. The Lucerne’s foot carried through as if it’d found no resistance at all, sheering off the Gunsmith’s right foot and torqueing the leg so hard that the hip actuator bent and twisted out of alignment. Detecting the damage, sensors in the leg triggered the capacitors for the emergency myomer bundles, pulling the leg straight and locking the knee so the Gunsmith could still use the crippled limb as a makeshift crutch. COOTS tottered, fighting his controls. “Hell nothing, they’re trying to cripple us,” COOTS spat. “They want to take us alive!” “Why anyone would want you is a mystery to me,” IRIS’s reply seemed cold, but Robert could hear the worry in his wife’s voice. “Cut the banter,” Ronin cut in, he’d been silent for so long COOTS had almost forgotten the man was in the fight too. “We’ve got a big problem! Something’s been nagging at me, so I chased a hunch—I’m picking up forty objects that might be large assault rifles, and another forty that have to be jump packs. I thought they’d be in the trees, but I think those big Jump Infantrymen did a run around the backside of the mountain! They’re at the base of the upward ramp, perfectly positioned to block our escape!

Blegh, I had a feeling something like that might happen. Do the actuator hits force a pilot check for jumping? Because I stand a much better chance of successfully quitting the field if I jump this turn instead of running. Also, I hope the Komodo has a lucky round of shooting or we're all hosed.

Atlas.  Badass as it is, its going to take at least 4 full turns with the atlases back to the enemy before it even gets to the escape point, so having anything reasonably fast covering its butt is going to be needed to keep it alive.

Okay live OR die Duncan Kalma has become loving legend. If one of those goddamn Clanners gets him they'll be talking about bagging the '7 a minute' killer for years.

MASC-ing in a 20-ton light with physical-vulnerable armor to get into a kick-fight with an ACE in a 65-ton heavy was a bold strategy, but now that Gunsmith needs to get the hell out of dodge as fast as possible. He's not the only one, either, it's a minor miracle how so many people are still hanging on with damaged legs, open cockpits and sandpapered armor - any turn now you could start dropping like flies. Even just going for another 3 turns isn't a given. The infantry have chosen the exact right time to tar pit the exit and you've still got a lot of running left to do to make it back to the hatch. It's the players' choice, but if you ask me the whole team should be beelining for the exit while the smoke and Revenants buy you a turn or two. If Duncan doesn't spend his every turn from now on moving on the shortest path to the exit he might as well sign over the company to Jason now and pick out a casket. That open rear is going to make retreating a nightmare and despite an incredible killing spree there's no real fighting your way out of this one.

PoptartsNinja posted:Atlas III On any other day, the Clans would be falling over themselves to take this pilot as a Bondsman and onto the fast track for a new Bloodname. Or Ath may think that this is finally the one pilot who can put him down and do something amazing/stupid.

Kick fight while wearing Laser Resistant Armor, no less. Isn't that more brittle than normal? I think the decision to fall back or not was just made for you guys. Cover the Atlas's and the slowed mechs' backs, sure, but staying around longer than 6 turns is out of the question now I think. I think you guys have pushed as hard as you can somethingsomething combat loss grouping somethingsomething.

The Komodo needs to get in and waste that infantry, and it would really help if the Salamander backs up and starts hitting them with the frag LRM ammo as well - with all the wind, it seems like the infantry will be easier to kill than 'Mechs running all over the place. But goddamn, that Atlas.
