There's an excellent drawing of a Wolf Spider in the OP. Essentially it's a Timberwolf that swaps out shoulder missiles for a cannon.

Ardlen posted:We did have falling and TAC'ing the CT for three engine crits on a pristine Helios a few missions ago, which is still amazing. I'm not sure anything can beat the David MASCing two legs off on the same side. Edit: Matsukaze Ravenwater's escape was more probable than what Duncan did, but to me that is still the ultimate highlight of this thread, followed closely by Duncan.

The most amazing thing in this thread is still Duncan Starkiller. Maybe not the most amazingly improbable but it was amazing the way he killed mechs left and right. The second most amazing thing is probably something the death commandos did.

PoptartsNinja posted:Not every way. They're more Marauder than Catapult, which means they're actually worse than the `Mech they're replacing (a problem all of the Timber Wolf's replacements have until the Timber Wolf Mk IV, which is basically the original with Ferro Lamellor armor) That's a symptom of Clan LRMs being bullshit I assume?

Not all hands, I believe PTN stated two-three mechs (I don't remember the exact number) were missing from the crash site, the same number that had jump jets. 6/9/6, the Legend of Steve lives on.

Steve was a bondsman so he would have been in the Death Commando's dropship so he's going to be OK. What i'm really excited for is the next time they come around we get to see hardcore Death Commando Wilberforce!

Nergal Reactor: Tactical Update 10 Noretti stared as the Crossbow fell, its engine ruined not by the Demon Hawks but by the Arrow IV missile that had struck the Grasshopper and detonated. A casual disregard for the lives of one’s comrades wasn’t unusual for a Clan pilot, Noretti realized, but all the same she thought it was no wonder that particular pilot had been assigned a Naga. They were a mix of cowardice and carelessness that made the short hairs on the back of Noretti’s neck stand on end, an anathema to everything the breeding program was trying to accomplish. Perhaps they’d simply given up on ever earning glories, or-- One of Noretti’s secondary monitors flashed to static. She popped it with a balled fist, as one of the Demon Hawks technicians had suggested, but the static didn’t clear. It was strange. Her active probe was working but an arc to her right flank wasn’t even detecting the concrete berm that funneled water through the tidal hydroelectric generators. “I am being jammed,” she realized at once. “Indirectly, I am not in an ECM field but my active probe is being counteracted.

Copy-paste error: you left the Varangian's firing from last turn in there. Nice headshot on the Wolf Spider! Shame about the Awesome falling over, but the Swordbreaker was forced back into the water and it has an open torso now, so I think it was a fair exchange.

Man, what a turn. tactical thoughts: Might be worth the Atlas dashing south and taking cover in the smoke that the Naga so helpfully laid down, We know there's something in that area jamming Noretti, and it can use the cover while the Lament, Phoenix Hawk, and Grasshopper come join up to gang up on whatever's hiding there. There's the GUNS BLAZING option of just moving 2922, but that's just asking to eat 5 ERLLs (And probably a shitload more LRMs). Despite the ragged armor, Duncan is still pretty OK. He has a standard engine, and even if he lost the left arm's PPC, he still has the CT mounted one. It'll be a big problem re-activating TSM if it drops without the third PPC though. The Screamer probably has the biggest risk/reward dice roll play available by jumping to 1923 and launching a kick at the Night Gyr's leg that is about to pop off. The downside is eating probable return fire on 9s and 7s from the Night Gyr, or 8s from the Ace Crossbow. That's a big danger. Gwaihir fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Aug 18, 2016 |

Nice shooting. Double headshot from the Nergal is just excessive. PTN, is that statcard for the Adder accurate? It looks like it has the armor and structure of a 75 ton Mech.

As it lurks it gains tonnage through osmosis. Eventually it will become a superheavy to rival the Nergal! Except it will still be an Adder at heart.

Hey PTN, are you using a houserule for the Clan Arrow IVs? I thought they did the same damage/radius as the IS versions, but you've got it dealing 25/15/5 like a Long Tom.

Gwaihir posted:Man, what a turn. Yeah, that Atlas is in bad shape; the Right Torso is torn up enough that I'm wondering if it's at risk of an ammo explosion. I'm pretty much going to aim for the Naga, unless something chases the Atlas down. Not that anyone else is in much better shape, mind; Space Hitler better send in some reinforcements soon or he'll be buying everyone a new mech. Those of us that aren't captured or killed, anyway. Speaking of, the problem with working for Space Hitler is that one gets the ugly feeling he's planning on killing or capturing all of us here to keep his secret weapons secret. Or just for funsies, being possibly insane and all.

Ammo won't explode, but if you're worried about it / it takes another hit and your armor gets stripped, ask PTN if you can power down the gauss rifle. It's an optional rule, and I don't think you can really keep up TSM without it, but it will let you go ultra zombie with your CT mounted PPC if nothing else.

Aren't you guys winning handily? Three dead mechs for team goons, and like 10 for the bad guys including 4/5 of the assault star. Yeah a lot of armor is shredded but most of your firepower is intact while they've lost a ton (not to mention they don't have durable mechs left).

What's the point of having a super weapon if nobody knows about it?

Yeah, the Nergal is the kind of superweapon that you want everybody to see. It's huge and intimidating but in the grand scheme of things not actually that threatening. Its main value is in being big and scary.

Our mechs are wearing down, but we have a numerical advantage, still have a fairly healthy super-heavy on the field, and are in far better position to concentrate our firepower on the remaining enemy mechs.

There's 5 may as well be fresh mechs coming out of the water to the east, so it's very much anyone's game, although goons probably have the advantage since they're mostly ganging up on isolated clanners better. They still have plenty of mechs that are a hair away from a cripple or kill though.

Xarbala's Steve/Enforcer play and that death commando campaign was the only reason I got a forum account. I was doing fist pumps when he landed that death from above.

To explain this a little better, gauss ammo doesn't explode but gauss rifles do (unless powered down I guess).

This is just out of curiosity, but what happens if you try and eject under water? Does the cockpit have enough structural integrity to hold up to the extra pressure or do you just die because you got rocket boosted into a wall of water?

Hahaha, wow. Dual head shots with both Hyper Pulse Lasers. That clanner is /super/ dead.
