So that means it is probably just sitting behind 3 tree hexes and firing at the wide open Hunchback.

I guess this turn's theme is: the closer a shot gets to being a sure thing, the more likely it is to miss.

T.G. Xarbala posted:Yeah Mythbusters did a thing on bullets hitting water and they found that the faster and heavier the bullet the more water just shears it as it tries to go through. Granted water can only shield against ballistics up to a point but its viscous enough that those movie scenes of people escaping gunfire by swimming deeper are more plausible than people realize. Saw that one recently - the faster your projectile the worse it is. Everything larger than a pistol shot disintegrates and barely carries the fragments a meter into the water (though this eventually seems to stop being true, large scale artillery having been used to destroy underwater bunkers in WW2 supposedly). Battletech water protection is very realistic. DatonKallandor fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Aug 8, 2016 |

PoptartsNinja posted:I (have been) running into a little technical difficulty with my mouse that's put me behind schedule for this update. Sometimes a click is a click, sometimes it's two, sometimes it's none, and sometimes it's six. Which wouldn't be a huge deal but it makes the whole 'click and drag' nature of my maps take about six times longer than it should. Hopefully you can fix this, that sounds quite frustrating.

PoptartsNinja posted:I don't mind order updates, if you need to send five times to get something you're finally satisfied with, that's fine. But please send complete orders when you do so I don't have to reference 3+ messages in order to figure out what you're trying to do. The five times was me, but it was a complete set I'm sure. Now lets see what the morning has brought... Edit: Water is an incredibly good shield unless you use flechettes or something similar like missiles or torpedoes, but since height 1 water only semi-submerges a mech (meaning a lot of the legs are within a few meters of the surface and vulnerable to explosions) I think there should definitely be a 1/4th fraction of the damage from ballistic weapons. Ack, update teasers and it isn't out yet! Looking forwards to it.  As long as the Bobcat and Weasel survives I think our luck is ok. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Nergal Reactor: Tactical Update 7 Melanie’s Mountain Lion, its cockpit a smoking ruin, collapsed in a lifeless heap atop the twisted shell of a decrepit Quonset hut. A fast-deploying white parachute opened like the bud of a petunia and drifted lazily towards the ruins of the false fusion reactor. She’d punched out successfully, but whether she’d done so in time was another story. She hung limply from her ‘chute, and was probably fortunate that a slight breeze was blowing in from the ocean. She wouldn’t land in the brackish waters of the river delta unless she was too far gone to hit the chute’s quick release when she touched down. Another roar rose over the battlefield as the Clan pilots cranked their external speakers to the highest possible gain, celebrating her defeat like a pack of wild animals. Noretti was livid, her face contorting into a mask of impotent purple rage. She barely knew the mercenary woman but by insisting that Noretti prove herself in precisely the same fashions she seemed to expect of the rest of the Demon Hawks, she’d proven to be the only mercenary who’d treated Noretti the same as the rest. To celebrate so publically for defeating a single enemy may not have been a disgraceful act, but it was such a profoundly distasteful one that Noretti was completely ill-equipped to explain or even comprehend why it bothered her so much. She slammed her fist on the button controlling the Phoenix Hawk’s external speakers. “I am Noretti, of the Blood House of Magnus,” she roared, loud enough, she hoped, to be heard over the Sea Foxes animalistic howls. “Bondsman-Pilot of the Demon Hawks! You celebrate while you are yet losing, Sea Foxes! You are no better than animals, come face a real Mechwarrior and meet your deaths at the hands of a Bondsman—and in utter disgrace!”   Movement Phase Warhawk Riptide - Moves Recklessly: must pass a piloting test or fall immediately in hex 3009 (3 base = 3): rolled 6, succeeds! - Recklessly charges into hex 3111 (3 base + 1 per level change = 4): rolled 8, succeeds!

That was a bloody turn.  Lost the Mountain Lion and the Copperhead, and in return we downed Thunderchild Razormaw and Shadowcat Eta, had the Swordbreaker surrender, Noretti

That was a rough turn but Gooncompany got the better of it. 3 'Mechs down and the Nidhogg is crippled. The Varangian has been opened up enough that some good firepower will probably finish it off. Edit: did you roll the CT crit for the kick on the Nidhogg? Didn't see it in the results Picard Day fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Melanie is marked as crippled. She's never piloting another mech again, assuming she survives and is even ambulatory. Battletech is Hell.

This was not a good turn to be a medium or medium-role heavy.

Don't underestimate space magic, especially as Amaris is rolling in it. Dang! That Warhawk took a great position there. Picard Day fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 8, 2016 |

So, I'm reduced to two lasers, some SRMs, and a lance. And my pilot is hallucinating. All in favour of the Coyote going insane and trying to add more Clanners to the shishkabob?

I think that Hunchie that ate three ac20 rounds and some lasers deserves props for trying to face down something twice its weight and surviving.

Woooh, thanks for update! Two-mech kill on the pristine Shadowcat! Also, Nidhogg Eta eats a crit from the fall? RA Rx fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Aug 8, 2016 |

80 damage in a single hit. That's only been bettered by ammo explosions, exploding buildings and nukes.

If you manage to get rid of the Viper the Naga might just leg it due to lack of spotters.

Getting rid of the Viper before it gains ACE should be hiiigh priority!
