The larger ones sometimes end up with a hatch like a tank would have instead. the atlas has a hatch on the back of the head behind the skull (a blowoffable hatch for the ejector seat.

His armor diagnostic painted a grim picture, another ‘lucky’ hit like that, and he was in serious trouble. drat, but these Clanners were good. “Choppers!” Acolyte Lorraine called with unhelpful cheerfulness. “I was wondering when we’d see some presents! Who wants to unwrap them?” “You are way too chipper, Gunter” Erica growled from the cockpit of her Flashman. “Didn’t anyone tell you there was a war on?” “I must’ve missed that Memo of Blake,” Lorraine replied with insouciant near-blasphemy. “Here I thought it was Christmas.

oh, king crab should walk forward 3 to 1727 and eat the hunchback with medium range gauss rifles at a 7 to hit. also that is a Stock Bane, and it has 17 turns of ammo left.

So, the VTOL's a crewed by twin brothers right? To aid in cohesion? (The crews of both have the same name)

Wow, a 2 and a 3 to hit, that's perfectly consistent with my luck. As tempting a target as F5 is, Trying to take out the VTOLs is probably the best move.

I called the Hunchback carrying Gauss. It is a far more practical weapon for that mech. Those unknown mechs are pretty scary. This might get ugly once the flaw of the IS XL starts showing itself. KnoxZone fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jul 7, 2011 |

drat, a Hunchie with 2 Gauss Rifles? Even I know that poo poo is bad news... The Bane doesn't look all that dangerous right now, even if it is reaching out and touching the Flashman at really long range, albeit for only 2 damage a pop. I assume we'll be seeing it hirt a lot more when the armor has been blasted off of a section or the range closes, but right now, it doesn't look too bad. F2, though, that guy looks dangerous. No idea what those VTOLs are, guess I'll wait to see them in action. Also, I think you missed noting the result from the Black Knight's roll to see if it stays upright. Seeing as how it wasn't mentioned anywhere in your fluff or the results that he fell, I assume he didn't?

KnoxZone posted:He said that those were Donars. cER Large and 2x Streak-2s on a chopper that can move 15 hexes a turn. Yeah, until I see all that in action, it's all words on a screen and means almost nothing to me. I will admit that the 15 hex movement sounds like it will be very annoying and possibly make it very hard if not impossible to hit them, plus an Extended Range Large Laser is painful for everyone its pointed at. But I can't really form an actual opinion of them until I see someone's face get wrecked because of them, I guess.

As terrified as you all are of the Hunchback, it's going to be easier to kill than two VTOLs moving for > +4 every turn.

Yeah, the choppers have Gunnery 4 and are probably going to be moving fast enough to not get instantly splattered by the Crabguard. Between that and the EM interference, their accuracy is going to nose dive. Now that Hunchback? That devious little mech? That's going lay out some serious pain until someone arranges for it to have an accident involving a direct hit from two Gauss Rifles at once.

That's a pretty terrifying hunchie variant, it needs to die.

Aesirstorm posted:That's a pretty terrifying hunchie variant, it needs to die. Everyone. Target that Hunchback. Put it in the ground. The good news is that by trading UAC20s for Gauss Rifles it's got a pair of thinly armored torsos just full of explosive crits, which means that a turn of concentrated fire is likely to wipe it out of existence. Which is good, because you want it wiped out of existence Post loving Haste.

On a side note, if all this hate dedicated at that Hunchback does not coordinate the Mechwarriors, nothing will. Though any mechs with short range guns should probably go brutalise those Pony Mechs.

I can get to short range for Large Lasers on those VTOLs this turn. I wonder how many hits they can take? I should drop at least one, anyway. I'll make a great big bloody short range target if they decide to concentrate fire, but at least they'll have a +3 to hit me~ in case anyone else is targetting them I am firing on V1 with 3x LLas and 2x MLas, average result suggests I'll kill it or at least achieve structure damage, so probably don't also shoot at it atelier morgan fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Jul 7, 2011 |

It should probably be pointed out that VTOLs have an extra +1 tohit penalty against them.

PTN, I have a question. Does vertical movement (IE, the choppers flying straight up) count for to-hit penalties, or does it not?

EDIT: Ninjaed by ShadowDragon. If the VTOL vertical movement counts for movement hit penalties, go concentrate all fire on the Hunchback. Donars are pretty tough for their size and the Hunchie is stationary. If it doesn't, it might be worth concentrating as much fire as possible on the VTOLs.

Ultimately, the Hunchback is a lot of firepower on a slow(er) and (comparatively) fragile frame. Therefore, it should die first...if you can get reasonable shots at it. Don't pass up good shots on closer 'mechs to take 11s or 12s on that Hunchback, though.

(So will the Hunchie, but it also has much better chances to die of other things, too.) If that Hunchie has stood still, though? You will never get a better opportunity. Hammer the son-of-a-submarine-sandwich!

Which is why kill the VTOLs NOW. If you do not shoot them down this turn, you will never, ever be able to hit them again. They can easily rack up a +4 move mod while at your long range. With the EM interference, you will literally be unable to hit them. You need to kill them right now, or they will very slowly murder all of you and there's not a drat thing you can do about it.
